What would you tell your boss if you knew they couldn’t sack you?

Say what you like with full job security guaranteed…

Dear boss: People don’t respond to you on calls because, when they do, you don’t listen - you just shout over them. You’re not actually interested in an explanation; you’ve just decided they’ve got it wrong and you want to rant/yell.

And on the subject of the ranting and yelling - you’re becoming the boy who cried wolf. Everyone expects it now, so we just ride it out knowing it will be something else tomorrow. But when something really serious eventually does happen, people won’t take it seriously enough, because they’re used to you making mountains out of molehills. And you’ll have a lot of work to do to make them realise it actually is a mountain this time.

Stop inventing new things for us to do, just let us get on with our already massive and varied workload. It feels like you're just inventing new things to give yourself something to do because actually your role is pretty redundant 90% of the time. You are working a 5 day week when your role only takes one if you stop inventing annoying new shit that no-one else has time to do.
