Yup. I can relate. My former boss had issues. She would bring her personal problem and family issues to work and would share it with her employees. She would come into a meeting with all kind of non-business issues and break down in front of us. That was weird. Speaking of mood swings.

There's a time and place for everything. Work is not the place for sobbing and sharing your personal problems.


>I know that I'm a hard person to have working under someone, but I am so tired of dealing with the idiocyncrasies of bosses that I just want to quit and count clover in some far-off field. My current "functional" boss - meaning she gives me my work, but someone else has the admin duties - is killing me. I never know what mood she's going to be in when I have to deal with her. Is it the nice, caring one, or the moody, stressed one? Never know. It's like we're dating. And not the cool first third of the relationship, but rather the last "what are you doing here" third. I like what I do, but I swear I have got to find somewhere else to go. Yeah, I know, but I really don't care if they read this or not. What about others? Is it the same everywhere and it's just my problem with authority, or are there really good bosses out there to work for?
