Nope, he does this consistently. He tries way more than he can chew. He is constantly moving, doing stuff, forgetting.
I think he is trying to micromanage everything. Which is funny, because the whole point of getting me to "learn" more, is to make me the "leader" of Support. So I am not depending on him.
While in the same day hours later..., he then told me he cant give me "control" or the "responsibility" because I do not "produce" (as in get money in the company).
and I'm like.. WHAT?


No he is not diagnosed. I'm saying that its his behaviour, one hour he seems fine and is explaining a lot and how I should get more info from him for X stuff. The next is berating me on how I should not be asking him and I should be more independent..etc.. he consistently contradicts himself.

Also what?
Did you even read what I'm dealing with? "something he can't control". HES BLAMING ME FOR SOMETHING I CAN'T CONTROL.
He's the one who registers to a crapload of sites, then wants someone else to shutdown them because of costs.. then gets angry when noone knows his passwords or credentials that ONLY HE KNOWS.





It does not matter if I start with "is this a good time". He's the one engaging me, not the opposite.
He gets to me, barks order. I ask him for info about the orders, he gets ****ed.
I never know when he's on his good side.
"wait until the storm blows over" not helpful either when he's the one setting up deadlines then complains later on that I'm not fulfilling them. Most of the time I cannot wait until "blows over".
Also, read again my post... "Hey, is this a good time? I wanted to talk to you about this app. I don't recognize this from the list we agreed on and I was wondering...." thats is kinda how I approach.
I am like "Hey boss, I do not know this tool, can you share the credentials to shutdown asap" and he flips his crap.
I'm not even sure why you seem to defend my boss. My brother has had these kind of bosses. And they will keep asking more and more and more.




Thats what I hope.

So very sorry you’re having to deal with all that craziness. No excuse for his behavior that much of the time, IMO.
But, I can kinda’ relate...
As you know, I work with 4 different partners in our firm. They’re always “fighting” over who gets me next for whatever design phase one of their projects is in, and you never know what mood is going to be the mood of, literally, the hour, sometimes...!!!!! :hilarious:
As I’ve posted many times before, at the end of the day they treat us very well in many ways, but, it isn’t a cakewalk by any means, so much of the time.
But, I’ve worked for them for so long now (28+ years in total), I have no fear they would just dump me for no good reason.
Our top Project Manager, at the time, left the firm a coupla’ years ago.
He confided in me before he even told the partners he was quitting. He said he just couldn’t take the 4 personalities anymore, and had to leave to save his sanity. They tried everything they could (including offering him a junior partnership) to keep him, and he declined.
The best of luck for finding something much better, soon...!!! :)

The saga of me trying to take a bath this week...

Monday...ten minutes in...B opens the door "Missy, get out, my turn." 😐
Tuesday....twenty minutes in...B opens the door... "Missy, get out, I need the toilet."🙄
Tonight...I made sure he'd gotten his bath first and that he'd been in there to use the toilet...five minutes in...B opens the door...for no reason. I yell at him to get out. Ten minutes later...he opens the door again...for no reason. Another ten minutes later my dad tells me to get out because B needed the bathroom...which he actually did not. Then B says to me, after I again yell at him for opening the door, "I'm not bad, just annoying." 😑

First of all, @Cesar R M , we're all praying for you to get another job with at least a fairly sane boss.

@donaldtoo , I copied a section of your post above, as it reminded me of something I heard years ago, when I was attending a job search seminar, sponsored by the state. The speaker warned against people accepting a counter offer, when they decided to quit their (present) job. The reason is that leading up to their quitting, there were some serious reasons why they wanted OUT of there.

Hence, if a person accepted a counter-offer, (even if a few things, such as a bit more salary, were thrown their way), nothing else would change, no matter what was said to them by the boss. He was saying that any good boss or company, etc., would have been treating the employee well, all along, not just when faced with an employee quitting.

I think many (or perhaps most) of us have more or less "dealt" with issues at every job we've had. Most of the time, we can create workarounds to save our sanity. However, when things get toxic, it's time to go.

Times like that I'm glad the Disney Wonder cabins has two separate bathroom areas.
