can he do this.....

I've worked for loads of people like this and I know where you are coming from!

I think the idea of suggesting a meeting to discuss workloads would be beneficial in lots of ways....make it a pilot meeting and then push for it to be regular....say ot could be good for morale/ efficiency etc...sad thing is that this guy sounds like he needs to be shown how to be a good boss.

Confrontation will end in tears and upset and at best a feeling of "why didn't you say so earlier?" at worst it could be terminal.

Suggest the softer approaches first and take it from there.

thanks so much guys - 2 of us discussed the 360 degree feedback thingy too, we've found some info on the internet and going to see if he's interested in letting us do it
