He directly keeps me from doing the work we need to do and has (until lately) always forced himself into my plans. Wanna get away and do work orders because I work faster without? "Oh dude I wanna come." Wanna do building inspections first thing at the time WE POSTED FOR? "Nah, I don't feel like it, I'd rather we wait until after lunch." Wanna drain the pool because it's DECEMBER and we need to shut that shit down? "I don't feel like it, maybe next week."
My supervisor is the single biggest detriment to anything getting done. He's going on vacation from the 14th-27th, and I couldn't be more excited for him to be gone. He says he feels sorry that he's taking two whole weeks off, but he's actually gonna be doing me a huge favor for my sanity, and I intend to use the time he's gone to iron out all the kinks and all the work he's put off doing. It's the only way to do it, because when I take days off (such as today and yesterday), he does next to nothing. And he tells me this. He has no problem telling me "yeeeeah, I basically did nothing." If it's his weekend to check the property for trash (which it is), he just won't come in, so when we come back on Monday there's a literal mountain of trash for us to deal with and he'll just be totally cool with it because he's the boss and no one holds him accountable.
How am I supposed to expect anything to get done with someone in that position who acts the way he does?
