I left a perfectly good job, that otherwise I loved simply because I couldn't see eye to eye with my direct manager(Who had no real IT experiance herself and didn't know how to manage IT). Everytime I would complete a scheduled project she would cut the time estimated for completion on the next project by half. Her thinking was I could just re-use the scripts already created (yeah right like cut and paste, good grief!) I then would then have to argue till I was blue in the face to get the time back into the schedule that was cut. She would create unrealistic deadline which I would alway manange to meet and then get this...she accused me in a job evaluation of not meeting a deadline (which was untrue/ I was given an extension by the ower who realized I was killing myself to meet the stupid deadline).
I flipped and quit!!!
I have been manager phobic ever since.
BTW I really love my new job now. But I'm afraid I'm going to lose it to a merger at the end of march, such a tragedy.
