[quote=Anonymous]I had a boss who would spend significant time explaining to me in great detail exactly how she wanted something done, although it was a large and bureaucratic organization that had iron-clad procedures for [i]everything[/i]. I would do it to her (often strange) specifications, and either never hear back or see my work included in the appropriate reports etc, or hear back weeks later with "why was this done like this and not in the usual format??" This is how you asked me to do it. I have extensive notes on your preferences. "Ummm.... I don't think so..." while giving me that side-eyed "you're crazy" look.

She also cried at the drop of a hat. Seriously, pretty much every staff meeting had her tearing up over something. And at our little goodbye parties for people who were fed up with her complete lack of managerial skill, forget about it. Straight waterworks for a half-hour. She never got through a single farewell speech without sobbing, though she always insisted on making the speech.

She got fired, but gently. She's a genuinely nice person, really fun and friendly. But so disorganized and forgetful and ill-suited for the professional world that it didn't matter. [/quote]
