A Tech Therapy listener wrote in to Warren Arbogast and Scott Carlson recently to ask what to do about a boss who is, shall we say, out of it.
“What one should do with a boss or supervisor that is out of date, otherwise known as a dinosaur? I have observed mass confusion due to the fact that the ‘manager’ is incompetent and clueless to new technology and terminologies. He orders the wrong equipment and places all responsibility on people other than himself. He refuses to move forward and has been phoning it in since I have worked here….”
The Tech Therapists offer some advice about going to human resources and going over the boss’s head — and they also raise a contrarian point: Maybe your “dinosaur boss” is the boss for a reason.
