i appreciate your suggestion and advise.

Totally understand. I was brought on in a supervisory capacity. But because this upset the persons who were here before me, my job was down graded. I have an AR clerk and an A/P clerk that have a higher status than I do. I'm the one with the education and experience, I find the problems, basically I clean up the crap. My boss is a spineless person who talks a good game, but when it comes down to it, he sides with the people that have been here longer. The company is a private one, so the owners treat the long timers with special preferences. If they are happy, then my boss is happy. It makes him look good.

When he has problems, then they are referred to me. I have to pick up his extra work; but only if it goes through him first. Hence the controlling of his exposure. As long as no one sees me in the background he is safe. Been her for 2 years and had no review or raise. Most people do not even know what I do, they assume that I am my bosses grunt and secretarial assistant.

This place is a complete and total joke. I have decided to not waste my time here trying to make a difference. I am going back to school to add to my educational diversity. When I am done I hope to have no 9-5 desk job.

Do yourself a favor and take a look at what it is you want and what steps you need to get there.

Good Luck.

Supervisors often are not as knowledgeable as their subordinates in some areas, especially when the non supervisor does the job every day while the supervisor does not. I once had a boss who was a VP, but when it came to my particular job, she didn't have a clue how to do what I did. But she did have experience and knowledge in many areas that I did not. It is a part of the real working world, you just have to let it go. If you are otherwise happy with your job, stay where you are at. You will just find more of the same in other companies.
