I give up
I spent the majority of my day yesterday working on something because the CEO kept bugging me about it and asked me to deal with it. However, other people in management had also been dealing with it -- but had not communicated anything to anyone. Then I try to be like this is what I did -- now it's time for you to play with it -- and the non-CEO management basically tells me "that's not what we talked about yesterday -- and you didn't need to do that." So I basically wasted a whole days worth of work dealing with it -- all for naught. I'm glad things were told to me. I love wasting my time.
The whole situation makes me so angry. If the CEO would stop micromanaging stuff would get done a lot faster and with less time wasting. He's always bitching about wasting resources -- but he himself inadvertantly does so by circumventing the other management personel. Instead of letting stuff filter down he just goes to the bottom first. It's such a waste.
This on top of bitching at me yesterday and the bitching email just is making me go over the top. I could have done so many other things than deal with that. And what I should have been doing would have taken me like 3.2minutes -- not the 5 or so hours I spent on it. And now I'm going to get bitching from Sales for not doing their stuff -- when I was too busy -- wasting my time!!!
I just feel like crap this week. I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, extremely frusterated, and just angry with this shit. I can understand why people don't stay around too long -- if employees are consistently treated like this. It's frusterating and stressful over dumb shit that really isn't that big of a deal. The CEO's biggeest problem is that he doesn't know how to pick his battles -- he chooses every battle -- and because of his combative personality everyone just gives in and doesn't fight usually -- so it just causes lots of problems that could have been solved if he kept his nose out of stuff.
So I give up. I'm just going to sit at my desk and hug myself in my nice comfy cashmere sweater. That is all.
