How do you stop a boss from picking on you?

Category: Other

TLTL


Nobody likes being told what to do, but what do you do when your boss picks on you? Me and my boss don't get along, never have. Maybe he has something against me because I've always stood up for myself when I speak my mind on what's wrong. Funny thing is nobody likes him either, so that makes me feel like I'm not crazy. Everytime I get sick and have to leave him he tries to make me feel bad or guilty. When he sees me saying hello to a co-worker he calls me out. Yet other co-workers stand and talk for 20 minutes and my boss goes by and just stares and doesn't say a word to them. He's making me really hate my job therefore my life. I help support my family and can't quit because it's the highest paying job. I've talked to him before about this and his response is "I don't feel that way". My health is being affected, everyday I'm stressed all day. He treats other workers better even guys who've been there shorter then me. Would talking to his upper boss a little or having a meeting with them help? I can't take it anymore and need some advice. 2 weeks ago I left home sick and he gave me ****, he thought I was leaving because I didn't want to work. I always work hard I even go in and work on days that I have off.

Help, thank you

Do you know what I would do? I would carry on working there until I find another job in a similar role. What I am saying is, put up with this for a while longer but a the same time begin looking for another job, that way once you get offered the other job (fingers crossed) you can stick your middle finger in his face (literally!).

Hi TL,

I just went thru the same thing at my former job. My boss was really bad, bully, angry, degrading, disrespectful. i would go home very upset and make myself sick over it. report him to your human resources department and make sure it is a FORMAL complaint. They will have to follow up on it. I did this, was assured it would be handled, luckily for me a co-worker reported him at the same time. I GOT LAID OFF for having an abusive boss. Nothing happened to my co-worker. I am filing a formal complaint with the labor board against this man and the company. Don't be a victim, it's against the law. Document EVERYTHING, times, dates. If you can get a little dictaphone and tape the conversations that would be helpful as well. The burden of proof is on you. Good luck!!!!

Not an easy situation, but I believe that everything depends on us.

so first of all, stop complaining about your boss.

secondly, he does not consider you? well you can do the same.

thirdly, be superior.

I had the same situation at work and It's not nice, it's quite stressful, I really believe that we can change all we want, really. stop thinking he is a sh*t .

watch this move on you tube "you can heal your life" it is about that kind of situations...

you can do it, I am sure of it.

have a glorious day.

Sounds like you need to extend the olive branch. Try to change the relationship with him. You might find he just has a brash personality.

Try.
