    Lads

    A bit of advice or opinions.

    I work for a company, very successful company.
    Work in brilliant, different projects, use of a lot of technologies, given free reign to develop the software to our own ideas, up to a point.
    Now, the problem we are having is the head of dept is a right cnt, a power tripper who is over 35 engineers of different disciplines.
    Problem is she is mental, she screams at engineers, she watches everything we do, gives people brutal reviews, knocking down their scores due to "phone manner"
    She has people in such a way that most people just want to leave, but why should people be forced out of a job because of a pri*k
    Has anyone any experience with this type of "management"

    Assuming that everyone in the office feels the same then get everyone to sign a complaint against her and nominate someone to deliver it ot her boss - you will need someone to liaise with top management about this (possibly the longest serving staff member). This woman may be percieved totally different by her superiors which is why you would need to inform them. Top management don't like upset workers as it can lead to less time on the golf course.
    If you don't have everyones support (in your office) for this I would doubt that it would be taken as seriously by top management.

    if oyu cant go the route of having am informal chat with her/her boss, then you will have to talk to HR.
    you dont have to make it an official thing, but you can have an 'infomal chat' with one fo your HR managers.

    be very careful though. talk to her boss at least once. if you all feel the same, make sure you choose someone with the neccessary skills to put into words wha they person does to cause upset. going in and shouting 'shes a cúnt' will not help your cause. someone who is good with words, and can use plain simple english and gets the message accross and who is accurate is more important.
    id be good :)
    i used to be a shop stewerd for SIPTU :)

    then i discovered that the working class are scum, and its better to be in withthe real money earners ;)

    but seriously, talk to her boss first. if you go to HR, then they may see it as a threat, and the fact that people think he/she is not doing their job.
    and you dont want to be in the line of fire if that shít hits the fan.

    keep it causal until you can no longer, and then you will have to make an official comlaint to HR with management present.
    at that stage, you are in warning mode, and the boss will not appreciate recieving a warning, or being under investigation.
