What you must be deliberating on is how to protect your sanity. And you do that by staying aloof from him.

I guessed he must have been told about regulating his anger issues before. But you know, adults hardly change.

Till you exit from his company, just do your exact job duties. Don't do more; don't do less. Don't even try to please him. Don't act like a coward.

Thanks.

As the topic says, how can you work under an hectic boss?

My boss is so nice but goddamn that man's so hectic with jombo size anger issue... His temper's so short to the extend that asking him a statement you don't understand twice might trigger his anger and once his angry his staffs'd dress back cos his hand might land on your face unaware.

Yesterday this man bought 25ltr of fuel and told me to give his brother 10ltr and filled the gen with the remaining, which i did. I started work 5:am this morning only for this man to called on phone to give one of his bus 5ltr of fuel from the 'keg' so i was like which of the keg actually and that's it, this man begin dey para ontop of his voice. After giving the 5ltr to the bus, this bus no gree reach filling station then my boss started again with so much noise "go and off the gen rn. I can stop you from working and lotta words" for work of 28k monthly from 4am to 12am midnight with hard labour. I'm sick and tired of everything.
Can someone tell me what to do?
So in what way is he nice paying you 28k salary?

If a boss raise him voice I raise my voice back...99 percent of salary work/wages in nigeria is slavery cos the take home can't take u home u have to cut corners orfleece the same boss. Some amount I see as monthly wages in nigeria annoys me to my bone..
Even if u work for someone alway think what next lesson from a general who is also a father figure come to think of it should be our default state of mind..save 20 to 50 percent Nd manage the rest then think use it to open a side hustle u will be amazed overtime it might even pay u more than your job.

Dealing with people with anger issues is usually a tricky business.

Ideally, hot temper and tantrums are qualities you see in babies and little kids but sadly adults also have failed to embrace the virtue of patience and self control

The best way to deal with such people is to tiptoe around them.

Give them a lots of space.

Start working on getting another job.

Vamoose when the new job arrives.

Anger is a counterproductive vice that destroys anything in its wake.

If you like him, begin to pray for him.
Anger lies in the belly of fools.

Only God can deliver one from Anger. Anger destroys a lot.
I perceive he's frustrated by a lot- probably home challenges, business challenges, etc.

If you can, try as much as possible to avoid him when he's throwing his tantrums.
I'll suggest you start working on getting another job. If you're single, it's still easy for you to quit.

On the positive side, working under such a boss will build your self-control and tolerance.
You'll be able to handle and cope with any one.
Also if you're able to know what he wants and get it done the way he wants, he'll value you so well.
So always, try to get clarity on what he wants and how.

A (wo)man who cannot control their spirit is like an open gate for any spirit to enter.
Anger is not necessarily a sin but what he causes people to do.
People and situation of things especially in Nigeria can always get one angry, but we have to learn self-control.
I've even come to find, what was meant to provoke me most times is actually a situation for me to allow the wisdom of God to prevail and proffer solution.

Good luck and Grace to you and may God have mercy on your boss.

The biggest problem I have with Nigerian staff is that they speak English but they do not really understand English. I find myself having to ask them “what did I say?” After any instruction to ensure they understand what I said.

Unfortunately, we’ve raised a lot of people who don’t truly understand English and there is a communication problem. There is a reason why foreign universities ask Nigerians to take English proficiency tests despite being supposedly an English speaking country.

My advice to you is to repeat any instructions as you understand it to your boss to confirm you are on the same page

When they start with their anger issue,you have to give space and be quiet for them
Mash'Allah! Nice one OP from Marynwachukwu21 but given space does not mean you should leave their presence like as if they're chasing you but whenever he start be quite, do not look into his eyes and say "sorry sir", remember, do not repeatedly say it but in a coded way.

You say he is nice and pay you 28k per month and have anger problem ?

This combination is not good enough.

If he has anger problem and pays very good salary, i will take it and endure.

i can't take 28k /month and still endure anger. No sir, look for another job.

This is exactly what I'm facing at work. Relatively high pay, free lunch, allowances from time to time but the man has a very terrible character, gets angry at the slightest provocation, you dare not ask him any question or tell him to repeat himself, work sometimes begin at 4am and we sometimes close around 10pm, we deal with fuel also. But I've found a solution though

Just learn the job, be the very best in it that they can't do without you after then when kasala burst, scatter ground.
I remember when I burst Abbey mouth at work because of a disagreement and they gave me 2 weeks suspension. 3 days later, they sent driver with oga motor to come pick me up at home cos machine spoiled and no one knows how to fix it. That was the end of the suspension.
PS: it worked for me, might not work for you oh.
