Unpopular Commander, Commander Non Grata, Hated By His Own Men... No clear idea.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Selfish Commander might also work.
In war, courage. In peace, wisdom. In life, friendship.

I think the essential part is the bad rapport between The Neidermeyer and his/her underlings.

I like Hated By His Own Men.
Want to rename a trope? Step one: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I like that one!

That's three. Redirects are free, right? Should we redirect Hated By His Own Men?
Of course, we keep looking for other redirects.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Well, maybe it just doesn't reflect very much his incompetence, but otherwise, I have no objection either.

Hmmm. I think that's not a requirement:
Emphasis mine. Incompetence is only one possible reason of the bad rapport.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Well, most examples seems to shows that he's really not fit to be in his position, being a Jerkass is just a second requirement (though the Laconic section seems to just show the fact that he's hated).
But as I've stated, I've got no problem with this.

Being unfit for the position would simply be Pointy-Haired Boss IMHO. The hatred is the key.
Rabid Fujoshi
I was under the impression that the big deal is he is so much of a dickish glory-hog that it undermines his ability to be effective because there's low moral, he's doesn't explain anything, and he forces his men to do stupid, suicidal things in order to get recognition.

I see the Awesomeness.
I'd suggest Colonel Fuckwit, but that'd violate our gratuitous swearing rules.
Colonel Load, Colonel Burden, Colonel Irritant all come to mind.
Fight smart, not fair.

Hated By His Own men now a redirect.
I like Colonel Irritant.
Should I add Colonel Irritant as a redirect then? Any other redirect in the proposed ones you feel appropriate?

I like Bastard Boss - it's not the same as Bad Boss or Pointy-Haired Boss, which are merely incompetent, but someone who actively makes his subordinates' lives a living hell.

I'd suggest Cantankerous Colonel, but that's stretching it.

I feel this needs renaming, the trope title is non indicative of the meaning at all, it requires familiarity with a certain film.
It only has 229 inbound, I'm sure it could do better with a better name.
By the powers invested in me by tabloid-reading imbeciles, I pronounce you guilty of paedophilia!
It probably wasn't so useful to add "Colonel Irritant" as an alt-name. Alt-names are for searching. I doubt anyone is going to be searching for The Neidermeyer with the keyword "irritant". Or "Queeg". In the absence of a useful name, add a short clear laconic and ensure main text gives a good overview in the first paragraph.
(We've got both of those in this case.)
The Paedofinder General
Just because it has a laconic and is explained doesn't mean that there should be no attempt to change a bad/non-descriptive name.

229 inbound is well above the norm. That's not a justification for renaming.
132 is the rudest number.
Wait I thought we were doing away with all the "The [name]" titles. Why don't we want this renamed now?

Redirects for The Neidermeyer.
No, I do not want the trope renamed. But none of the redirect are very descriptive. Can we get some to make the page more easy to find?
