[quote=Anonymous]So, my division hired a new supervisor. Let's call it a "friend favor hire," basically. He has the education and management experience but has no subject matter expertise. We really needed someone who could hit the ground running and guide our section based on his or her 10+ years of experience and proven success.

It's been about two months now and I'm finding myself having to give him tutorials on a variety of things. Honestly, I feel that it's really not my job. They should have hired the right person, not a buddy. How have others handled this? I know it can help me in the long run to get on his good side. Still, I'm uncomfortable when he starts questioning something because he just doesn't know what he's doing. He never learned the ropes from the ground up the way others in our section have (and I can think of at least one person who should have been promoted into this job and wasn't).

So yes, I know. I could be helpful. On the other hand, he earns $40k more than I do and I'm the one keeping him afloat. [/quote]
