Got in an argument with my boss today over an email I sent calling out a quality engineer for not following proper procedure when submitting his request form. He told me I should apologize because he thought it sounded 'condescending'. I started getting anrgier the more I explained why I took that stance.
This quality engineer has been with the company for years, and submitting these requests the entire time - anywhere from 50-100 per year, and without fail, likely half of them are submitted with various mistakes that make my job twice as difficult and wastes hours of my time every month. I was trying to explain that this wasn't a one-time incident, and that I'm sick of having to tell (all of the quality engineers) that they need to follow the written departmental procedure when submitting them. How many times should I have to repeat it? 5? 10? 50? I've been repeating it to 6-8 engineers consistently for 6-8 years at least now.
Another reason I got so mad is that I can't get my boss to follow our procedures either, and when I try to enforce them, his typical response is "It's not that big a deal". I'm angry because not only does he not support me in addressing this issue, but he flat-out dismisses my concerns, and by doing so, dismisses me as an employee.
I think he's worthless as a supervisor. He doesn't go to bat for anyone in our department, whether it's something like this, or about our budget, or annual reviews or raises, or anything. I don't know how long I can take working with him. Right now, I'm so burnt out from today's stress that I want to avoid everything & everyone, including talking to my coworkers. I can't see this ever improving unless he or I find(s) another job, and that thought is really depressing me right now.
Right now, I don't want anything to do with anyone, I just want to disappear.
