[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'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]

this year i have been working for a boss that is stupid.   out of his league.   He fell into a promotion after another round of layoffs.   He doesn't do anything other than shuffle people around and do cya.   everyone knows but the managers at his peer level are the same ethnic group so they cover for him.  very demoralizing.  [/quote]
