Thank stinks man, what country are you living in? I also am a dreaded "boss", and it sounds like yours is doing it all wrong. My boss, the CEO of our company had everyone read this book Multipliers.
Life changing, I think you'd get a lot of it as well as soon as you open it. Your boss sounds like the classic "diminisher", ironically she is getting less out of you than she would if she were empowering you.
Just because I "like" my boss and job however doesn't change my goals. Personally I've steadily increased my investments and should be able to make my own big leap by 2020.
Good luck, and I agree life is too short to be miserable for 60% of every waking hour!
Thanks for reply. You nailed it on the head when you said "Classic diminisher, ironically she is getting less out of you then she would if she were empowering you". Absolutely agree.
