[quote=Anonymous]My boss is driving me crazy and worse, driving other staff crazy as well.  I think I have to leave but that's not easy. I am #2 in a small, niche organization and I love it.  Boss, i think, is either incredibly narcissistic or has dementia and I can't tell which.

He can't make a decision.
He reverses himself constantly.
He can only focus on one thing at a time, if that.
He doesn't know what anybody in the office is doing. This is very odd b/c I know everything everybody is doing plus I've given him, in the last month 4 memos on what I am doing and a timeline for their completion as well as some strategic planning concepts that will take shape later.

Next week, for him, is very light so he wants all of us to focus on strategic planning for next year and he just announced it today.  My week is packed with that (strategic planning with key members).  It's weird that he gets all pissy when I"m not available at his whim.

I think I"m particularly frustrated b/c new staff are asking me how to deal with him and I'm starting to think it is just not possible and that he's seriously got memory problems.  He's also been lying the last few months and I've not noticed that before.  "no I didn't say X'' when he clearly did, in front of 2 or more staff.  That happened yesterday and 2 weeks earlier.

Thanks for reading this vent.  If anybody has a boss like this or has had one, how do you deal. I will start looking next month but I really like this organization and job but this guy is crazy-making for me and the office and I"m not sure how to deal with it. Thanks.[/quote]
