In my last job, I had a very difficult line manager who turned everything into a huge debate. He also held very outdated views, had wandering hands and claimed to know everything from customer service to finance, technical, IT and sales - but never delivered anything of substance. Basically a Jack of all trades master of none type of character. I would always tell him when he was wrong and give him solid points to back my case. While everyone always agreed with me and gave me props for pulling him up on all of this, not everyone had the courage to do the same for fear of losing their jobs.
Have you ever had a boss like this? How did you manage the situation? Which side of the fence do you fall on - would rather be a 'yes man' and just do as you're told to keep your job or do you prefer to stand up for yourself and state your case? I'm curious to hear all your views.
