How Long is your patience to a 65 years old manager?

I say that if the job gives you a nice salary and you enjoy the job, then stick with it. As with the old uncle, it is hard to get along with those people at his age. We can never win then over. So maybe just have the "thick skin" and wear some earphones while at work so you wouldn't hear him ranting and say bad words. Well, I just wanna make you smile....

Well, his age alone should not be the reason for being respectful to him. From what you wrote here, I gather that you have already talked to your boss about the situation and got no help?? I have worked for difficult people and continued to do so because I liked the job itself and because I needed the paycheck. If you are at a point where you really can't stand it then I think you should warn your boss that you are looking for another job and tell him why. If he values you as an employee then he won't want to lose you for a family member that sounds to be verbally abusive. He won't get many that will put up with that sort of treatment. It is never right to yell and swear at employee and if this man has to deal with a new person with NO experience...can you just imagine?

Oh that is quite hard. I don't think I would be happy to work with a difficult person like your manager. He is 65 and so hard do deal with. So he should rather just stay home and rest if his illness is the reason instead of going to office and make the life of the people who work with him miserable. I understand your feelings. It is not right to yell and say bad words without any reason and even if there is reason saying bad word must be avoided. We can always talk in a civilized manner and settle things like educated ones. But your Manager does not seem to know the right way to behave and treat the staff so he should rather be fired but if your Boss can't do that if I were you.... I will resign. I think it is to their loss if you leave that office. Anyway you have the qualification that will make it easy for you to find another job. Maybe you should tell your Big Boss that you can no longer stay because of the bad attitude of your Manager. He has to choose between the two of you. If he chooses you then good but if he does not then fine. They are the loser not you.

The good thing is that you told your boss about his uncle and if he is saying that you should ignore that person then I think its okay to stay there. Means your boss also knows that his uncle is of frustrated nature then I wonder why he is still sticking with him, may be that person is a good asset to the company. Anyways some old people do behave like that due to several reasons and you can't change them so you should not be worry as long as your boss is happy with you.
