Today, she:

-told me to do something that I thought was a poor decision so I ran it by her manager who said "no way, bad idea". She then claimed I misunderstood her instructions.
- asked me to draft a termination letter for a crappy vendor we had and then rewrote everything I wrote and told me to start over. When all that is actually needed is "Contract not renewed.'
- accused me of being "unresponsive" in front of colleagues because I had not yet responded to a non urgent email from 10pm last night, by 11am this morning.

So I put in notice.

I tried to keep my mouth shut but I did say I spent more time answering to her complaints then I did actually working so I wasn't a good fit for the mission.[/quote]

Nice.

I quit a job like this once. I printed out 600 pages of analysis I’d been asked to do, brought them to my boss’ boss and explained I was quitting because the right answer was on page 1, and my boss had made me spend months on useless and poorly thought out analytics because he didn’t like the answer and that my talents were being wasted. My boss boss’ hemmed and hawed about turning over every stone and the like and I just told him to go ahead look himself, and I’d be shocked if he concluded anything other than my boss was pretty incompetent.

Three months later I heard my boss had been fired.

I spared someone else their idiocy. [/quote]

At least your former boss got fired. The bad boss I worked for is still there and likely to be promoted soon so she can cause more distress.[/quote]
