People rise to their greatest level of incompetence, isn't that the saying? My "boss" is a wreck. She constantly talks about the abusive relationships she's been in, her ex-druggie and always pregnant daughters (none are married), and how she "gave up" drinking -- read "got sneakier" about it. She chain smokes and smells like death. She rewards only obedience, not actually doing the job well, and avoids confrontation like it's physically painful. (Sorry, it's part of management!)
I work for a large chain of veterinary hospitals that are well known. She keeps getting promoted for bringing in more money, but does it by cutting our hours, double booking appointments and surgeries, and making us clock out for lunches we aren't actually taking. Illegal you say? Not if she brings in food, apparently – that she cooked, and tends to make everyone sick, too. She can go into surgery drunk, but is backed by a corporation that has a lot invested in her and her partner vet, and that handles the malpractice stuff for them. I like my profession – saving animals' lives is exciting and honorable. How can I take pride in this if I am working for a high functioning moron? If any one around here was hiring, I'd be out of there!
