I ask because my bosses are fucking disasters to work with. They never know what they have in stock, they're so fucking slow to get anything done, they have no filing system whatsoever for important documents and they're so messy that they make my toilet bowl after Mexican night look like a plate clean enough to clean off of.

We get the most done when they're not there, and by we I mean me and three teenagers who are still in secondary school. We have to come in every morning and sort out their mess for minimum goddamn wage.

So yeah, my bosses suck. Are yours any different? Could they actually work a wage job?

    I work construction, union.

    My boss, the CEO, is very knowledgeable, but not great at actual management. He's kind of the stereotypical boomer engineer. Type of guy you ask a simple question to and get a 15 minute technical explanation as an answer. Its good at times, to learn more, but also its not great to just get work done.

    My more immediate boss, the head project manager, is actually great. Biggest problem I have with him is he's hella busy, and therefore sometimes scatterbrained around remembering random things that weren't scheduled, but he's one of those construction PMs that worked in the field for years, and generally knows how shit actually works.

    Politically, coworkers are basically all chuds, but I just kind of avoid talking politics, and it goes. "Union" might be the reason people here are generally knowledgeable. Union construction is a pretty small market share where I am, though what jobs are union are usually the big ones.
