well, if he has done "hard work" and enough of it to become a manager, you have one of two situations on your hands.
1. this guy is not so clueless as you imagine, and simply rubs you the wrong way. It may be that your skill set lies completely out of his scope and therefore when he butts in on your turf he is at his worst - at your expense. This is unfortunate. If this is so, then footpad's (very, very wise) advise above will handle the problem until he is your manager. At that point, you'll need to frankly and openly confront him. You cannot have a manager you feel this way about and be happy. You will need to change the dynamic of your relationship. 2. this guy is really an idiot in all respects and the company is showing a bad trend by promoting him. All too often, the best sign that a company is having problems is that it is promoting the stupid and inept. In this case, you'll need to take some drastic options into consideration. I faced this situation once and, suffice to say, I am not reporting to that person. hope that helps...
