[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is that you change your attitude.  I realize that this may be "just a rant" but saying that your supervisor "has no brains" is over-the-top.[/quote]

I wouldn't say that to her face or at the office. This is an anonymous forum and I am venting, looking for inspiration. She is, by fact, not very intelligent, by the way. Question - are you a supervisor?[/quote]

I am not a supervisor.  I have worked for several people that I did not think were particularly good supervisors.  Some of them did not have a very good grasp of the subject area we work in.  Others had terrible people skills. Others had terrible organizational skills.  ALL of them had some valuable qualities.  I found a way to work with all of them.

NP here. This just as much an indication that you lack communication skills as it is she is not intelligent.

You say don't want her job but you sound very resentful. In most organizations, team members posses unique skills that the PM or lead may not have.

Look, if your biggest problem is that she is not very smart (according to you) then you are actually in very good shape.  You should do what you need to do to make her love you and give you good reviews.  It could be so much worse - she could be trying to sabotage or ruin your career.

Agree with PP you need to change your outlook on this situation. [/quote]

Disagree. OP doesn't say that the supervisor doesn't understand the OP's explanations, it's the fact that the supervisor needs explanation in the first place. That's not a communication issue on the part of the OP.

OP, my advice is to either find a new job, find a new boss, or sabotage / politically maneuver her out of your way. If she really is stupid then you should be able to play the game and have the upper hand. A bad boss can destroy your career. Eat or be eaten. [/quote]
