It may not happen as often as employees would like, but supervisors are not immune.

It’s a bad practice for everyone involved if that person is not yet ready, and may never be ready, to do that job. Can you go to a colleague of your supervisor or someone above your supervisor anonymously?

I’ve got a poor supervisor at EPA (I can tell the difference; I’ve worked for good ones). I like what I do but I think often of finding a new job, just to get away from this dope. Others in my office feel the same way, but we don’t speak up or try to offer advice. We don’t go to senior management because there’s zip faith in confidentiality. Who needs angry denials – and maybe a damaged performance evaluation?
