360063
you cant 'make' people like you. they either do or they dont.i have a friend "Al", nobody seems to like the guy and when he kisses the bosses arse it makes things worse for him cuz he losses the respect of fellow workers. me? I tend not to give a hoot what the boss thinks of me (or what my co-workers think of me for that matter).\ni just do my job and do it well and guess what? the boss and my co-workers tend to like me alot. go figure...

You just walk right up to your boss and tell him/her.  If you are forthright about it, it shows you have what it takes to come to the point and want to come up in the world.  That is what a boss wants from an employee.........ambition and guts.

Try to burn as few bridges as possible because you may need them some day. I think that once you safely have a new job then you can just tell your boss to his/her face to do just that.

If you're his boss (you didnt say) thats easy, you posture him.  If you work under him, if you want to keep your job you have to roll with it.  Find a happy place in your mind and go there when his gums start flapping.\n\nIf you love the job, learn to deal with it.  If it doesnt matter, there is always Monster.com for jobs, or better if you have a network of friends or potential employers.

Try to figure out what you can do to make yourself more interesting to the boss. Take classes, join clubs with good reputations, and volunteer both at work and out of work. if those things don't get you a better poistion with your current employer your have a lot of things to put on your new resume for the next job.

You have to be realistic about this one because it will come back to haunt you if you're not. If at all possible distance yourself from this person. In other words, stay out of his or her target range. Next start racking up useful accomplishments for the office and your own time. For example, take a CPR and/or first aid class, earn credits or certificates important to your corporation, or do volunteer work on your companies behalf (i.e. Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers & Sisters, Red Cross, etc.). If there is some activity important to you boss do that too if you have time. After your accomplishments be sure your boss knows what you have done but don't talk about it with others at work so your jealous colleague won't find out for a while. If things get bad at work because of this person you will now be in a much better position to leave with all your new contacts and accomplishments. Good luck.

just remind them that your all on the same team and that you take your orders from whoever your boss really is or when they give you orders say, sorry but can't, i have to have this done because whoever asked me for it.  sooner or later they will get the picture.

Good managers create a team of which they are more a member than a leader, if your subordinates are made to feel like participants in the team rather than just workers under a boss they will desire to work harder and help more.\nI suggest a few things:\n1) Ask rather than demand help.\n2) Explain the assisgnment of the team and ask advice on how to get them done best -Even if you head up a cleaning crew, I bet your team can come up with ways to get the job done faster, better, cheaper...etc\n3) Be the hardest worker on the team - people respect a boss who actually works.\n4) Listen to your people, even if you cannot take their suggestions, listen and then explain why.\n5) Be fair, work hard to be impartial... have no favorites.\n6) Give alot of feedback, look for every opportunity to give praise.\n7) Be willing to "fire" a bad apple, the rest of the team will appreciate it.\n8) Gain trust by being trustworthy.. be a person who keeps your word, is always honest, and never gossips.\n9) Small rewards - A can of coke or box of donuts for everyone one day out of your own pocket will pay big dividends.\n10) Middle management is the hardest, explain your bosses expectation to your workers, so they can work with you rather than against you.\n11) Remember they are just people too - having good and bad days just trying to make a living. Treat them as such.\n\nBest of everything with your co-workers.

Write him an invitation to lunch on his bank receipt.\n\nMar.14, 11:15 pm. Well, you can't very well ask your co-workers to ask him if he likes you. You're older than that by now.

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.

I have alot of experience with this and I have learned one important thing....there are one of these people at every single job/workplace.  If you are not his supervisor, do nothing.  It seems the boss likes him so your best bet is to go to work, do your thing, keep to yourself, then go home.

<>YOu will need to sit down and establish the type of relationaship you want to have with her early on...first thing, in fact.  You need to explain to her what you require of her, and how you will be rating her performance.  If you want it to be strictly professional, you will have to state that.  You are a manager now....exert your authority.  But remember, managers are made or broken by their subordinates.

if you left your job on good terms with him, just send him an email to the workplace asking him how are things going? ask to meet him for lunch for some career advice and if he accepts, when you meet him, start neutral and play it by ear. you could dress a notch less casual than business when you meet, make sure you look good and smile a lot and do the eye contact thing, and see if he responds positively to that... You could also apply the subtle body language tactics by leaning into his personal space a bit, speaking with your hands a bit such that you sometimes touch him accidentally on his hand or forearm as you speak which subtly sends a signal without being really too obvious... let him ask you out! If that doesn't work, ask for a second meeting for more advice. If you meet regularly enough, he will like your company and you will have natural rapport to move to the next step...

Good things come in small packages. I think it all depends on ones personality. Don't make your height an issue and people will overlook it. My boss is only 5'4" (I'm 5'2")...we joke about our height all the time (he calls me shorty) LOL! He's a great guy with a great personality. A real people person.

It all depends on your boss.  does he know that he is ineffectual?  If so, you can feed him ideas.  Use social engineering to help him on his way.  Having no backbone is a common trait in state jobs.  No one dares make any waves!!!  If they are kind to you, dont force them to be the wave maker.  You don't want them to stress about job security.  Read dilbert cartoons religiously.  Pay tithe to Scott Adams, for the ideas expressed by his cartoons will only help you on your journey.

yeah!!! that's the best when the guy actually calls you to "just talk". hell yeah you should call her. it doesn't even matter what you guys talk about whether it be your bosses nasty hair or the fact that you like coffee just showing that  you really like her will make her feel good even if she doesn't even really like you back. just dont' be breathing on the phone. and make it sound smooth be confident if you are not it'll come through in your voice. hope it helps.

OMG YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!UR NOT THE BOSS OF ANY1.....unless u have ur own bussiness.....but yeah u have to be sure that u show her as much love as u can(and not sexually) and maybe she'll do the same...being w/someone does not mean that the man or the woman is the boss...it should be an equal share of power.
