Answer 1

Treat him as you would your grandfather. NO matter what his age or experience, he is still your manager. That is one thing that will keep you in line for his job! DO NOT IGNORE his orders! But, make sure that you do not mess up in the work that you are performing by completely following the orders given without telling him why. You are definitely going to move up with your company if you learn some tolerance. That may be the reason that you are taking orders from someone that is below your ability in that job. Just keep a straight face and teach him as you would your children WITHOUT embarrassing him. It will all work out in the end... Have a wonderful holiday!

I think your right. If the people above him agree with you, why listen to the dope. Prove your self and document the things you do so he can not steal your work.
I know some of how you feel. My boss is so stupid, I hate it when he asks me simple stupid questions that I think a 10 yr old could answer like how do I spell.... Anyways its to bad he's the only boss in this stupid company. Good luck to you!
