On Tuesday reallybadboss.com, along with other experts in the field of workplace tyrants, was featured in an amNY piece by Lucy Cohen Blatter. The post, titled, Tyrants in the Workplace, touched on topics we’re all too familiar.
From the economy making it harder to do anything about bad bosses to a definition of bad bosses that includes anyone who is “mean, never compliments you, is harsh, has no flexibility and overworks people,” the post highlighted the problems with working for people whose sole purpose in life at times seems to be to undermine their employees.
However, there’s still hope. Blatter offers some tips for handling bad bosses, including a few of our own:
- Leave it at work. Try not to take negative feelings home with you.
- Don’t take it personally. The problem is with your boss’s management skills or his personality, not you.
- If all else fails, start looking for a new job. You don’t want to wait until things become unbearable or you risk being fired.
