Little background before I go on my rant. Worked for a private company that was bought out by a corporation after 6+ years. Spent 3 years in the field as a technician learning the equipment and processes, then moved into International sales and marketing until January of 2016. At that point they moved me into domestic sales for USA and Canada where there was absolutely no activity except for a few very forward thinking groups. When the switch was made in 2016, had to hand over all my international contacts to a guy based in the ME. he proceeded to never contact one of them, ironically he is now running the whole show for our group. I also was given incomprehensible numbers by our VP and I told him in the meeting that what he was projecting would never happen because no one in the US coats internal filed joints like is done in SA or the ME. Probably should have kept my pie hole shut but it was ludicrous what they were asking. I had also just come off a 6 year, 3 month & 21 day sales cycle for a 42 million dollar job that not only pulled in millions or our core group, but also pulled in millions for two of our sister companies. This corporation, even though they pushed cross selling, also didn't cough up bonus one for that effort. Mind you not one of the people giving me these numbers had ever worked in our field, was familiar with our customer base or had even been on a sales call with me.
That sucks....last year got a boss just like this. Had been with my company for 12 years (3 as a technician) this guy had never been in the field. Complete 100% narcissistic jackass! I ended up leaving because had a new job offer for more money, home office and back to international work. This guy was a micromanaging POS as well, still baffles me how he ever got hired. He took credit for my work, clients and jobs I brought in. He would cut me out of meetings with my clients for jobs I had coming up, so he could look like the big guy. He and I got into it numerous times and at one point he wrote me up, which where I worked was like writing on the wall, that your time was limited. What was worse was the guy who I had worked with before rolled over and let this guy treat everyone like shit....in the end did document all his transgressions and his attempts to make himself look great and everyone around him look small, but corporate had decided that he was the guy who would dig us out of the hole and that was that. Even our HR rolled over even though by federal government standards I was a protected species at 56.
Almost a year out now, look back with a bit of nostalgia in that miss the people I worked with although nearly everyone has left, but it was a great ride. Ironically enough that jackass was let go in December of 2017 because he hadn't moved the needle at all and I guess some of the upper management blowhards saw he was pretty useless. Found out later that his wife did a ton of his work for him, especially all his PPT work and scripted his presentations. Figures.....use to call the guy "little Nicky" because he looked just like that character.
Things definitely turned out better by leaving, but man what a bunch of chickenshits it turned out I worked for. Management just rolled over and let the little folks get pounded. That company has lost over 300 years of tribal knowledge in the last 3+ years, and most of the upper management people I would let put mustard on a hotdog was eating.
See if you can outlast the jackass and good luck man. I know its a grind, but hang in there.
