It's a small firm involved in a merger but the industry is like 1 big high school. The new boss has drifted thru several companies where she has a rep for not doing anything, her projects bombing left & right; runs ops groups with no knowledge (nor willingness to learn) of the work they deliver. She takes relo packages rather than get fired for incompetance. She gets promoted because of looks and family connections. Now she is our boss, does nothing, makes a HUGE salary. Never makes meetings or shows up severlty late rolling her blackberry and not paying attention; never dials in yet messages us tons of questions about things she'd have caught had she showed up. Never supports us in problems, takes no ownership or acountability when we struggle - we're on our own. Takes off in middle of releases to go shopping in NYC. Does not leave out of office messages, nor tell us in advance when she is taking a vacation day. Has formed no trusting work relationships because people do not want to be associated with her. Bad rep known all over the place. Folks in other offices who worked for her were laid off arbitrarily because she would not fight for them (she fights for nothing and nobody but herself) and she still has a job. Doesn't say thank you. Holds extended personal chit chats rather than hang up in time to honor an appointment for employee 1:1's.
