Bullies take toll on morale, productivity

"Word has it that the boss who screams, threatens and belittles is more outdated than Dagwood's Mr. Dithers in the "Blondie" comic strip. Today's ideal boss is supposed to be more like a coach who teaches, encourages and supports workers to give their best efforts. But apparently there are quite a few chair-throwing Bobby Knights still out there."

Getting Along With the Boss

"There is the oxymoron manager, one who has the title of manager but does not quite fit the description. Hochheiser's categories for the oxymoron include Lone Wolves, Firefighters, Powerphiliacs, Con Artists, Bureaucrats, Wimps, and Real Jerks. The names are fairly self-explanatory. "

Don't Be Swayed By A Tempting Counteroffer

"Let's face it. When someone quits, it's a direct reflection on the boss. Unless you're really incompetent or a destructive thorn in his side, the boss might look bad by "allowing" you to go. His gut reaction is to do what has to be done to keep you from leaving until he's ready. That's human nature. Unfortunately, it's also human nature to want to stay unless your work life is abject misery. Career changes, like all ventures into the unknown, are tough. That's why bosses know they can usually keep you around by pressing the right buttons. Before you succumb to a tempting counteroffer, consider these universal truths."

How to Quit In Style

"When work gets stressful, most of us have dreamed of shouting “I resign” to the boss, then stomping out of the office, never to be seen again. But according to a survey compiled by Office Angels, that scenario is miles apart from what normally happens when an employee decides to resign. Sweaty palms, a blank mind and the worry of who to approach makes resigning even more stressful than being grilled for an interview."

Employers can read you e-mail, look at your personal computer files and eavesdrop on your phone calls. They can film you with hidden video cameras not only in public areas, but in locker rooms and even restrooms." A Resource from the American Civil Liberties Union.
