How do you feel when you see that you are better than your boss at work???

One cannot assess a boss against the one who is reporting to him for the simple reason that the job description of someone who is higher cannot be compared with the one who is working under him. There will be many reporting and each one would have their specific job description and the boss would have to oversee the work of all those. This is my view.

Hello sjvg! Yes this does happen in a lot of businesses because many bosses/owners/managers do not know their own businesses well. Many think that all they have to do is own and or be the manager and allow the employees to run it all. As for me I am the type that has to know it all. Each and every corner of a business before I can show others how to run the business. Shame that a Manager sometimes does not even know how to use the office equipment and relies on others to do it all. These are not very good managers as when the business some day is without the valuable employee the manager is completely lost, causing the business not to run well.

I assume it is the reason why you are hired and get pay for your superior knowledge. But don't feel over pride on yourself. Your boss is running a business empire while you are managing a company department, it isn't necessary that you are a lot better than him in term of cleverness and intelligent just because you have experience in the related work.

Means you are trying to saying you are smarter that sound good hey come to my office there is one vacancy for the post of boss. Surely it will benefit for our company so when you are joining to our compnay i'm eagerly waiting for doing the work to a smarter boss

i can't agree with u,.there are many fields in the world .me as a intern ,i also think i do something better than the boss ,i can type faster than my boss ,i can also eat faster than him ,i can talking in english leisurely while he and hardly say hello.but there're better amount of things he can do better than me ,and please belive me you boss is exellent.

I had a response all typed up but the computer malfunctioned for a second and I can't paste my response in here so forgive the shortened response. As the owner of a small business, I intentionally hire people that know more than I do. Then I educate the further. I want them to do the job to the best of their ability and that is why I hire them. If I could do it all myself I'd have no need for them. Bosses aren't perfect and we're not all-knowing. We hire employees to pick up what we cannot do. For example, I am colorblind and completely unartistic so I can't do web design but I understand website psychology. As an employee you serve a valuable function, otherwise you wouldn't be there. If your boss's lack of knowledge gets in the way of you doing your job, then it might be time for you to look for another boss. Otherwise, you should realize the fact that your boss needs to to perform the job function that you were hired for. http://www.villageads.net

There are times when it appears that our bosses are not up to the job. But that will probably only be in select ways. Of course, they did get the boss's position, so it is probably not helpful to dwell on their thoughts too much.

That's a tough one! Your boss probably takes credit for others work too. Try to make your work more visual so people start realizing that you are the one doing all the work. After you have learned all you can start looking for another position whereyou can be the boss.

hello sjvg, If i feel that my boss has lesser knowledge and I feel I am a better than...guess I will submit my CV to the higher level and apply for his position Seriously, maybe few bosses are really acting like they know it all,but they're also weaker in some areas and we feel that we are better. There is always a right time for everything,who knows if you show your best,one day you will see yourself in your boss's position jaiho®

I think there must be a lot of boss like this in the world. They have high position or become boss simply because they have encountered someone who helped them a lot like their parents. However, I think you should pretend to be less capable. Otherwise, your boss will find you threatening and fire you. Remove him at approprieate time and what you have to do is just to wait for the chance. I am sure you can get his position or even higher if you are clever. Remember also, you have to know who to use and who can help you with this because a good leader can make good use of people as well.

when i begin to see my work being better than the work my boss does... i don't say anything about it... it just makes me feel good about myself and the work that i do... if a job is worth doing, then it is worth doing right.

I am a student. I have many bosses. They are my teachers. I always feel they are worse than me. Well, I feel frustrated sometimes. But I choose to be positive. After all they are my teachers. The best thing I can do is not to attend the class.
