I ask this because being a senior I assume I have reached the point in my career the rotten apples are weeded out but I am truly wrong for assuming that. My leader may have been promoted congratulations that does not make you a leader. If you do not know your job no matter if your a PVT or SGM be not espect respect. I will give you Military but personal respect is earned.

If you have this conversation the right way, I would hope that this leader would take away from it things to improve on or consider changing.  But it's easier said than done, that's for sure. Never forget that you learn just as much (if not more) from bad leaders as you do good ones.

"YOU ARE THE WORST LEADER I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY CAREER" Copy and paste that in an email to them. I am joking. No need to tell them just learn from their mistakes and that will make you a better leader yourself.

If I ever find myself working for you, I'll remember this tidbit. Lol. 2nd part is the best way I've learned to deal with it.

Could not agree with this more! I have found in my (*cough*) years in, that you will learn just as much from bad leaders than you will from great ones. You learn what NOT to emulate. Critical lesson in itself.
