[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, ignore the haters.  If you are qualified to be their boss, they won't mind working for you.  Given that, it is difficult to find competent and professional people that aren't slackers.  Many people in the D.C. area are all about the title without the qualifications - they think others are as stupid as they are!  Funny.

Try an agency.  Maybe a temp agency, so you can make sure you like each other before committing to full time permanent.

If your boss has been promoted above their competence, they will take it out on you by giving you tasks with unclear directions and expectations, micromanaging it, and making sure you know your place, as well as how lazy and incompetent you are. Given that, expect that no matter how bright and hard working you are, you will be assumed to be barely capable of wiping your own fanny. God help you if you want to move to a job with more responsibilities and thinking required - don't you know? Your boss thinks you can barely manage being an assistant, a job so coveted that you must surely be bragging everywhere to everyone about your amazing job title as "Assistant to the Vice Director of Nothing Consequential."[/quote]
