[quote=Anonymous]I have gotten some great advice on here because I lack and co-workers on my level at work and b/c we are small...no HR department so i hope I can get some more helpful advice. Let me start by saying, I cannot look for another job right now. I don't want to say why but I need to stay here for at least another 6 months...maybe longer.

I am the unofficial #2 at a small DC non-profit. I think my boss has early signs of dementia.  Staff talk to me about his odd behavior and about work-decisions on a nearly daily basis.

april was a very busy month for us and we did GREAT. Really, really great.  After everything calmed down the first thing my boss told me is that I was annoying him and needed to stop. (not congratulations on a job well done). I asked for examples and he said he didn't want to get into it and I was smart so if I thought about it,  I would figure it out.  The only thing I can figure, is that I spearheaded 3 great events in April and although they all worked out well, it was stressful and I do get impatient when stressed.

Since he's said this, I've noticed a pattern at work. He says something vague that he wants done and then staff and I try to make it concrete. While that thought process is going on, he gets physically agitated; staff asks is this sounds right and he repeats his vague idea.  When we figure out how, he's fine and generally agrees with the plan.  He also doesn't really listen in staff meetings, ever. We had a 2 hour staff meeting yesterday where everybody repeated themselves multiple times.

I share this b/c he is annoying for the staff but I don't want to annoy him.  I kind of feel like it's out of my control. His mind is annoying him...I'm helping him run the org but he's annoyed by that.

I am thinking about going to a board member but an concerned that could backfire for my org or my career but I really don't want him to be annoyed with me. I did ask for him to be specific next time I annoy him and so far, nothing.

Advice? Thanks.[/quote]
