Need help surviving a bad boss?

Nearly anyone who's worked in IT is familiar with this all-too-common scenario: a technologically brilliant boss with no management skills. Unfortunately, it's just one of many bad manager stories in IT.  There's also the non-technical manager with no idea how to run an IT department. The boss who micromanages. Or the boss who calls 3-hour crisis meetings at 4:30 on a Friday -- and then leaves before they're finished.

 

In our Jan. 23 feature package How to Survive a Bad Boss, Computerworld examines coping strategies for surviving a bad boss. And all next week, we'll have experts on hand to answer some reader questions about how to deal with a less-than-ideal supervisor.

 

Have any situations you'd like to share? Need some advice on how to deal with your boss? Post your comments here, and we'll ask our experts to offer some suggestions next week.
