"We've all had bad bosses here and there, either personally annoying, professionally incompetent or - worst of all - both. But if you love your job, the company or anything else about the gig, quitting is an option you don't want to choose. Fear not, Lea McLeod at The Daily Muse says there are three strategies for dealing with an inferior manager while keeping your job - and your sanity."

"The bully, the narcissist, the know-it-all, even the psychopath.
We may not like them, or want our children to be like them. But chances are, almost everyone who has worked long enough has a horror story about a superior who generally behaved like Homer Simpson’s boss, Mr. Charles Montgomery "Monty" Burns."

Each year, over 15,000 professionals from around the country, and the world, attend four days of meetings around every imaginable topic. Attending this event caused me to consider what an enormous amount of information is out there for business on how to manage people, strategize your business, comply with the law and motivate your people."

"When it comes to your personal happiness, who you work for might be more important than what you actually do. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics reports that 2 million people voluntarily leave their jobs each month, even with unemployment well above 7 percent, and a study from Accenture finds that 31 percent of those people quit because they didn't like their manager. Obviously, it behooves us to figure out, during the interview stage, whether a hiring manager will be a good or bad boss. But how can we tell?"

One thing that most bad bosses have in common is lack of awareness that they’re bad bosses. With so much at stake personally, nobody wants to believe they are the problem. Not only is that bad for decisions, it’s bad for careers and employee health as well."

But how many workers actually are in this predicament? Quite a lot, if you believe the results of a new survey from Glassdoor, the employment-information company. The survey of 2,054 workers -- which was conducted by Harris Interactive -- found that 1 in 5 gave a negative grade to their boss."

These were, and to some degree still are, my struggles. Just as so many great people helped me by identifying my leadership problems, you too can help get your boss on the road to recovery."

"I work at a private university, and I enjoy my job 100 percent. The reason I'm writing, though, is that our office has undergone some hard times recently. In the past two years we have had 13 employees leave (mostly due to their pay not compensating for the amount of micromanagement we withstand). Last fall our director underwent an "HR investigation" and all of us underlings were sure that she would be gone by spring. However, we were wrong, and in fact the results have made the work place an even more hellish situation. We are no longer allowed to go to HR with our issues. We first have to go to the director -- who is the issue -- and then the VP and then HR. Further, the person in HR who was in charge of the investigation is friends with our director. How do we go about reporting complaints or changing our situation without incurring retaliation?"

The executive editor, Victoria Mack, taught me about the importance of research, accuracy and clean copy — and always being ahead of deadlines. She was a stickler for near-perfection, and it made the job tough. But she was fair, and her employees respected her for it."

"My boss calls me up to 10 times a day and says, "Can I ask a question? " Sometimes the question has to do with why this unit or employee is working overtime. (We do not have restrictions on OT, but she gets a bigger bonus the farther under budget she is -- all the managers do.) The questions wouldn't bother me except that she decided a couple of months ago that I and the assistant manager had to come to her to get permission before having staff cover shifts that would result in overtime. Any OT had been approved by her already. We have 100 shifts open per month, which she knows from the weekly emails she has requested, in addition to the information in our weekly individual meetings."

We’re a tiny workplace that he runs, there’s no human resources department, and quitting is not an option because getting hired while you’re unemployed is SO much harder."

"We’ve all heard of (or experienced) the boss from hell. The stress of continuing hostility from a manager takes a toll, sometimes a big one. We spoke with a man we’ll call Matt, who reported to Larry – a volatile bully who insulted his direct reports, belittled their efforts and blamed them for things over which they had no control. (The names in this article have been changed and the identities disguised.) Larry was rude to customers, too. When he accompanied Matt to one client’s store, he told the owner, “I see you’re carrying on your father’s tradition. This store looked like shit then. And it looks like shit in your hands.”

"Your relationship with your supervisor, like any relationship, takes work. The goal of the relationship is to build mutual trust in order to get the work done. For both you and your boss to grow, it’s important to so set aside time to work on the relationship. Conflict with your boss is to be expected. You are the boss of you, but sometimes you have to be the boss of your boss and “manage up.” For whatever reason, he or she needs to be diplomatically managed in order to get things done in the workplace. This can be a real challenge. Here are my tips and techniques you can use to survive and even thrive at the office."

But unlike the film, where three disgruntled employees get the better of their nasty bosses, real life bosses often enjoy the last laugh, resulting in de-motivated employees and strained relationships at work."

"Does your boss consistently intimidate you or others, push people around, lose control, and seem amazingly selfish? Well, I hate to break it to you but chances are you’re working for a bully. Bullies get things done by constantly berating others, thinking that somehow this makes them look good. But here’s the weird part – bully bosses don’t just generate fear, but respect and fascination says the book, Managing Your Manager. We respect them for speaking their mind and we’re fascinated by their complex character."

"Numerous studies around the world during the past several decades drew similar conclusions, noting that “75% of the workforce reports that their immediate supervisor is the most stressful part of their job.” Professor of management Robert I. Sutton, the best-selling author of The No Asshole Rule , explores how good and bad bosses affect the workplace and what distinguishes one from the other. Sutton’s research is solid and his anecdotes are amusing, though he’s short on practical suggestions about how to handle a bad boss. As you might guess from the title of his last book, Sutton indulges in salty language and profanity, so be warned. With that caveat, getAbstract recommends his book to anyone who has – or is – a boss."

"I’m asked constantly to distinguish a tough boss from a bully boss. First, not all bullies are bosses, but bosses do comprise the majority of bullies (72% according to the WBI US National Survey). Second, let’s define “boss” as a person who has the authority to assign work and who delivers or withholds acknowledgment and credit for work done. Bosses can be leads, supervisors, managers, directors or executives."

If you work with a difficult boss, implement tactics for dealing with the situation so you can continue to do your best work."

"One issue is identifying when or if a difficult supervisor is really a problem. Is the supervisor just tough and demanding, or is the supervisor abusive, retaliatory or discriminatory? Sometimes the subordinate feels put upon by the supervisor’s demands. Sometimes these demands are reasonable, but harsh. Where is that line between George Patton and Attila the Hun? Sometimes a supervisor’s expectations are appropriate, but a lack of supervisory skills may inhibit him — particularly if he is new — from effectively overcoming resistance to changing a longstanding, but inefficient, culture."

Later, his boss, who’d been on the last conference call, commented less pointedly on the same thing."

Spotting a Bad Boss
Text Size Print
The imperative of every interview is to sell yourself to the prospective employer. What you think of the boss and the culture won’t matter if you are shown the door after the first round. However, every discussion during the interview process, whether with a senior, junior or peer, is an opportunity to explore issues of workplace style, personality and cultural compatibility – three qualities that when mismatched, often lead to job failure."

"Almost everyone has experienced a boss from hell at one point or another in their careers, but how many of us could quantify just how unpleasant the experience is? Thanks to some hard-working psychologists, that's now possible—at least for some forms of unpleasantry. A team has spent four years immersed in the study of workplace arrogance, and emerged with what they term the "Workplace Arrogance Scale," or WARS. In a recent review, they've looked back on what they've learned about arrogance, and the results are pretty ugly."

"It's often said there's nothing certain in life except death and taxes. The parallel in organizational life is that at some point in your career you'll have a bad boss — or at least a boss who's bad for you. Bad bosses come in all shapes and sizes: abrasive and insensitive, indecisive, inconsistent and unfair, the micromanager who stifles your ability to perform and grow, and "matador managers" adept at sidestepping every tough issue that comes their way. So, the question isn't whether or not you'll have a bad boss. Rather, it's how you'll respond when you do."

"You submitted your resume, sailed through the interview process, and the job you worked so hard for is finally yours. The joy you felt upon being hired can quickly become overshadowed by the realization that you are now working for a difficult boss. Studies show that up to 80% of Americans say that they have worked for a "bad boss" or miserable manager at some point in their careers, and while popular media pokes fun at many lousy bosses, dealing with one in reality isn't funny in the slightest. If you feel like you're being bullied, overworked, harassed, micromanaged, mistreated or led by a clueless dolt, there are things you can do that will hopefully improve the situation."

But Carpenter-Arevalo says that there are other indicators, some of which may lead to you not being liked or respected, that signal that your "boss skills" may need a little revamping."

I was the only woman in an office of delivery personnel and respiratory therapists, and I worked very hard to maintain our medical records.

"The film Horrible Bosses opens on July 8th. The basic plot, as I understand it, is that three guys who hate their bosses, played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, conspire to murder them. I don't recommend that way of dealing with a bosshole, and have been suggesting more constructive approaches (see this ABC interview). As part of the film's release, I have been getting quite a few media calls about bosses. This reminded me of a checklist that I worked on with the folks at LinkedIn and Guy Kawasaki a few years back to help assesses if a prospective boss is likely to be an asshole. The list builds on the ideas in The No Asshole Rule and some ideas that appeared in Good Boss, Bad Boss."

"Almost everyone has had a difficult boss in her career. They come in a wide variety of forms: the micromanager, the critic, the blamer, the harasser, the disorganized boss. But there is a crucial difference between a demanding or somewhat dysfunctional boss and an abusive boss. The abusive boss who lacks emotional control and is subject to rage attacks needs to get help. But, as the boss is the boss, many employees will not speak out about the problem. Knowing how to handle an abusive boss and where to go for help could break this cycle."

According to Los Angeles Times, lawmakers in New Jersey are proposing a bill that would allow employees to sue for as much as $25,000 if an employer creates "an abusive work environment.” Similar measures have been proposed in New York, Vermont and Washington state. Though none of the measures has actually defined what an “abusive environment” actually means."
