how do you give your department head feedback, both me and teammate feel our head of marketing has too many opinions and gets so into the weeds of our work that so many processes become ineffective. like i'll run something i wrote by her with the intention of making sure all the key messaging is there and she rewrites stuff just because she prefers to write it the way she writes, same thing with our designer, she runs stuff by her to make sure it's directionally correct but she gets in the weeds saying exactly what the design should be...it creates major headaches during reviews because people are changing entire pieces of work to appease her

Ha! My colleague and I did a 90 min demo and they were like this is nice, but our competitor does this already. Also - how do we already integrate this with the current products from y'all we use - so that means building another use case to prove them they need it.
Still fun to test out my demo skills.

quite literally my whole team is having the same issue with my old manager/now our head of marketing, she stays with too many opinions all in everyone's work

In a UAT meeting with the finance director and my boss makes me fukking sick. She starts shucking and jiving for this mofo making promises she can't keep so he can be happy. Thank goodness for this one dude he was like "I thought we tried that and it didn't work, have we gotten that working since then?" She gets to stuttering and tripping over words. Girl, you don't look good promising shyt we may not be able to do just to say we can do it.
I know it may be wrong to think this way, but I want a male boss. A white one that loves his family to be specific. They don't schedule meetings in the evenings or on Fridays. Yes, I'm being discriminatory. It happens to me all the time so it's fine. Women be trying way too hard and making your life miserable in between.

Bosses secretly want staff back in office, says CBI's Tony Danker
The head of the business lobby group claims the world of work has "gone crazy" since the pandemic.
www.bbc.co.uk
The head of the UK's biggest business group has said most bosses "secretly" want all of their staff to return to working in offices.
Tony Danker, director-general of the CBI, said the "whole world of work" had "gone crazy" since the pandemic.
Many companies have changed policies on remote working since Covid restrictions eased, with staff offered the chance to work from home and offices.
Mr Danker said working patterns would be talked about "for a few years".
Speaking on the BBC's Political Thinking with Nick Robinson, the boss of the CBI, which represents 190,000 UK businesses, said he had "no idea" where working patterns were "going to land".
"You ask most bosses, everybody secretly wants everyone to come back into the office," he said.
"I just don't think that's going to happen overnight. I think we are all coping with this....but we're going to be talking about this for a few years."
Companies in many industries have been wrestling with whether to allow remote work practices to continue since Covid restrictions have been removed.
Some sectors, such as banking, signalled early on that they would expect staff to return to the office, while others allow remote working indefinitely. Many places have opted for a mix.
Flexible working policies splits opinions. Some have claimed working from home makes staff unproductive, while over half of women in a BBC survey said working from home helped career progression.
Recent research by the online recruitment platform LinkedIn found a third of companies in the UK were planning to cut back on flexible working in the coming months, although nearly two-thirds of workers said they were more productive in a hybrid or remote work environment.
- 'I quit my job rather than go back to the office'
- Tuesday to Thursday is new office work week - data
- Employees can ask for flexible working from day one
According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of people who are economically inactive - which is people aged between 16 and 64 not looking for work - has been at a higher level since the start Covid.
The House of Lords' economic affairs committee highlighted retirement, increased sickness, changes to migration and the UK's aging population was also contributing to the current tightness in the labour market.
Mr Danker said he wanted to create "pathways" for people to return to work for those who were on universal credit, or had been unable to work due to sickness.
"We are going to work with companies to make sure that they can bring you health support and wraparound care to absorb yourself back into work," he added.
When the economy reopened following the Covid lockdowns, job vacancies surged. The number of openings on offer has dropped since, but it is still above pre-pandemic levels.
One way to attract new staff other than to offer pay rises has been to offer flexible working. In December last year, the government proposed employees be given the right to ask for flexible working from their first day at a new job.
Asked about board members and executives playing golf on Fridays and joking about only working Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday stunting Britain's economic growth, Mr Danker said: "You want me to launch an all out attack on Friday golfers?
"Look. Yeah, you might be right. I think the whole world of work is totally gone crazy. We have no idea where it's going to land."

Yeah, of course they do. Sucks when a working model you once claimed wasn't realistic is now the norm and people realise they have options and more freedom and wouldn't have it any other way. Also sucks that even if you try to pull a bait and switch people can just go elsewhere (especially if you're in IT) and not deal with the bullshyt.
fukk these dinosaur bosses and their offices.
