Nearing the Edge

What do you do when the most inept person in the whole shop is the owner/VP of the company?

Every little thing is a boondoggle. Let's just say technologically challenged.

Mommy.... help

I would also suggest rummaging around RE:Print on print planet here: RE: Print - PrintPlanet.com

Here's a sample:

I was considering suicide.

Too harsh perhaps?

Probably, I have been there. It took a few months but I eventually found another job that made me less suicidal. But then they bought a PROTOTYPE machine, now I'm back to looking again. I hate prototypes!

i quit the last job where I felt the boss was inept. Then I spent the following year unemployed lol

I worked as a manager of a pre-press house, outputting film for printers and also producing some digital printing, when my boss decided to become a printer, that film was going the way of the dinosaur.

The minute he became a printshop owner, he turned into the most horrible man I'd ever met. Suddenly, prepress should only take two hours a day, I was the dumbest human being on the planet, and all employees received memos almost weekly telling them how stupid we are (no, no face-to-face) - all this after he'd been such a lovely man.

I now work in an in-house copy center environment where my boss admits that she knows nothing and counts on me to make us look good by getting new equipment, keeping up on the latest and greatest and keeping our in-house customers happy - piece of cake.

I came close to ODing at the previous place, so this is a very, very nice improvement.
