Have you ever feel helpless in your life ?

it is indeed very difficult to have an evil boss! but hey! you are not alone. millions of people around the globe has been in your shoes. i too have been a victim. instead of wallowing in misery, stand up and be firm. do not be afraid to stood your ground. do your job well. if he insults you on petty things, take this as a challenge to exert more effort. if he insults you wihtout any reason, then let it pass. remember, YOUR BOSS is the problem NOT YOU,, so LIVE and be MERRY..

I am sorry to hear that you have an evil boss. Your boss does not pay attention to talent personnels; Therefore you should change job and cater to a boss who is generous. The salary is concerned by all the people. So you should ensure that it is proper that you could accept.

Hey ivan, I had a similar boss in my last job in Australia. She, yes a female, I wouldn't call her a lady; Well, she didn't give me salary increases in line with others, and held back on bonuses. Then one time she made me so mad she blamed me for something she had neglected to act upon, and that was the last straw. I drafted a memo to the CEO, informing him of the problems between her (The CFO) and myself. Well, the weak CEO didn't even reply to my email. Six months later, the company outsourced everything, and only four personnel were not made redundant. I only had to suffer eight years before I would have had a nice retirement egg, but now I'm really struggling to make ends meet on a miserable pension. She is still with the company, it's reformed on the same structure as before, albeit with more staff, and less turnover. I don't know if this helps your situation, but there may be someone in your organisation you can confide in. Take care, and if the worst comes to the worst, well there's always another job.

If I were you, I would quit the job. A boss that would not only ruin my career but also my passion for future. I think it's time to make a breakthrough and start a new life. That's just my opinion. Best wishes.^_^

Yes, when I left my last company 2 years ago, I thought that I will get another job very easily but you won't believe that I was finding jobs for the next two years and I didn't get selected in any of the companies at all. My family was loosing money due to recession and we lost around a lack rupess and I couldn't do anything with that but to see money slipping out of our hands. I felt really bad. Now, I have to come back to the same company again and do the same job which I hated a lot!

i exactly felt the same way when i was given the task to take care of my siblings as well as of the house and my kids/hubby while my parents are away. During this moment, I was always being scold at and they insult me for being strict or being too trying hard. There was even once that i tried to kill myself. But my husband talk to me about it and he explained that no matter what life will always be unfair. I just have to believe in myself that I am doing my best and things will be okay. I don't have to mind others for I can be of great help to them even if they don't appreciate it. Probably with you, that's what you had to do. Just believe that you can do things ur way and that nothing is impossible if you believe in yourself and just don't mind them.

Right now, I am feeling very helpless in my job. I am working in this office for the past ten years so you can well imagine my comfort level here. I don’t want to change jobs right now and the pay wont be good either…I know coz I have checked with a few other companies. Now the situation is such that when I joined this company, I had to do about 8 jobs and so was quite busy and appreciated by the management. Gradually however, as the company grew, new people came in and newer technologies developed with the result that right now I am left with only two insignificant job profiles. On the other hand, over the years my salary has increased significantly with the result that I am drawing quite a good amount while doing very little work. The management has not really sounded the warning bells as they are loathe to replace somebody who knows so much about the company’s area of work and I have always been known as a very dependable employee in diverse situations but I can get the feeling that I wont be able to continue long this way. I have spoken to people about my job profile and how to improve it but nothing really has come out of it. So I am just waiting for the days to pass and for something positive to happen. I dont know how long you are in this company or what you age is....if possible, start looking for another job.

I have felt helpless alot of times in my life also and still do at times. I will never give up on my hopes and dreams though. Everything is going alright for me and my family right now and I hope it continues to do so.

Feeling down sometimes is very natural to human beings. But if someone else is the reason for you being down then its time to think of remedies which can be good to you and also your family. Since you have mentioned that your boss is very cruel and does not miss an opportunity to insult you I would like to point out certain things which might give you a different perspective and might help you come out of it. Have you thought of going for a new job. In this time of economic recession it is difficult but yet you must think of it. Try upgrading your skills by doing some workshops in your field of expertise. Sometimes telling your boss that you don't like being insulted in front of everyone is the best way to get rid of it. This must be done in front of everyone so that even your boss understands how you feel when such a thing happens. Of course, its easier said than done. But you surely have to give it a try. Insulting usually happens with mediocre people. I am not saying you are mediocre but try to gain expertise in a certain field where no one can match you. You definitely are good at something and that is why you are still is this job. So find you where you can grow and grow to such an extent that your company cannot part with your services. One more thing is that no matter what others think of you or say about you, what matters is what you think of yourself. YOU ARE A UNIQUE PERSON. If you don't believe me ask your parents and your close ones. Think of your achievements in all these years. They may be trophies or any certificates or anything. If you can see them physically it really helps. I am a player and this practice has always helped me to get my confidence back whenever I am down. I just go through my certificates and trophies I have won in these years. All the best to you.

this economy has made me feel helpless and also angry,it robbed my son of a job,got us evicted,broke up myfamily of' myself and my adult son, and landed me in a place I would'never have gone voluntarily. an assisted living place for retirees paid out of my social security and ssi checks and wouldnt I want to be ' back in an apartment again with my son and have him once more working,oh yes I still feel helpless like why me, what'did I ever do to deserve this? I would love to help youget rid of your problem, maybe we can help each other.

Oh so sorry to hear..you have your rights to defend your rights..keep fighting..

I felt frustrated when i broke up with my boyfriend in 2007 and got a bad job a year later. I worked as a teacher`s assistant for a course owned by a Korean..I work from Monday until Saturday and no overtime..after a month, i resigned and back again a \s freelance teacher..Why don`t you move?have you applied for another job?

I'd suggest to start looking for another job. The last thing you want in your career is a prejudiced boss that is hampering your growth in career. Times are hard enough in recession and we all want to perform to our potential to keep our jobs but this boss of yours will deliberately overlook your good work making you very frustrated. Go somewhere else even if they pay less you will have your peace of mind. Don't waste your time with losers.

Some people are very bad and insult every one,but this people don"t have a good live

hello there ivan,I too have been there and it was last year when it started and was at its eworse.I suddenly got very sick and was in the hospital most of the year last year..I never got to see my son that was 6 because he wasnt aloud in the CCU rooms..i was also about 2 hrs away in one of the hospitals and even if he was aloud it was hard to find someone that would have brought him all that way for just a little bit of time.anyways i missed him,my family my friends and i was dying and there was nothing i could do.And it didnt help that i was and still am on oxygen and and a breathing machine..and im only 36 years old..about the end of the year i found the man i was engaged too was trying to kill me for my money,and even though i got better after he left i never got totally better.But at least now I am at home with my son and everyone that i love..and i dont feel as hopeless.

I can understand what you are going through. Even when I started my career as a theater artist, I felt the same way. Everybody trashed me, stamped me under their foot, made fun of me and spat on me with this egotism and arrogance, and I would just be standing quietly and facing everything. But I didn't lose courage and stood my ground for 8 years, but it took me a while to gain some respect and recognition. But my suggestion would be, just work hard and be sincere and don't expect anything right now. Instead, keep realizing your strengths and as you gain experience just look for better opportunities. There isn't much you can do when your boss is so evil and arrogant. But rather just keep quiet, and look for a better job if you can't handle it anymore. Happiness is more important, and if this doesn't help you, try moving on to something better.

I would play a tape when he's dosn't know about it and then yell him to stop or else he be sorry and don't say why just let him wonder whats up and then if he keeps it up report him to the boss thats over him.{GOOD LUCK} don't let him know about tape. cd

sometimes you think you have got the stuff,sometimes you think you are hard enough,but sometimes you cant make it on your own,i didnt mean to quote lyrics but it's just proper here. in your case i suggest you firstly go to show your manfulness that can make you become the stronger one between you two,and you should seek your friends around you for asistance

yes,i felt helples before.but i never wanted to die and ge ride of some problems.i have to raise my daugher by myself.my ex-husband has many excuse don't want to help.but i try to work hard and get more money by myself.i think it is fair in life.it depend on how you think

If u are not happy with ur work anymore and u think its never gonna work out good for u then find another job. But u have to take into consideration that its very difficult to find work anywhere in the world nowadays. Feelings helpless wont help u...always think positive and look for better opportunities in life.
