So I’m not exactly my boss’s boss’s biggest fan.  She’s a micromanaging controlling person, and when it comes to making difficult decisions she’ll avoid them like the plague unless she either knows that the fall out won’t affect her, or she has no other choice but to get up and act.

My boss while not the micromanager, does have to know EVERYTHING that’s going on.  If something happens without him knowing about it, he gets very upset.  Getting him upset is easy, and when he’s spun up he’s worse than a bull in a china shop.

My boss and his boss mix like oil and water…  Oh and they’ve been working together for nearly 10 years…

My boss’s boss is known for coming down to our office and providing tasking to the staff members without discussing it with my boss.  That’s something that irritates him.  Partly becuase he has to know all that’s going on, and partly because she ends up taking us away from other tasks and we end up missing deadlines.  Since we just have to have the never ending death spiral, our bosses boss reviews our projects and our deadlines, she will always call my boss on the carpet when we miss a deadline…  Even if she was the cause of missing the deadline. 

The situation came to a head last week, with some heated e-mails flying between the two of them and some loud “discussions” over the situation.  My boss now tells me that he wants to file a grevance against his boss…  Sadly, I don’t think it will go well, and things will just get worse for us as these two continue to clash…
