work

I’ve had a bit of turmoil at work recently. My boss has been “reassigned” and since I am a PA that has quite an impact on my job. Unfortunately, since this has all happened there has been plenty if activity on the grapevine and what I had managed to ignore for the most part now is front and centre in my mind. I’ve always thought of my boss as a real salesman, and I’ve certainly had the hard sell from him before, he seems to be able to talk his way out of or into anything and he knows all the buzzwords. But in general he has been really good to me and we have a pretty good working relationship.

On the down side I’ve often thought he was a bit of a slacker, he spends more time mucking around on the internet than I do, he never seems to take responsibility for anything, avoids confrontation like the plague, and takes advantage of all the perks of a business credit card.

Until now I’ve nicely managed to ignore all of this and turn a blind eye, however, ye olde grapevine has revealed many greater evils than extended lunches and suspiciously high mobile phone charges. Individually, any one of these things can be ignored, but when you put them all together it exposes a rather nasty person who is only out for himself. Now every time he opens his mouth I wonder how calculated his words are, I’m sure he only tells me what he thinks I want to hear or what will make him sound good. It becomes a problem when you can’t take your boss seriously any more.
