Anyone else experience similar workplace BS? This whole working for the man thing is a real pain sometimes. My manager pulls this BS all the time. He has had us do work that has already been done in another place in our division. He wants us to set the bar for the entire company, when what we work with isn’t used by the entire company (and those that do use our software already have a bar set). He’s given us goals to accomplish, then before our review he tells up those goals do not line up with the company goals and cannot be used. Umm…excuse me, but weren’t you the one that created those goals from the start?! And finally, he’s the type of person to avoid answering a direct question at all costs (ask him what he thinks about how I’m doing and his reply is, “you tell me how you think you’re doing”) I am in a good position right now that pays me decently for the work that I do. The benefits I get from working here still make up for the crappy manager that I have. /rant --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-feel-like-i-need-an-hr-degree/196066)._
