how to deal with shit managers?

[(Anonymous)]

So we have this terrible manager. Everyone who works there knows he's terrible. The other managers know pretty well he's terrible, but they don't have to work under him so it seems like more trouble to get rid of him than to keep him on. Like, the dude will disappear for 30-50 minutes at a time in the middle of his shift ("I'm just going to go to the back for a minute", leaving me alone for a half hour in a rush...cause no one else is scheduled because with him and me scheduled there is, technically, two of us....),. he calls out a lot, he leaves stuff undone or half-assed and we, the underpaid underlings, have to do both our jobs and his.

I'm mostly just venting, but...what to do? Is there any solution you can think of? Keep in mind the big bosses KNOW he slacks off and don't seem to give a shit...and we get side-eyed for complaining about management.

Do you have a human resources office or equivalent thereof? Sometimes it's easier to go to someone who's outside of the chain of command.

Document everything. Exact times and dates. (Or as close as possible to exact, what with soloing rush hours and tight schedules and you guys redoing his shitty work).

You might not be able to do something about it now, but if the upper management ever want to or are forced to investigate, concrete data will help more just than vague statements.

The only way I was able to solve this one was to move to another department. It took a while, but I was much happier after the move. Could you work on your skill-set in the meantime?

start looking for another job :/

keep a record of what happens. when someone inevitably complains about wait times during rushes, and it comes up in conversations with the big bosses, that's a (relatively) good time to bring it up (as neutrally as possible) if you think it's safe to do so. "it was just [manager] and I, but I'm not sure where he was during most of the rush. did you ask him about it?" or something like that. it might not do much though. bad management backed by bad upper management just sound like a bad management lockdown.

seems like an awful situation and I sympathize.
