ousting your boss?
Posted by: fakeid

Has anyone ever done this successfully? The weird thing is, I have once already. When I started working at my company, we had a crazy boss. One day after about a year, we were called in and told she was fired. A new senior level person with no management background was promoted to her place. Well, now the scenario is repeating itself. My new boss is equally insane. Every senior level person but me has quit in the past year. I am wondering if I should go to HR and complain but would it even help? I wasn't involved in the ousting of my previous boss so I am not sure if it would be putting my job on the line to do so. Any advice anyone?

dear fakeid...I am searching for the same answer in regards to getting your boss terminated..I have worked many years and I can honestly say ..I have never dealt with an unfair,cruel,malicious (and list goes on) female boss. I like my job and I am very good at my job..but witness to her behaviour with other employees makes me frustrated and powerless..and I know she crosses the line on harrassment..its proving it.And trying to get staff to talk out is an impossible task. I search the web for answers and directions.. |

I have actually had two occasions in which I have attempted to oust a boss. The first was unsuccessful. I was young and just blurted out what she was doing. I had no concrete evidence and approached it with a lack of professionalism. Ultimately, I left the position.
The second one I wised up, probably due to the previous attempt and age having a factor. I kept a log of the various things that were going on. His lies, insanity, empty promises, I even went so far as to keep emails in which I was subjected to rants that pertained to nothing. I would ocasionally bring up small items with the HR Director, to get a feel of where I stood and where the boss stood. Once comfortable that I had given enough "warning" I armed myself with fistfuls of documents. I approached the HR department, calmly sat down, and eloquently plead my case. I was able to go back and cite previous conversations with HR "As I had said last month, the expenses that are being incurred by Jim are strictly personal expenses..." I had a good hour and a half chat with HR.
The next day a new parking spot had freed up.
Females keep in mind not to cry, pick a good day to approach the subject. Men, don't angry. Remain calm, cool and collective.
I hope I've helped!
