My Meticulous Boss

We have a new "boss" (Head Teacher) now. Unlike our previous, she's very meticulous and keen on details. She wants everything to be flawless. She doesn't want any mistakes since she thinks it would boomerang to her leadership. I like to be taught since that would make me a better person. But, these days we are bombarded with countless reports and paper works because of the upcoming school assessment. While everyone else is very busy, she's just in her office doing nothing important since she has already segregated her responsibilities to us. To make things worse, she's always pinpointing our lapses no matter how tiny it is. I am starting to be irritated with her, but what can I do, she's my boss. Sorry for ranting. It's just that, I am about to burst out.

She needs to uplift you, not break you down. If she has criticisms she should also complement what is good!

@LindaOHio I do agree. She's good at complementing, but she's the best in criticizing.

@Janet357 Well, you have a point. The truth is, I am trying so hard to look for another job, but as of the moment I will do my best to just go with the flow.

It seems like she is delegating too much of her work to her employees.

Yes, she does. I hope she won't always do this.

Looks much like a micromanager

So sorry about that. Someone should tell her that you guys aren't comfortable.

@a_jerobon Who would that be? My colleagues prefer to be silent and just follow our boss's every wish. However, they just share their sentiments whenever our boss is not around.
