Things You Should Do If You Hate Your Boss

-

If you will list down ten (10) individuals that you hate, your boss will probably end up in that list. Of course there are some employees who are lucky enough to find an ideal boss, but for the unlucky ones, here are some suggestions:
  • Don’t show up. If you woke up at the wrong side of the bed and the idea of seeing the face of your boss will only ruin your day, decide not to show up at work. Who cares if you will incur deductions on your salary or leave credits? It is more bearable than torturing yourself for more than eight hours a day.
  • Pretend. Your workplace is your second home and the people you work with are your second family. The only difference between the two is that family is permanent while work is replaceable. If you have no means to shift jobs, better find a way to convince your internal being to pretend that you like your boss. Maybe, your hatred towards your supervisor is only situational. Wait for the tide to calm, who knows, your relationship with your manager might prosper given the right opportunity.
  • Empathize. Your boss is only human. Just like you, he is not a perfect creature from heaven. Some people were raised differently and their environment may have molded their behaviors uniquely. The best way to calm your anger towards your boss is to understand or to empathize his condition. Ignore his imperfections, just highlight his good qualities.
  • Look at the mirror. The undesirable actions of your boss towards you may be a product of your own doing. Try asking yourself, are you meeting the job expectations of your boss? Are you accomplishing all the assignments given to you? Are your outputs at par with the standards of the company and at par with the outputs of your co-workers? All of us have this notion that we are all “performers” and the rest of our co-workers are “non-performers”. This is because we are using our own performance criteria. Using such is very subjective since these are products of our personal rationalization. The true basis of your performance evaluation should be the official performance criteria set by your company.
  • Transfer. If you still fail despite the fact that you already exhaust all necessary efforts to patch your relationship with your boss, the next step is to request for a transfer to other departments or to transfer to another company.
  • Eye for an eye. Depending on your country, there are laws protecting employees against abusive managers. Consult your friends and family regarding these matters. They can refer you to a lawyer who specializes on labor laws. Labor cases are emotionally stressful; make sure that your family and friends are always there to give you a pat on the shoulder. Never consult a co-worker unless you really trust them. Besides, this is your fight and involving your co-workers in a work-related conflict may not be good for them.
