Work faster

Today, my boss accused me of eyeing for a promotion when I suggested a solution to save our team time by staying on a 2-hour schedule in the mornings. He told me we average 3 hours for our production, but his goal for this area is 90 minutes. FML

they do a task in 3 hours. boss has a goal for 1.5 hours. OP had an idea that might bring it to 2 hours. boss got upset OP might take their job due to finding a possibly fast solution to the task.

It cannot be a good thing to have to work for a boss so insecure that if someone offered a suggestion to improve work efficiency that boss fears they will be replaced. You have a couple of options: (1) Say less and listen more and hope that when boss fails he doesn’t bring you down with him. (2) Keep working but look for another job. The one thing that rarely works well is go go around your boss and talk to upper management or the owner. The problem is they hired your idiot boss and they won’t admit they made a mistake. Plus your boss deals with his boss frequently and your boss’s boss is more likely to believe some lie your boss tells in retaliation.

Can someone explain this another way? I don’t get it.
