[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'd be curious to hear her assessment of your talent and intelligence.  I'm a supervisor, and I often find the folks with the biggest attitudes are the ones with the most overinflated opinion of their own talents.

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate."

I've been working for 25 years; perhaps I'm just lucky but I've never had a stupid boss.  I've had a wide range of talents, but none have been stupid.[/quote]
