[b]Her strategy with me seems to be offloading her tasks to me. If she thinks I am not busy enough and I have time do outside contracting work, she will offload more tasks to me. [/b]This doesn't increase her take home pay, however. Maybe eventually she will examine her strategy to see it is not working for her.

Some people are just loathe to admit or accept that people who are subordinate to them on the official hierarchy might actually be better off than they are, or might have some good ideas to share to lessen their work load. They would much rather be in charge. [/quote]

NP.  I agree with PPs - like it or not, that's what supervisors do.  They give their subordinates things to do. As a manager, one of the things that I am evaluated on is how well I manage my team, which includes making sure all the necessary work gets done in the best/most efficient manner possible.  "Idle capacity" is the worst thing (at least for my management team!), and if it persists, we have to re-evaluate our long term staffing needs.  And yes, it is the prerogative of management to "offload" stupid tasks to their staff (a good manager will hopefully not take advantage of it, but all of us do it on occasion).   Sounds like you aren't used to being managed like that, and that's ok in and of itself, but she's totally within her rights as a manager here.  If you don't like it, make that consulting gig your full time employment.[/quote]
