I work for a well known entity in the healthcare industry which divides it subordinates into districts and assigns regional managers to jurisdictions drawn up by a corporate team. Recently these district lines were redrawn and my old district manager has been replaced by an absolute tyrant, who shall henceforth be referred to as Napoleon. Napoleon's job is to oversee the retail aspect of my boss' job and, by extension, my job.
Napoleon is a freakish bureaucrat. If your name tag has a shortened version of your name, if he doesn't like your shoes, if you have to stay for overtime, you get written up--three times equals termination. He loves writing people up, typically doing so at least three times during a routine visit. Being that I am an integral member of the team, I often find myself staying in overtime to ease the workload. This, coupled with my refusal to display my full name or abide by a dress code, spells trouble for my relationship with Napoleon.
The other night he called to harass my manager about a trivial market factor over which she has no direct control and he lost his temper, began yelling and caused her to break down in tears. Ever since he took his office, she's been talking about quitting due to his behavior. Now, she's a very sweet lady who really doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. More selfishly, she has made the workplace a much more pleasant environment that it was, directly because of her management style. I don't want her to leave. I know she isn't the only one who thinks he's a problem: other managers falling under his district have also taken issue.
My first idea is to call the other sites falling within his district lines to request that they file a formal complaint. While I doubt there would be much resistance from this effort, I am wary of implicating myself because I have doubts that corporate would take it seriously against his word. I need Napoleon gone, right now. I want to banish him to a little island somewhere so that he can die alone, far away from me. I am willing to step outside of the law to accomplish this if I must. Any suggestions?
Edit: this looked shorter somehow on my iphone. The TLDR is that I want my boss's boss who is a major fucking prick gone and need more creative ideas than simple political violence. Help!
