Ask HN: I don´t know what to do with my life.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7811072I've been working as IT/ system manager at a call center for about 3 years now. The people at my work are very nice with only a few exceptions. Among those exceptions there's my boss. She's a woman in her mid 40's, and she treats everyone like they are nothing more than subordinates. She expects people to go out of their way to help the business by staying extra hours and cancelling other appointments to fix problems that may not concern them. I truly believe she does't realize these things kill morale and productivity, as it's just how her personality is. It certainly makes it a grim place to work at when she's around. I doubt anyone working with me can say they like her. I might add she rarely give raises or promotions, and when she does, they are disgraceful. (I know the difference between asking employees to do their work and to treat them like slaves, so if you're thinking i'm just bitchy and lazy, i'd like to say i don't think i am.) On the other hand, it seems like she's making a lot of money for the directives.
