You may be surprised to learn who all your supervisor knows and their level of beholdenness to her, so don't go rushing in to gossip unfavorably about her with anyone. If and when you do pass a remark, make it sound like you are concerned purely for her sake whenever possible. We often get exactly what we want, although, just as often it seems to come disguised? Do you want to get out of the company, or do you want to navigate around your boss? Feelings can he very deceiving. . . this is a dangerous situation you are in, having strong misgivings for the leadership of your boss. Your test here couldn't be any more clear: keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears wide open. |

There's an old saying out of Wharton: the only thing necessary for non-optimized corporate value chains is that good men do nothing. You can't sit on your hands and simply wait for her to be fired.
