One of my pet peeves is having someone in a leadership position who simply leads by WillyNillyness. Could I be describing your boss?

Fine Dining
Having just-turned 50, Martin Crum is having an extreme midlife crisis. He is bored beyond belief with his three decade-old job as host of an increasingly unpopular cooking show on a local cable station in New York City. He’s in a sorry state of reflection – depressed by his failure to move up the celebrity ranks, fearing cancellation of his show, is hardly recognized on the street anymore, he hates his graying hair and frumpy appearance as much as his moneyed ex-wife who left him because she considered him a relic a decade ago, and he’s always feuding with the neighbors in his apartment building.

My Unsung HeroRunner-Up in Father's Footprint Challenge
