This for sure. I really enjoy what I do (I’m the lead coffee roaster for a decently-sized company). My direct boss is a wonderful human and knows how to manage people properly. Most of his power was taken away by his boss who has no people skills whatsoever and thinks he’s the smartest person in the room when it comes to operations and “efficiency”. If my boss ever leaves I’ll have to work under this douche. This guy has dismantled a lot of the systems put in place to run our order fulfillment with speed and accuracy that my boss had created. It’s so infuriating to watch. His power and authority is unchecked, and the owner relies on him so much because the owner is just the face of the company. I keep on looking for something else but my job is not the most common one out there, and I don’t want to work for a company that sends out shitty-ass, low quality stuff.
