SSpeter: My brother I feel u die!!! Pray for a multinational company! God still answers prayers!! Working in a one man business is what I don't pray for someone with my own experience...those one man biz ogas are silly I swear!!! If they don't insult u everytime,they harrass u by saying'i will sack, I will sack u".. During my trying period working in a one man biz,a lawyer for that matter,i had to quit the job myself Cos I couldn't stand him,he begged for me to come back but I told him I would come back only if he increases my salary X2..which I know he wouldnt...hahaha ..Although it wasn't easy cos I was jobless for a year and eight months sha ,all the offers I got were not what I wanted but kept trusting God for a multinational company..and God was faithful and answered my prayers!!! So keep trusting and applying and no keep am to urself,u never know who can help... 1 Like |

You boss had already seen your draft, so his presentation was based on that and his experience. You should have been more tactful in presenting your argument. From your comments here, most likely if the reverse was the case your reaction will be the same if not worse.Why do you think your own idea is better than his? 2 Likes |

You surely acted like an infant for telling him there in the presence of others of your own view. He owns the company and for him to be getting contracts from such reputable companies.Hold your views and if there some things you observed, you should have gone back to him to ask for clarification or ask others. |
Re: How I Got Belittled By My Boss... by andyanders: 8:25pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
InvertedHammer: Exactly. In fact, op need to check if he actually went to school. How dear you start questioning your boss in the presence of his staff. If he felt to add anything, why not go to him in person in his office to tell him of his own views. |

There are more appropriate ways to communicate to your boss than the direct confrontation style you used. Effective communication is an integral part of professionalism. I would recommend some days of communication training. You are the one who belittled your boss by asking him a question that makes him look incompetent. He may know things that you do not know. For instance, apart from the technical aspect, he knows more about the regulations regarding such work which might not be obvious to you. Again, after years of experience and mistakes, some things come naturally. Do you know how many mistakes he has made by following your method of solving the problem? Leave pride and ego so that you can learn. 2 Likes |

SSpeter: U bleeped up, u wan tell your boss say u sabi pass am. U showed him the initial plans, he applauded u by saying "great." Now he gave the architect another instructions, that is his firm, his company,his reputation. He might be wrong, but tryng to correct him in public shows how mannerless u are. What happened to meeting him one on one and then explain to him your observations? He would have listened to and call back the architect to make amends, but u wanted to show everyone your over sabi, then your boss simply put you in your rightful position. Passing six is not passing sense. 1 Like |

SSpeter: Most people on this thread are of the opinion you should not have criticized your boss in public. Can we be all wrong? You are just too stubborn. You may also struggle in a multinational with the same attitude. 2 Likes |

IMO, I think you are wrong for correcting him, if I were you, I would have asked him to explain the method he used, that its kind of confusing and you'd like to know why its the most preferred for the plan. I think thatsa better way of correcting him other than pointing out his mistake 1 Like |
