How Do You Handle A Difficult Boss? by maikbanj(m): 5:38pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
Good evening. I got transferred to a new office and my boss is just the direct opposite of the Previous.My current boss is a bit nice but then doesn't have managerial skills. She really doesn't know how to handle her subordinates. At a slight mistake, she's all shouting the roof down. She exaggerates a lot and looks for every means to put a blame on you when things don't work even though it's not your fault. E.g, you're working on something and probably you have network issues and can't complete or round off on time, she'll just look for a way to put in on you. Now it's almost affecting the way I work. Asking her questions sometimes is almost difficult and then I do it my way. There are just so many complains and I can't afford to lose this Job right now. In front of you she's acting so nice but behind she's all saying dirty things. I'm getting fed up. Coming to work seems tiring now. Please how do I handle this? 11 Likes 4 Shares |

U can only get advice from someone that had an experience with a female boss before. The only thing is that female bosses or HR always feel as demigod. U can only do your best no go kill yourself for another man work and no go do eye service for where she dey But if u know your what believe me she dare not stand on your way 5 Likes |

maikbanj: Watch how you react when she shouts. I totally understand the part that you can't ask her questions because you don't want the unpleasant reaction but you have to ask even though it is not pleasant solely because of your efficiency. Be very professional when she is emotional dont every keep shut but calmly explain yourself. It is very ok for you to tell her you don't appreciate her shouting at you that your understanding she might be upset. 3 Likes |

That's the disadvantage of working with a female boss. They just want to make a statement and let everyone know they are the boss. One thing you must know is, you are there to work and not to seek anyone's approval of you, therefore face your work and discharge your duties competently and satisfactorily to the best of your ability, otherwise you'll get frustrated if you keep seeking her validation. Simply ignore her! But don't disregard or disrespect her. So far they pay you at the end of the month, you got no qualms. Lastly, support it with prayers. Pray everyday before you leave the house that God Should remove every spirit of puffiness and hate towards you from your bosses heart. It works. I've done it before and each time I do such prayers, she'lll just be staring at me like expired Panadol. It is well. 14 Likes |

Be deliberate about taking a special interest in her. Be nice to her, show her things, ask her view on issues not related to work e.t.c. Enter her psychologically. You will surely win. 100% guaranteed. And pray for her. You don't know that people have both home and office issues these days, and this may get into how they relate with others at work(Psychological). Any negative act from you will surely bounce on you, so that is why you must take these positive steps and be the best of friend. I hope to hear your testimony of she recommending you for the next promotion soon. 11 Likes |

Omo! For this kind of boss you have to take things easy and step by step with her and make sure you don't give her any chance to enter/see you finish. Don't give her any smiling face at all, squeeze face giam anytime you both have an eye contact, she'll later come under pressure to cool things down with you. 2 Likes |
