Suarez is around that price and is incredible . But Aubamayang is about half the price and amazing as well <| sep |> I hope you escape inceldom m 8 , 5 ' 4 '' it is tough out there my sympathies to you . I admire the fact you have tried approaching , it shows you are not cowardly like most people here . Also I think you should wear elevator shoes to look taller . <| sep |> If I start thinking like this , do you think I ' ll start enjoying pop music more ? <| sep |> I am positive my eyes do not automatically roll back when I close my eyelids . <| sep |> These people tend to usually lack selfawareness unless he was sent in as a disruptive measure ? I ' m just making this statement in the event that his hiring was a result of a recent MA where he is trying to weed out former staff which have the ' know more than you ' attitude . If I could make a recommendation otherwise , I find overwhelming this type of personality with deliverables can make them desire more specific outcomes . So , as an example , they expect a 10 deck slide show that is ' pure excellence ' well , having them at one point or another see 15 or 20 slides you are working on will take time out of their day to micromanage other tasks and be wellinformed as to what decisions you are making . Getting them comfortable enough to see that you know what you are doing is typically the most valuable trait to demonstrate . This trait cannot be told but , rather demonstrated so that they can leave you alone . Especially with higher frequency of consultations to your manager , you can use the socratic method to demonstrate flaws in your managers logic if he ' basically has no clue what he is doing '. Not sure if you ' ve tried this , but I find overwhelming micromanagers peaks their anxiety to focus on more important deliverables or lessfamiliar staff . As for the weird jokes and negative aura , probably worth taking him aside the next time it happens that it may be inappropriate given the corporate culture .
