Serious question, I spent 8 months "managing up" when my boss just wanted fewer emails
I was sending my manager in Cleveland a detailed recap email every Friday for 8 months, thinking I was being smart about keeping a paper trail and covering myself. Turns out she pulled me aside in March and said flat out, "I stopped reading these in October, they make me feel like I'm being audited." Has anyone else found out their whole strategy for dealing with a bad boss was actually making things worse?
