hello fellow NTers. i need a bit of advice. have you ever been in a position where your boss is totally incompetent (i.e. really makes working impossible), his/her boss is the same and so forth to the top? there has been a recent org. shift and i find myself in this situation.
if you need help from someone but address it with the direct boss multiple times and receive no aide, where do you go if they're all the same?
i'm going to be leaving here as soon as i find the right fit, but in the meantime i think i'm about to crack.
thanks.

Whatever happens, you'll be a better man if you flush a bag of concrete down the toilet.

thanks leah! k0na reading your posts ALWAYS help ;)
they are also requesting that i plagiarise another site to the letter, but i've been playing dumb and not delivering what they really want.
its just become toxic. i hope to hear how you guys handle major stress at work...i might learn something.
p.s. in my last post i meant "I.T. has 17 ppl"...i wrote it funny.

I'm going to back up my previous post by saying "Never get yourself into a problem that can't be solved by flushing a bag of concrete down a toilet."
this, considering that my current work "problem" is double fisting a beer and a margarita.

beer and margarita sounds damn good right now!

i once duct taped a bag of pork sausages under the bosses chair the day before i left. guy that i worked with said his offic e smelt for weeks.
do it.

You could put a whole fish in the bosses' desk or filing cabinet, pretty much accomplishes the same thing as the sausages.

Got the same problem ... we did try to hit out on person above the boss.. still waiting to see any results out of our campain' tho.

Sometimes going over someone's head insures that they'll treat you like shit for as long as you stay there

Could be a result - yes. But do you want to stay at a place like that? No...
