What To Do When You Have A Bad Boss by Encoredme(m): 3:19pm On Sep 13, 2021 |
Here are some suggestions that might help reduce the level of difficulty you have when working with your bad boss: 1. Look To Your Own Performance First You might think your boss is being difficult because they are demanding a different level of output from you. Make sure you are clear on what they expect from you. 2. Realize You May Have Opposing Styles You might be expecting something from your boss that they simply can't do. You might think they are unfriendly simply because they fail to say "Good morning." To them, that might simply be a waste of time. Examine your own expectations of what you think they should be doing. They may not be very outgoing or simply operate differently than what you're used to. Reset your expectations. 3. Learn The Boss Spend some time really observing your boss to see what it is they do that is impacting you. In the process, you might learn that they are getting leaned on by their boss and it's creating extra stress. You could discover they aren't a morning person, meaning you should delay important interactions until after lunch. Figure out their rhythms and modify your own. 4. Don't Shrink All too often, when we don't like someone, we go out of your way to avoid them. While I think this tactic can work to keep you under the radar, wait to do that until you clearly have exhausted all of your options. You may also find that more, not less, communication can help you with this type of person. Shrinking away into a dark corner won't help you. 5. Become Indispensable If you've attempted to learn more about your boss, take it to the next level and become an indispensable employee. Focus on using your problem-solving skills and offer your boss additional help and support. This will help them shine to their own boss and also reduce reasons for finding fault with you. You can become the "go-to" person that they respect and depend on. 6. Let It Roll Off Of You We will spend a lifetime running into people that are demanding, critical, and downright volatile. You need to learn the skill of blowing most of it off. Certainly, there will be some of it that will still bother you, but most of the time you can't let it affect you. I'm not suggesting ignoring your boss's needs or demands; I'm saying to not let their method of delivery be what grabs your attention or reaction. I have found that even the most difficult of bosses can be tamed or at least subdued. I once worked for a guy who had even the most senior, sage people in tears. When I started working directly for him, I noticed he was quick to engage in verbal battle. If you stood up for yourself, he backed down. I soon figured out that he tested people. If they backed down, he was relentless. When I told him my observation, he laughed and told me I was the only person who had figured it out. He felt that if you were right about something, you would defend it and if you didn't defend it, he couldn't respect you. It was that simple. It was who he was—good or bad, but we always worked well together—and that's the most important part. If you're dealing with a bad boss, be sure to follow these six tips. When you feel like quitting, just remember you can turn a bad situation around, but it does take work. Source: https://www.workitdaily.com/what-to-do-bad-boss 6 Likes 1 Share |

Resign if you can, but if you can't, be on the hunt for a better job, while still on the job, then move, no time to deal with attitude, when your focus should be making money... 11 Likes 3 Shares |

After you've done all these & he still remains a bad boss, then it's time to look for another boss or become your own boss. 4 Likes 1 Share

Some boss are just toxic. They just want only their family member or state person to be working only. If only they pass through the normal process of getting to the position, but they pass through the means of getting married or being a family member of the CEO. Abusing their power anyhow, sacking and shouting to the staff as they see fit. 1 Like |
