Things you want to say (but shouldn't) outloud at work

To the new boss:
We all know that you are micromanaging us because you are insecure. We were excited to have you come in, and liked you OK, until you started micromanaging, getting bit*#y and thinking that intimidating us meant you would look good. EVERYONE, including your boss, sees that you have run morale into the ground in a record-breaking 4 weeks. Oh yeah, one more thing- telling me that I needed to get my priorities straight because I use the weekends to work on my PhD and can't always be available to do your bidding just made me NOT be on your team. Any support you were going to get from me just went from 100% to 0%. Good luck.

Hey, good for you for working towards your PhD. Ignore someone who seems so insecure. Maybe you trying to better your situation makes your boss feel inferior. That sucks. Just keep working hard. Good luck with your studies.

I was in that exact situation a few years ago. The replaced my really awesome boss with a Miss USA wanna be. Seriously she relocated so she could compete in the Miss USA pageant. She made my life a living hell with that same time of behavior and nothing made me happier than being able to quit and move far far away from her. Sending positive energy your way and that is so awesome you are working toward your Ph.D. :-)

I WISH it was 85 degrees in my office! Instead, it's probably hovering around -2. That's what it feels like, at least.

You can pretend all you want to that you moved everyone around to "match strengths to needs," but we all saw where your favorite boy landed- right smack where I'd just spent a year pulling everything together. Hope the two of you are happy together, cause EVERYBODY else in the building hates you.
