hi,
My
humbler advice below, use at your own risk
o
when I first come in to work under him.... I found
he doesn't like opinion different to him, although he kept saying
he would like to hear all opinions. I was inexperienced in my job,
but I tried to give him my opinions, write him reports whenever he
asked. However, It was useless, wasting my time, I doubt he read my
reports, the final decision is always his.
Ans:
Most bosses don’t like opinion unless they ask you personally else
don’t provide any opinion.
Worse case....when he got into trouble (not
following my suggestion), and then he or someone else worked out a
solution, not knowing or forgotten that the issue and the solution
were raised and offerred by me long time ago, he would happily tell
everybody that this is the correct way and please
follow.
Ans:
when he got into trouble then u provide him a solution or give him
some opinion privately.
On one occasion, when I saw he clearly was making
a fool out of himself. I openly sent out an email to the whole
group, telling him that it was a bad idea to do this and that. Soon
after that, I got rebuked, he said my "criticism" was not backed by
sufficient data, email like that could easily provoke people ("did
I provoke him?"), from his experience, he is certain his decision
is correct, etc, etc
Ans:
even he is making a fool out of himself, don’t ever sent out email
openly, this is declaring war to him. Best way is not to take any
action.
Fine, after that, since he dismissed my opinion
based on his experience, we did what we have been told. Then all
hell broke lose, unknown problems seemed to plague the whole group,
we were suffering until one day, he quietly adopted my idea, making
no announcement. I had no idea what was on his mind, so I still
continued to do what he has previously stipulated for some
time.
Ans:
after knowing that he quietly adopt your idea, meaning that was a
change of plan already. Drop every previous plan u are doing and
change to the new plan immediately.
Then one day he called me into his office,
told me he collected enough data and saw how my idea actually
worked, then started shooting me. "Did you remember what you wrote
on the email that day? You were the one who proposed this, but now
why you were doing otherwise? Don't you think this is like slapping
your own face?"
Ans:
reply tactfully, say boss still u r more 英明神武 then
me.
I was so frustrated. From that day onward, I
never offer him any deep analysis again. I just do what I have been
told, then finish task and go home quickly.
Ans: u
should do this everyday go take up some courses at night, unless u
have some other plan.
There is an advisor in my group, transferred from
a parent company. Boss is like under the advisor, won't object to
anything he says. The advisor I would say is smart and have plenty
of good ideas, but when coming to making the ideas work, he totally
cannot make it, looks like a complete novice. Whoever teams up with
this guy sufferred, because he always changes the plan, do what he
likes. Since my boss doesn't want his advisor to ruin his plan, he
told me to team up with the advisor.
Ans:
boss order already, what to do?
So I thought the best way to work with such a
person, would be to leave all the planning to him, then just do
what I am told. Then today, boss called me into office again, asked
me "why your team's progress is so poor? you are the main PIC,
shouldn't you be seeing into all these problems?"
Ans: u
better take over the planning..
Damn him, man! he got rid of a troublemaker, at
the expense of me, but still tell me this. I feel like I am being
fooled by the boss and advisor. Very sian of going to work now,
ever since I joined this company, I didn't think I improved myself
much.
Ans:
人在江湖飘，哪能不挨刀
What would you do, if you were
me?
Ans: pls
read the above
