Consider the following statement from Alice, a project engineer at Supreme Electronics: I report directly to Neil. He is one person who has the uncanny ability to stretch the truth. He selectively remembers things and uses his selective memory to nullify agreements or change things. On a proposal we submitted to a customer, we spelled out that a particular key team member would be leaving the project after two weeks, and Neil altered it to make it look like he would be running the whole thing. Another time, he cited his ability to develop people as the reason there was a high turnover rate in the department. In fact, most employees jump at a chance to transfer to other departments or to leave the organization. Not long ago, during a department meeting, my boss was talking about the importance of mental toughness. To illustrate the point, he told us about how he had played football in college against some greats who later played in the NFL. A co-worker got a copy of the schools media guide, and nowhere in the All- Time Roster List was our bosss name. When the co-worker confronted him, he said we had misunderstood. The guy is a compulsive liar. Im locked into this job and cant afford to leave. Ive repeatedly tried to transfer out of the department, but while my boss tells me to my face that hell support my efforts for advancement, Ive found out that he continually stonewalls my requests. With the current economic situation, I cant find work using my SKAs that would pay me near what I am earning here. I cant afford to leave! Data indicates that 85 percent of current (2013) are considering leaving the organizations they work for. If you were Alice, how bad would the job situation under supervisor Neil have to get before you would seriously consider taking a job with less responsibility and for less pay?.
