Managing

To outthink myself again ... or something my "manager" does incredibly poorly

Either way, here I am in month two of my "nujob" -- and setting new landspeed records, I am futless about certain things that irk me about my immediate superior


Namely, that he doesn't know how to manage -- at all -- actually today while explaining something to me he told me -- well, I'm not an MBA -- to which I should have said: ok, well I am -- so what?!?!?!


The really cruel irony of it all is that it is a fantastic place to work, with really fantastic people, all really nice -- and then there's me being picky about managerial issues that are seeming to overshadow the good of the experience


I don't know what to do

I think you are on point about the smarter than superior

I have thought about it, and it may be that a bigger aspect of it is that I do not have another guy to bond with at work -- I find it very odd that the only other guy in my div is my superior, who I wouldn't be able to bond with for nothing

Amazing that my dissonance largely circles around my not being able to have someone either my age or male to bond with

grin and bear it. it's the corporate paradox. you will always be smarter than your superior. its the law of nature.

i learned the hard way not to expect too much. all you can do is be the best you can and at the end of the day be happy for what you accomplished and not worry about fatheads who think they know better.

dont let um get you down. corporate world is just like that. breathe in. breathe out.

then notice the people who flee to other companies. :-) dont burn bridges in the advertising world. eventually you will all cross paths again. trust me on this one.
