[quote=Anonymous]I'm another with a boss who whines over and over and over about how overwhelmed she is--and not only does she do a terrible job of delegating, she's also very likely to do the tasks that her employees were hired to do while still whining about not having the time to do the tasks that truly are hers. You cannot get this woman to just back the frick off and do her own job.

Sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with my mother--the martyr syndrome gets so old. Either delegate the damn work (the stuff that you have REPEATEDLY said you want people to take on, but then you never respond when we say "give it to us! we'll do it!") or stop whining and moaning about how overworked you are.

She is also one of those who can be found answering e-mails from 6 am to 2 am seven days a week. I have zero sympathy at this point. I've tried my darndest to do what I can to help, but I'm now done with that. She's happy with my work, and will never fix her scary control issues, and so I have stopped being sucked into her martyrdom-guilt vortex.
