| Wrong Boss for Wrong Business |
|
I was unemployed when I was offered a position doing just about everything at a start up sign shop. I decided to take it on, seeing that I didn't have any management experience and I needed a job. The first month was slow, little things were happening I thought would get worked out by the boss. Not the case, as time went on, I wasn't getting pay stubs, but written checks. Every time I offered my opinion (well researched or known by me) he would normally take his question to another group of "owners" in this network and forget my suggestion, finding out later that we should have gone my way on a project and having to deal with all the crap that happened with it. I do all the design, production, maintenance, inventory (not much), then on top I am a salesman, going to networking meetings and getting work into the shop. I've worked with him for 9 months, with no review of my skills, no incentive program to keep me motivated, nothing. Same thing every day, and all the responsibility to complete a project falls on my shoulder. He commands the pricing and I have no access to the pricing software so jobs that I could quote slip though my fingers and I can't do anything about it. He is constantly gone, and i am left sitting here on days like this with absolutely no motivation to do anything else but bitch about him.
