[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Step down.  It isn't fair to the people your working with and they surely notice.  You are likely making their lives absolutely miserable.  I speak from personal experience working with [b]a boss who was far from ready to be a boss[/b].[/quote]

Lots of bosses like this out there. No amount of training or experience will ever prepare some people to be the boss; they just don't have what it takes.[/quote]

True, but sometimes they learn. My boss is like this. Knew nothing when she started -- barely conversant with the subject matter, had never managed before. We all hated her guts. But 6 months in she has improved tremendously. She'll never be my favorite -- still inexperienced as a manager -- but at least she is reasonably competent with the subject matter now, and she does work hard, which counts for something. She'll be gone in a few years anyway. I guess that's the one good thing about political positions -- easy come, easy go.[/quote]
