My boss is terrible, just simply incompetent and a bad hire. Everyonein the comoany knows it, does not respect him, and yet the company policy is to wait for people to ask to leave instead of firing them. This said, while I can’t leave the job (for the money), i am stuck with him.

What do you suggest is my best bet in dealing with him? Afterall, he dictates my merit increases and has the final say on my performance.

Skip level meetings...you need to create a relationship with his manager to make sure his incompetence isnt mistaken for yours...

Thank you so much!

You may not be able to leave right away. But you can at least start the process by applying to other jobs.

If everyone is having the same experience/impression with this person then it is known, so try not to make waves, focus on your job, adding value where you can, and documenting where there is conflict. If you are ever asked for feedback (don’t solicit it) be professional and fair - -your company sounds passive aggressive when dealing with conflict so no sense generating any negative press that would cause you discomfort. My boss was horrible and had limited understanding and experience of my functional area so trying to be proactive or going above him (skip level) when there was conflict, just made things worse. My impression of him was not the sane as the senior leaderships, so he ignored my feedback / needs and I was eventually labeled disgruntled and insubordinate.

In response to OM1, have set it as a goal to find this person in the next month, by reaching out to new folks, including the ones who interviewed me when i was hired (assuming those have some responsibility for my misfortune afterall). Thanks for reaffirming there is potential going this route.
