Ever since I made the decision to retire next year, I've been noticing irritants both big and small in the workplace. My boss has become a "ditherer". He nitpicks on the most inconsequential things and feels that every single thing he does is more important than anything or anyone else. It gets nearly impossible to meet deadlines for critical grant and award applications, because he'll suddenly insist that our staff organize a going away party for someone who is leaving in 2 months or they have to drop everything to find someone's phone number online.
I haven't had a meeting in months that he hasn't barged in on for something stupid. I was in the process of firing someone (which he knew about) and he burst in and asked me to ask our receptionist to make coffee! He had to walk right by her to get to my office!
He turned 65 this year and I wish we could force him to retire, but we can't. Good thing I am!
Ok.....rant off
