I've come close to gouging my eyes out several times over the past few weeks. My manager is an idiot. This isn't a "I don't agree with his management style," because he doesn't have one.

Everyday occurrences:
1. Fails to grasp basic functions of department (purchasing/sourcing).
2. "Drop everything and work on this": something that he 'needs' for his boss, which really isn't that important.
3. No backbone--doesn't stick up for department, thereby sticking us with extra work, then complains to us, "they just don't understand how much we do."
4. No incentive to improve anything. No major changes in workflow in the 3 years he's been there.

Frustrated as hell, which is why I'm gonna bail fairly soon. Any other 'boss' stories?

Edit: Realized I didn't ask for any advice...anyone else going through this? How do you make it through the day?
