Today, at a staff meeting, our boss sighed and asked why I'm always in the meetings instead of my co-worker. I reminded him that it's because I'm the department supervisor, not my co-worker. He wouldn't believe me until he saw it for himself in our personnel files. FML

Your boss is either disorganized, has a bad memory or is just an idiot

Looks like you're gonna get far with your company.

or maybe OP doesn't require his boss to be there every step of the way, and that's why his boss forgot who he was.

Sounds like you need to step up to the plate and be more assertive! If you're a supervisor, act like one :)

He needs to know his employee stand points better Props for showing up though

I'm sorry, OP, but there's no winning in this situation. Because of my job I've been studying a lot of companies and their employees... If your boss believes that your co-worker is supervisor, this belief will become reality. It matters why he had this belief only so you know how to avoid it in the future: your co-worker used social-engineering to appear to be supervisor, or your co-worker is confident and people think he's a boss because of his confidence, or your boss likes your co-worker very much and a supervising position would bring them closer. There, now you have it. Use it wisely.

Wtf #51? Are you a therapist? The dipshit boss doesn't have an org flow chart. Probably a Walmart anyway.

Couldn't you just have used the reply button?

wow...u r hidious and a supervisor..way to go... and I can definitely see your boss is lame...

watch the people that are in charge and you'll realise that the stupid people in this world are in the highest position. I still don't understand how it works but that's how it works. don't take it personal owners and bosses/managers are complete ******* morons. iq and common sense doesn't mean anything anymore. dumb people should be put down like stray dogs. I hate this politically correct world

I'm guessing your co-worker has been scamming him somehow and he can't admit to himself that he's been fooled. Don't sweat it.
