some bosses are just too bad and some too nice

asylum what i was putting across is some bosses go out of their way to be mean and nasty irregardless of what you do. i had a boss who relied on me to do for her reports plus i controlled most of the operations in the office and she relied so much on me but this is still the person who turns and is nasty to you,back stabbing and hurting your feelings .its not an issue of work its just a personality thing where the boss decides to be a good or bad person.

Yes, I understand exactly what you are referring to pomwango. The quality of your work and the commitment to give to the company is not always what the boss actually sees and realises. An excellent employee can be misconstrued as poor by the boss while a lazy or useless employer is considered valuable, which is what I was intending to convey. I do agree that the standard of work is not the only factor in each case. The position of being in charge carries a lot of responsibilities, which includes a level of responsibility to behave appropriately towards other members of staff. Sadly this is not always the case and too many bosses will always consider others as unimportant.

thats true,and i think labour laws should be stern o some of this issues they dont consider important.

Hi,its not that you go out of your way to piss off a bad boss there are those who will find fault in whatever you do since they are just out to spoil your day,i agree there are the wonderful type who will keep encouraging you and correct you in a nice way.i agree either gender can be good and bad but my personal experiences ladies are more prone to be mean especially to lady staff.

you are lucky enjoy it while it lasts and hope you will always find nice bosses the make the work place worth being in.

Hi agrim94, i am sure the bad management caused the stalemate in the office.you can still be a head and also be nice to people being a nice boss doesnt mean people wont work.i am a lady and i know lady bosses are harder to work with and the good lady bosses are able to have work done very well, people tend to have energy to perform in a happy enviroment.there are also male bosses too very nasty but if they could understand working with staff happy means easier management and better output.

true,there some bosses who even behave as sweet as our parents and this are wonderful people,for the users ...if they only knew they would have an easier time being nice.

very sorry Bluebell,i think women have issues too,they dont reason fairly but instead behave like its a competition.i had a lady boss who hated it when you came to work looking smarter than her or with your hair made up,she would be extra nasty on such days and you wonder why she cant appreciate the good work you are doing,yet she wants you to be within her work force.

seems you have had it nice and if you get a boss who responds to your crying you are lucky.one bad boss i encountered actually screamed at my colleague she can go die instead of shading tears.so if you have considerate people of your feelings be happy.

thanks asweetie,i agree you need to be firm to control the staff but firmness should not be abusive and such, go through the discussions and see how some people have bosses that hurl items.a good firmness would help produce results and also maintain a good work place balance plus earn the boss respect.

i think so too men bosses are much better and dont have issues like jealousy and petty things.lady bosses tend to have lots of mood swings and attitude problems.

thanks airasheila, i think if people controlled personal moods to would be nice, no point taking out my problems on other people if anything its spreading more negative energy.

yeah,its all about a persons personality.i think when you look at it whether man or woman they can be good or bad.the back stabbing is bad, better an open nasty boss than one who smiles and then stabs you in the back.thanks for sharing.

its just about some individuals,though many people i think find lady bosses tougher to deal with.i think its mean of that boss,throwing things around can be humiliating.

does such a boss make you feel like quitting?do you feel like he has you permanently stressed?when i had a very nasty boss this were the thoughts in my head all the time.

it doesnt mean people with bad bosses are bad workers its just that some bosses have no human heart,why snap at someone ,shout,throw things,be abusive and this is an adult you can correct properly and talk sensibly to.
