It's Monday. And nothing sucks more than Mondays at work than Mondays at work with a really bad boss. A bad boss can be the bane of your existence, or you can develop ways to deal with him or her, making the most of a really bad situation. Last week…

In Part I of dealing with a Really Bad Boss we advocated taking the high road because as difficult as it can be, rising above the noise and nonsense of a really bad boss can result in unparalleled personal and professional growth. Today in part 2, w…

Thanks Connie. Unfortunately, I couldn't agree with you more about really bad bosses being here to stay. Other observations - having been employed in both the public and private sectors, I've found more really bad bosses in government than in privat…

For the second time in my career, I found myself in the unenviable position of having to deal with a really bad boss at a time in the economy when finding a new job seemed like a long shot. In the end, after a lot of hard work and smart job hunting,…

In Part I of “Coping with a Really bad boss,” I talked about the Reprobate and how he stormed around the office cursing and threatening to fire us all depending on what he’d had for lunch. Not only was he verbally abusive, but he once asked a female…

So, for many of us, for now at least, we’re stuck with our really bad bosses a lot longer than… Continue
