How to Survive a Bad Boss

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the stainless-steel-pants-to-cya dept.

Lam1969 writes "Computerworld has a three-page spread on how to deal with bad bosses. A common type is "the overgrown technologist who gets rewarded for brilliant technical work by being promoted to a position for which he's not qualified." Another type reported by a reader is the boss who's in over their head. The article says some bosses can be "fixed," but at other times it's better to hunker down or cover your ass so the bad boss can find other targets."

    Sure you're not confusing "mailmen" with "Klingons?"

    But are you planning to use poison, a cold weapon, a firearm, or an explosive device?
