So she is a new boss. If she was developer till 6 months ago and only is now supervising you and I guess she'll have to get used to the changes that means (Stepping back and supervising and not being so hands on).

Well good luck. She may get the hang of it. You could raise how you feel about her attitude in a positive way. It might help her (as well as you).

>Funny, but it's almost the opposite, yet identical, here. I'll explain. She has been doing what she does for the past 6 years. Wrote and maintained the Foxweb-driven website. Pretty good job; she's smart and understands the big picture really well. She also treats the website like a child. Anything that goes on, she has to be made aware of. She is very much into control of all the details. I don't mind someone checking after me, but the level of checking - combined with her mood/attitude about any issues - makes it tough. She is not a newly-promoted boss, but her job has been strictly development until the past 6 months or so when she got help from me and another guy. She really isn't a good supervisor and has a hard time just trusting others to do what they need to do. So, in a sense, you could look at it that she was promoted simply by having others work for her, though it's truly not a promotion on paper.

>>Its a while since I've had a boss but I always found the newly promoted to be the worst to work for. The best bosses I have ever worked for where always someone who had been in the post a while (and not too ambitious)

>>>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?
