ok, so we are trying to hire a new guy to help me out with the website we maintain and other odds and ends around the office. Basically helping me out with what i was so busy doing for a year and a half now.
shouldn't i be meeting these people? should the boss be giving me resumes that come in, not to make final decisions but just to tell him what i think.
this person will obviously be working under me. is this wrong?
anyone have this happen to them? advice?

"this person will obviously be working under me."
This person is obviously replacing you. ;)

just jivin'
Maybe he's just narrowing it down for you and you'll do the second interviews.
Only you have the power, believe in yourself and all your dreams will come true.

Since you are a whiny control freak Im sure he knows it and is actually hiring someone to be your lead. Stop worrying about your bosses business and let him take care of it.

swollen,
If you're in a company like mine, the bosses' greatest creative effort in the last year was picking out the color of his minivan. And god-dammit, he'll pick out the next hire. The creative is the last to have a decision here. While I'm busy designing, the others are positioning themselves to take up my political airspace. Taking responsibility for 'creative planning' etc. Although I was interviewed by everyone in the company, I have had no say in future hirings. I'm not supposed to be that smart. Your portfolio is strong and you've proved yourself. Let's just hope that they don't don't dump a completely useless designer in your lap.
I don't think they are replacing you. I'd make a statement to the boss like, "Who ever you hire, I'll make the best of it, but unless you let me in on the process and at least ask a couple questions, I can't guarantee the quality of the work."

Hey Swollen,
I am keeping it real.If you had a good position there or if your boss liked you enough he would make you privy to what hes doing. The flipside is he is a dick and you should take it to heart and realize he is in it for himself and that you either need to shut up and eat the shit sandwiches or leave.

within time...i will know within the next 6 months my fate here. the boss always seems like he's on my side. i mean, i could care less if i get to meet a little punk kid from long island who has a computer and know the center tag.
thanks steak, and btw did you watch, "when keeping it real goes bad" chappelle show.
