I need advise on how to handle this bad situation!!? |
My current boss is just a pain in the butt. I can't handle her anymore. She has humiliated me in front of all the staff members and with patients. At the last insident, she yelled at me and I was ready to walk out. I have spoken with an upper supervisor and they said they would handle it, but I don't know how much longer I can take this. I LOVE what I do but its gotten to the point where I'm wishing every single day that my boss don't come to work. And if my boss does arrive, I wish that she is in a good mood. I have to say this is the worst experience I have ever lived. I have not left yet because there are other people I work with and I don't want to leave them hanging. I really don't know what to do anymore. I feel stuck and don't have any help. What would you recommend? I really need help! i guess you have two choises stay and work it out or leave. Ask other staff who you trust how they feel about her. then complain to management on behalf of a group if you can. Dont go in and start by descibing little incidents. Say that you and other employees feel that she is lacking leadership skills and deals with staff in an inapropriate manner. tell them you dont want to make a fuss but staff morale is sufferring and say 'I am a very loyal employee and am only telling you because staff have begun to talk about looking for new employment' if they ask who say ' Its just talk at the moment so I would hate to say any names. ' Say you are concered that she is bringing personal problems to work and you feel this is inappropriate,you can tell this from her eratic mood swings. Say that her moods undermine the proffessional atmosphere and youre worried when patients notice this it will undermine there confidence in everyone as proffessionals. Say something nice about her. IE: 'I know deep down she is a good person and works hard' tell them you are not telling them this to get her in trouble but because you felt it was your duty to them and to other members of staff Good luck there is nothing worse than a real meany at work. if your direct supervisior doesnt listen go above her head. do something subtle and non confruntational so she knows that you are not going to be treated like that anymore. You need to feel like you are apart of the team and appreciated. Have you tried to talk to your boss with your superiors present? Just because she is your boss still does not mean she can get away with degrading you in public. It is one thing to provide constructive criticism. If your supervisor has not addressed this situation, I would try contacting human resources. Pull together your resume and start looking for a new job. But don't quit this one until after you get your next one. Bad bosses are common. The things that make people valuable to upper management, don't always make them good managers. Fact of life. Ignore her as much as you can. Go in do your job well and go home. But start looking for a new job. Just the act of doing something to change your situation will make you feel better. Trust me, I have done the same thing before. Doing nothing but taking her crap will just leave you feeling horrible and frustrated and depressed. As for the leave other people "hanging", realize that the company would not have a problem letting you go and leaving you hanging if it was right for their business. Your job is your business, so don't feel bad for fixing it! Good luck 15+ years hiring & management I always believe changing of job is the last resort over supervisor issue if I really love the job. There are other option that you can choose. Such as, ask for a transfer or try to get thing work with your boss. If for me, I will choose to get thing work with my boss. As I believe if I can't handle my boss, how can I handle more difficult customer? Especially when I am in a service industry. tonight update resume and get it out there. job hunt. when you get the job, give two weeks of the best work. its time for a change and a raise. Quitting and throwing in the towel is not a glamourous thing to do. Having said that, it would be a foolish warrior to stay on and fight against your boss First, try and sort it out. Who know's, it might not be as bad You can try and promote your boss out of your way by giving her your best support. However, if she has been there for many years, good to talk to her about a transfer. She may be having the same vibes of a poor team player on board If all else has failed, do something that you enjoy somewhere else ... though I must say that bosses like the one that you have described are pretty common. Which is why I constantly ask my team if I am a pain in the butt to them |
