I currently work for a company who recently has downsized. I do all in house work, client installs, builds,q.a, well basically all the in house work.
My direct boss is VERY untechnical and lately I have found it VERY hard to deal with his lack of knowledge.
The biggest issues I have had are as follows:
I am on many deadlines at a time. I get stopped to put together a half fast quote as I cannot be late on the deadline, in the meantime, three support calls comes in, I give quote, time too much so they outsource it. I then I have to fix everything the vendor broke.
I get asked, when an issue arrises, why is the issue occurring and explain in detail, yet that detail means absolutly nothing to him.
All he cares about are deadlines, yet he is the one who schdules everything.
"I am a programmer not a graphic designer, meaqns nothing to him"
I was hired as a .NET programmer, yet they let a vendor choose wordpress for many sites(yeah I had to learn all about it quick)
I guess I can go on and on, but has anyone had to deal with this type of project manager? What is some advice, other than finding another job.
Thanks in advance, and I made this a wiki, so please don't close...
