In the last 6 months I have worked my butt off. No days off, no holiday, one day off sick due to a painful injury. It's paid off, people like me, I have a pay rise and a possible promotion.
There has been a "shakeup" recently, and for the time being, my supervisor has been chosen for me. If I weren't doing so well at the moment, I would have walked out. This is why.
They spent most of this year away. They barely turned up last Christmas when we were really busy. They get real cushy, part time hours when the phones/e-mails are nice and quiet. They spend half the time sitting in meetings. They habitually don't turn up due to sickness or paid vacation. Nobody likes them.
The sickness and vacation is simply to do with looking after their little girl. They have to play a shuttle game with their distanced partner. There's probably a legal battle somewhere, I don't know. I will butt horns with them because the work I do is too advanced now. And we are going to have a fight.
Now someone tell me if this is heartless. Tell me I am in the wrong. Throw me a bone here.
This person doesn't deserve to be my superior. They don't put the company first. Their work is inferior. They have enough trouble finding a reason to exist let alone offering anything to admire or learn from. They can barely even turn up.
But- the real reason is. It all comes down to that little girl, doesn't it? Somehow, somewhere, the supervisor will work to ensure the little girl gets all the love, at any cost, including me left out in the cold.
And I don't CARE that about that little girl. She doesn't matter to me. What does she give me? What does the relationship of the little girl and their parent offer anything to work - other than taking?
My management has already said that the decision is final. They are already too busy with very deep problems.
I desire to humiliate my hated supervisor in front of the entire office by announcing that this is a piece of crap that just needs to be removed. They are not my superior. They offer nothing to the company, than to be a leech - of money, resource, even identity. And that their dismissal should have been initiated a long time ago.
It sounds dangerous, like it would get me in trouble or something, but many people would thank me for it. They have been deadwood for years. It would be getting rid of an old, stubborn problem that has stuck around for way too long. Nobody will miss them. I'm serious.
But this would hurt the little girl. Despite all the arguments, the pros and cons, this would hurt an innocent girl. So I have come full circle. I can't hurt an innocent.

So tell me. What is right?
Keep doing your job to the best of your ability. If you're unhappy with the work environment, start looking for another job.
FWIW, I don't know of any job were you get to choose your supervisor. So keep that in mind for your next one...
Why your supervisor isn't around is none of your business. Go to work, get paid. If you don't like it, get another job.
If you try to "humiliate" your boss, you'd actually be doing it to yourself, because then you'd have burned a bridge by not being able to use that employer as a reference after they fire you.
i think your user name sums up how i feel about your post..
You don't get to choose your supervisor and being in management isn't about being "superior" - people are leaders or they aren't. If management thought you would be a good leader, they would have promoted you.

Go for it, you will be free from this job and more importantly your company will have cause to can your sorry butt. Nobody would thank you, they would laugh at you as you are being shown the door. In the end you are not important enough to the company for them to accept and act on your personal opinion of your supervisor. Get over yourself and do your work.

Hello Captain obvious, of course it would get you in trouble lol most likely fired and escorted out by security

...it is, and it will. What are you, twelve? Hard to imagine that you qualified for a job with that mentality.
While you may not like the boss, he/she is still the boss. And how that happened is not your business until you become the owner. I don't see that happening.
Management knows the attendance record of the supervisor. It isn't a concern to them. For now, their only concern is that the work gets done, not being overly-particular who does it.
When you accept the offer of a job, you agree to show up on time, prepared to work, and try to be congenial to your co-workers, whether you like them or not. Being a malcontent will not earn you any Brownie points. It might even cause you to lose your position.
When the situation becomes untenable, you start to apply elsewhere. If you find other employment, leave the current place with a smile and good wishes all around - you never know when you'll need something from there.
You need to do your job and try to be cordial. If it bugs you start looking elsewhere but I'm sure management knows about that person and for whatever reason allows it. Maybe they work at home some after they pick up the child. Who knows, but whatever it is your best bet is to stay out of it and do your work.
