Work Stress

I consider myself to be a hardworking individual. I am always willing to perform my duties at 150 percent, regardless of the workload. I like my job and I have fun doing it. The problem is that lately I hate waking up to go to work and when I'm there I feel stressed to the max.

I think in my personal opinion that a good manager is there to maintain order, establish reasonable deadlines and make our jobs easier because if we have a concern or a problem we can go to them for answers. A good manager motivates the employees and provides a pleasant enviornment. Well not at my job ever since we got our new boss back in January.

This situation has taught me that upper management at time feels pressured to fill executive positions and do not follow the interviewing process to the point. What they end up doing is that they are lured into hiring someone with an incredible resume without checking if they can really do such things as they have listed in their resumes. Well we got an idiot and you wonder who is so stupid that they would hire this idiot without noticing how big an idiot this person is. The sad part is that the customers, clients, employees, and the office as a whole suffers the consequences. Turnover increases and the work load doubles on everyone and the office performance declines. That is so sad because all is because of one big fat idiot. Until they get rid of him let's see how long it will take before I explode.
