How To Deal With A Nagging Or Angry Boss by careercrew1: 3:57pm On Jul 25, 2016
Are you currently employed and having issues with your boss or employer’s angry mood? Does your boss yell at you and sometimes call you names in the mist of your colleagues? Does it look like whatever you do is never appreciated? Bosses can be moody, one minute they are cheerful, the other minute they are erupting like a volcano and you can’t precisely tell the cause of his/her anger.

Well, this article will address this how to cope with an angry boss in your place of work, so sit down and read through.

Don’t blame yourself:
When your boss suddenly shouts at you or gets angry easily with whatever task you have done, don’t assume that he/she is mad at you. Your boss is human, just like you and definitely have his/her shortcomings. He might be having some personal issues at home, which is not being managed properly, thereby letting the issue impact his/her mood and performance in the office.
Don’t let it work you up, be positive and remain calm.

Avoid getting angry too:
Let’s imagine, work is going on smoothly and all of a sudden, your boss starts complaining about how you all aren’t meeting your set targets, how goals are not achieved, how you all are nonchalant and not productive. Yes, we have seen this scenario a lot of times, don’t let it weigh you or other team members down and don’t get angry and worked up too, rather try to be dynamic and motivate other team members to be calm and positive in their mindset. Remember, when your boss is down and the whole team is down, then your boss will eventually be justified in his claims that you all are not productive.

You can try to address the issue with your boss:
Here, effective communication between you and your boss matters. Once you noticed that your boss’ is fuming about a particular task not meeting the specific deadline thereby affecting you and the entire team members directly, you can approach him/her in a calm and gentle manner to address the is. Make sure your boss has calmed down after the outburst, then you can relate with him/her informing how his current outrage is affecting the team negatively, however, assuring him that the team will put in their best to meet the company’s target

Be silent and never react facially or emotionally.

Imagine him as child and try to treat him as a son

Start searching for a job cos when you do the above mentioned, he did be processing on your termination papers....

Many of these authoritative pple RESPECT competent people that are firm and bold with them, not the 'yes sir', 'I'm sorry sir' type.
I just feel you shouldn't be a slave to anyone. Be competent, bold, yet very respectful regardless of which kind of boss ure dealing with.

Insult him back #in your mind#
Look at his big head, his ugly face, his deep accent,

Just imagine all the useless things you can tell him about him and just smile deep down

I agree with the OP only to the extent that you trust your ability otherwise it's really hard to put up with sloppy, lazy and outrightly incompetent subordinates. If you've never been in the federal civil service, you may never understand how tortuous it is to be saddled with dunces with neither a sense of urgency nor of duty.

It's only in Nigeria. That shiit won't fly in a normal country. Employees are more powerful there. In Nigeria, there is no difference between a slave and an employee. Employers have this illusion that they can do with the employee. Wrong mentality.
