I was promoted to mgr a year ago, but my boss did not make the necessary changes to have anyone report directly to me. He told me I only manage the projects, not the people. So, of course, I have to manage the people on these projects and on day to day tasks, have talked repeatedly to him requesting that this be changed. The staff is confused, I can't accomplish my goal of managing/supervising, and now I was even downgraded for that fact on my annual review!!! Also, my boss has told me that I need to lower my standards and expectations. He knowingly hired C players in the department, but criticises me for the staff I hired. Of course he didn't even bother to interview them, and neither did HR...but he acts as if I am at fault. I know that there are behind the scenes comments made about me as he is so passive aggessive and does not comment to me directly, but he does not even have me interview staff level employees now, I believe as a result of some crazed HR rep who is on final notice and the entire company thinks is crazy as well, but alas, she is still there. My boss constantly complains about the staff, but when I do, I am too critical, etc. From one day to the next I have no idea where things stand b/c he constantly changes his mind. One minute no one is promotable, the next day, he's asking me whether I think that someone is promotable, that everyone knows is a C player and just does not get it. It makes me totally crazy when he says, well will so and so become a Director, no...NO KIDDING they won't if they can't even move to the next level!! Someone help me! Oh and he put other crazy things on my reivew, like you need to refrain from using the phrase, I don't know as filler at the end of a sentence. This is a man that uses so many prepositional phrases, such as to that extent, in that regard, etc. that it makes you dizzy. He also tells me to take on a project and use the staff, but then he directs the staff and they go to him and vice versa throughout the enitre project, so how am I to even know what is said or what is going on. He totally exhausts me. Last week he screamed at me and I could visibly see even before he screamed at me that he was having a hard time controlling himself because of his facial expression and his hands were shaking. He's also told me that he hates his job and does not want to be there at all. What I want to say, is well leave then!!!!
