    I recently had a meeting with my supervisor, and he was complaining about how a previous meeting ran over time and repeatedly complaining about how some former team members who moved to a different team caused the meeting to run over time because they wouldn’t just agree to do what he asked, but kept arguing with him about why it isn’t a good idea.

    I had to interrupt him to point out that the meeting we were in, in which he was complaining about the previous meeting running over time because of the previous team members, had just run over time, and they weren’t in the meeting this time.

    I don’t think he liked what I said, but he ended the meeting, and that’s what I wanted to happen.

    He did my annual review three days later and complained that I don’t work well with others, and specifically indicated that I don’t work well with him.

    He’s the only supervisor who has ever complained about me in the 36 years I’ve been working.

    We’ve had two people retire last year directly because of him. There is another person who refuses to have a meeting with him unless it is recorded.

      Sounds like your company hired one of my previous managers.

      We routed around him until the company eventually relieved themselves of the dead weight.
