Dealing With Incompetent Leaders

"As a mid-level employee, you’ve been working for the ACME Company, a manufacturing firm, for the past two years. Your job performance has been solid, and on occasion, even praiseworthy. However due to the current economic conditions – poor profit earnings, massive layoffs and company restructuring, you now find yourself working for a new boss. Ordinarily reporting to a new leader would not pose a real problem but this time it feels different -- management practices have changed. The team environment has been transformed from one of true collaboration, honest dialogue and a commitment to problem solving to one where backstabbing, finger pointing and plain fear are the norms. Congratulations – you are now under the control of an “incompetent” leader!"

One of the most difficult and especially incompetent people my fellow employee and I have delt with is our Director of Customer Support "Michele". I do not understand why a company hires a director who does not know how to initially help the customer? I feel if you are in such a position you would hire someone that knows the in and outs of what they are incharge of. Instead netsuite hires a woMAN who doesn't know what she is doing and does nothing but make everyone else angry and upset, control freak who flunked out of college and can't count from 1-5. I can not stand someone so incompetent in such a position.

I work for an incompetent manager. He does not know what he is doing and puts too much emphasis on relationships. He flunked out of college and I will be graduating soon. I think he is intimidated that I will be his boss, so he nit picks things to get me into trouble. He is an absolute idiot and should be fired.

Well, my supervisor is this nice, bubbly and dedicated person. She's passionate about her job and is not controlling. The problem is that she's very disorganized, a poor communicator, is always late, never answers a question, doesn't know how to give instructions, and never meets any deadline. I don't dislike her because she's really, really trying, but the job is not getting done because of her. Bad bad bad.
