bad one, things probably will not improve. Unfortunately, someone has got

to be in charge in any organization, and when Your boss is incompetent or

just unreasonable or biased, You are go’ing to be in for a long, tough slog

each day. If You boss is merely incompetent, the best th’ing You can do is to provide as

much help to him as You can. Not only will You make yourself invaluable to

him, You will also gradually learn his job—thus position’ing yourself to move

up in this, or a different organization. The greater Your skill set, the greater

Your flexibility when it comes to find’ing a more challeng’ing and fulfill’ing

employment opportunity!

If, on the other hand, Your boss is unreasonable and/or biased, You have

several strategies available – none of them good ones. You can buckle down

and take the abuse; do the job as best You can and hope that he notices

Your value; You can start look’ing for another job; You can go over his head

and hope that his boss might help; or You can seek legal action.

Keep in mind that Your boss’s boss may well not care if he is abusive

towards you. The higher ups in a company tend to be bottom line oriented,

and if Your boss’s numbers are good, Your unhappiness may just be the

price of do’ing business to them. If You are go’ing to fight, keep in mind that

there is a very good chance that You are go’ing to lose. Understand the risks

before You make the attempt! Have You reached a point where keep’ing

Your sanity mandates that You take the risk?

Your mantra (if You choose to fight) is DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT.

Write everyth’ing down. Keep a journal of what’s go’ing on, every time You

have contact through Your boss, note it. Keep’ing a record will also enable You

to cover Your backside if things do get out of hand. Protect yourself.

GOOD LUCK!
