Unfortunately, most bosses are like this....but I have learnt to face up to my boss (your boss) or anyone who is "in a way putting you down", and it works....I will turn the tables on them and ask them simply "what it is that they don't agree with" or what would they do differently, I will never allow anyone to just "put me down" without at least getting some kind of response back from them, I want to know the reason why.......especially and you must be honest, if your intentions were well meaning....and after a few times doing this to your boss, your friend, your family member, someone in a store/restaurant, believe me, you will leave them with an IMPRESSION of who you are and that will be, that you will want to get to the core of the matter........Good-Luck

if you are asking what to do if you have one...first, remember that you don't have to be friends to be professional and work well together. do you really have a grievance, or do you just not like them? if there is a real problem, approach them openly and honestly...and PROFESSIONALLY first. document everything. if you can't resolve it between the two of you, go to your supervisor or human resources department for help. but nobody likes a whiner, so make sure you have a legitimate complaint first, or it will only come back to haunt you.

I had a great boss at my last workplace.  Here are some of the reasons why I thought so:\n\n1. Led by example.  He treated the office as a family, cared about the people, and he was personally very committed and hard working therefore, the people tended to be more committed and hard working.  We actually worked with a sister company under the same president and CEO.  just the two division were run day to day by different General Managers.  Yet this culture and attitude of the two divisions was night and day, and I definitely attribute the better working environment to the personality of our General Manager (my boss).\n\n2. Had an open door and fought to get rid of the institutional/corporate roadblocks for me to be able to accomplish my job.\n\n3. Unafraid to make tough decisions and stand up for them.  Overall, I think leadership has a lot to do with character and confidence.  Confident and secure people tend to not be the ones who fly off the handle for no reason and are unafraid to be decisive and not waffle about.

Yes, I work with a hyperactive, two faced twit. She also seems to possess Jedi mind powers, so even though everyone at work knows she is a pain in the butt, she manages to turn things around so that soon enough, the boss is on OUR cases instead. She claimed that I was much slower at a task than she could have gotten the job done. My boss(I am the closing supervisor btw), then turned on me like a rabid pit bull and demanded to know why I can't get the job done as quickly. I told her that not having done this particular task as frequently as MOST of the other employees, anyone of them could do it faster. The pain is now super sweet to my face, but compains behind my back. Oh well.\n  Payback stinks though, because now that she has shown she can get it done faster, we are ALL required to get it done faster and she can't understand what happened to cause this stressful atmosphere. \nP.S.- She gets most of her tasks done faster than the rest of us by not doing them, or not finishing them correctly! Wish the boss could see that!!!

It's obvious that this man is no longer your "friend". \n\nThere's not a whole lot that you can do in this situation. You cannot control what he says/thinks/feels. You can control, however, your own feelings and reactions. \n\nMany people react this way because they feel that you're a threat (perhaps you got a raise and he didn't, or you received  an employee of the month and he didnt). Maybe you've done something in the work area that has hurt him in some way. \n\nRegardless of what the situation is, you can't control his action, ever. Don't deal with it. Ignore him if that is possible. You can also speak to your boss about the situation and ask that either he be removed, that you work different shifts, or that you work in different areas. \n\nRemember that the more you react, it's likely, that he will continue to be immature and will continue to spread rumors. Also remember that the more you react, the more your co-workers will begin to believe him, or will begin to dislike you because of rash behavior. React calmly and let your boss, "friend", and co-workers know that you are the more mature and that none of this is true or your fault.\n\nI hope this helped, best of wishes.

It depends on what it is about him that is causing the tensions and the size of your company.\nIf you are in a small business, and one have one boss above both of you, your only solution is to say your peace to your boss and part amicably.  \nIf you are in a medium/large company, they their should be proper chain of command procedures which allow you to air greivances, whether it be a secondary supervisor or human resources.  If the problems are related to work ethic, bring it to someone's attention, and point out areas of concern.  If the problem is you doing their work or they are hindering the teams ability to complete a project, don't do their work and notify your supervisor that you can not complete you project without their work being performed.\nLastly, if it about the other employee's personality or behavior, confort the employee and tell them "I don't like the manner in which you speak to me; this needs to be mediated immediately, let's go speak to (enter bosses name) right now", turn around and start marching to the bosses office.  The solution allows you to confront his behavior, and take them to task.  9 out of 10, the employee would rather discuss this with you privately then mediate with the boss present - --- Good Luck

I hated an ex-boss-\nHe thought that since I was young/blonde/female I was stupid and he hated the fact that I was intelligent and not home barefoot and pregnant where "women belong".\n\nTo get back instead of slapping him, I had to book his flight from Ohio to Japan (10 hours) - when I booked it I requested an aisle seat in Coach (please note he is an exec.used to flying in 1st class), with a vegetarian meal, and I made it clear to the booking agent that he was a "recovering alcoholic" and that he was NOT to have any alcoholic beverages on the plane no matter how irate he got....\nNeedless to say when he landed the next morning he called me an asked why his seat had all these stipulations- I played dumb blonde- LOL- He so deserved it!

You asked for serious advice so here goes, usually when individuals act the way your boss does, they are very insecure people. Now here goes the hard part, if you like your job well enough to stay there and hold your position, then you have to pray for him, I hope you like to pray because I have found that it is the only way to get ahead in life is by prayer, not getting upset or mad at the man, but just let it roll off, and know who you are in God's eyes, you are God's child and He loves you and He will promote you, these are all very trying learning experiences for all of us at one time or another but the ones who hang in there and do their job to the best of their ability, will prosper, how do I know this?o.k. It happened to me several times, and even though it was tuff to pray for someone I personally had no feelings for, I thought well , the Word teaches us to pray for our enemies, and right now this person was my enemy, so I prayed that they would be promoted clear out of my life,,LOL and guess what I was the one that got promoted to a great new position, and with great people that I had a blast with, I mean God is awesome, He knows exactly what you need, sorry to be so long winded, but just want you to know that things can change, and you are not the victim, he is. Keep on girl and you'll some out ahead!!!!!WhEEEEEE!

that will probably get you fired, you're taking potential work away from your boss and the crews that work for him, not a good move

My boss at my last job did, that's why I left. He was verbally abusive towards his employees. He would call them into meetings just to vent, cussing everyone out for NO reason. He would never tell us what we were doing good but that every thing was always bad (which, it wasn't). He would scream, use VERY graphic language (fu.ck, gd...), tell us that we "needed our job because no other place would take us", and so on. He was the biggest prick I have EVER worked for and I've worked for quite a few.

Honesty is a remarkably powerful option here, both with yourself and with your boss.  There is risk / benefit to consider both on the side of taking action, or accepting the circumstances and focusing on not letting your contempt for your boss interfere with your job satisfaction.  \n\nI believe strongly that if you have contempt for your boss, your best move no matter how difficult, may be to bite the bullet and move on to another company.  Contempt is a very strong emotion - could your boss really ever redeem himself in your eyes?  If you can't change things at your company, and you are not willing to leave, then you need to give yourself permission to take your situation with your boss in lighter terms.  \n\nTry talking to your bosses boss, but that could quickly back fire if your boss's boss thinks you are the problem, not your boss
