Yet another hypothetical scenario...

[Zcustom]

Good questions by all.

I'm very good at all aspects of my job, and I keep the customers happy and grow the business.

2 years ago (some of you may remember) I was assaulted by an employee and my boss was a total douche about it. Ever since then I lost my "want to" to do things quickly for him. That's his only complaint about me. I still do his menial tasks, just when I have time instead of dropping whatever I was doing for his stuff.

He's not hiring his replacement, the guy who is wants me in the job. I was told by this guy that my boss said these things while he was telling the board I was the guy for the job.

I'm very good at what I do but my boss is a douche, and I have zero desire to impress him anymore. Also, I'm a warehouse manager, and I run 95-98% inventory accuracy, conduct the most thorough and accurate inventory in the company every year, and have 98-99% accuracy of deliveries. All these numbers are the highest in the company by a wide margin. He makes no mention of these things ever, only that my safety meeting was a day late etc.

I want to go kick him in the balls and tell him to kiss my ass, but of course I can't

hope it all works out for ya Z. Not saying this is you, and I know it wasn't me...but not all #2's are qualified or necesarilly the best person to take the #1 job when it's open. Some people reach their peak at 2!

Go out and look for another job. Not just to get it, but just to see what the market (and not just you, your friends, or your company) say you are worth. Then if that jives up with what you are thinking, take that to your hiring guru as well...options are key.

Tell corporate that youre the reason for the turnaround and to give you 6 months at the position. At that time they can re-evaluate, cross that bridge when you come to it... If they dont like you at that point, hopefully you made the most of that 6 months and have another gig lined up...

I 2nd this... especially if you dont get the position...

Just blow whoever is in charge of hiring you...that's sure to work and it's a lot less drama...trust me

What it really boils down to is my boss knows I'll do a better job than him. He doesn't want to be shown up, especially since he'll be working side by side with the people I'm going to impress.

Like I said the person in charge of filling that position told me I'm his guy, so that's good enough for me

I don't have all the facts but I will ask the question are their requirements for the other job that require additional experience in area's other than logistics? By way of example is their perhaps an operational or financial component, or a risk management aspect that you weren't exposed to as a number 2?

To me it sounds like dude could have purposely stunted your professional growth because he felt you were a threat to his role but you were useful because you had a strength which he didn't...which IMO would deserve a good kick in the balls.....

[Scrumtrilescent]

They should've paid for CE.

winner winner chicken dinner

The guy hiring his replacement has validated all the things I've had issues with my boss over. He sees the same crap I've seen for 10 years.

My boss doesn't care if you show up on time, hell he doesn't care about anything unless it makes him look bad. He makes excuses for poor performers, says "nothing is a problem unless I've heard about it 5 times", and just doesn't care. I'm so glad he's leaving

Also, to address you first paragraph, I've all but begged my boss to show me some of these things over the years and he refuses.

I'm more than capable of doing them though, and the folks in corporate know it.
