I am not sure of the lie.. but if you have proof you didn't say it let people know.  And depending on the lie.. you have a right to say whatever you want.  Constitution says so.

Depends on what is going on.\n\nIf it is a conflict of work styles... you need to sit down and talk about it, come to a solution, and keep moving forward.\n\nIf it is a bully... you need to take it to HR or follow the process of your company.\n\nIf you can't get resolution and the company won't help you... you need to look somewhere else (transfer or go to another company).\n\nUnfortunately, many companies only realize they have the wrong person in a management position when it is too late and good people are leaving.\n\nJust make sure to take care of your mental health during all of this. It can put a real strain on life.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser

Everyone is entitled to have an off day.  Don't take it personally unless it becomes habitual or there is a threat made.  At that point inform your supervisor/manager of the activity.  There may be an Aggressive/Anger Behavior that needs attention by people that have been trained on how to deal with the problem.  Your supervisor/manager should have a crisis number to call if he deems necessary.  If it’s your boss that has the issue call your HR Dept. (HR will handle the call or direct you to the proper party). He may have had previous issues with others and this is information the company needs to take action one way or the other.\n\nEveryone is expendable.  But at the same token everyone is valuable.  It all depends on weather the individual has a valid case of harming or damaging people or property.\n\nDoes this issue involve a Union?  This would simply require filing a grievance.  \n\nTaking action or replying in a negative fashion is often acted on prematurely, wait a day and then reply.  Sometime what you think happened was actually what your mind made of it without thinking things through.\n\nGood Luck

Forget going before work.\n\nGo after you get done at work, take your gym bag with you.\n\nIt helps avoid the rush hour traffic home.

hi there . my advice to you is to address the situation straight away as you are getting very angry and this can be resolved before the situation becomes untentable! \nthis is a common accurance and can be simply remedied by expressing your concerns as to your situation at work and impact it is having or could have on your job and frienship . The longer you leave it the harder it will be to broach and the outcome will be seen as you being the bady .good luck with it\nRegards.\n Adrian

Be assertive, self-confident, and don't back down from anything.  Of course, this is on top of actually being a hard worker and producing positive results in your work.  I've noticed through experience that being funny also works, but make sure everyone's laughing with you - not at you.

1.  Confront the person, ask them to stop\n2.  Inform the supervisor\n3.  If the above don't work, try looking for a new job.

Every job is a compromise. Do you get more from it than you have to take? Is it heading you somewhere you want to go? People don't really change much in their treatment of subordinates once they have established a relationship pattern. I don't think you can stop it, but you can probably get yourself fired. If the negatives of your job outweigh the positives start looking and leave (on good terms) as soon as you can. If the positives outweigh the negatives, learn to live with it. You probably can't change it.\n\nThere is a level of abuse that is actionable (you can take legal steps to protect yourself and get your boss punished). If you are talking about this level of abuse see someone at your state's department of labor or call an attorney.

Look up 'hostile work environment', get a lawyer.

They wouldn't take you serious if you left, and told them,  they would think you were just mad ex-employee. go to the Boss, in strictest of sincerety and confidence and state your observations, let him decide. Then, if you don't like the way they handle it, then leave and report it to higher authority until it is resolved. Never watch an injustice, at least try to make it better.

Network.  Schmooze.  Build strong relationships with co-workers.  Be seen.  Be visible.  Speak pro-actively with your boss.  Be the person who anticipates problems and then takes care of them.  And communicate that you are doing this.\n\nAnd of course, do an outstanding job!

take a day off.  Go somewhere by yourself and have fun. \n\nif your at work or cannot readily get away right now.. take a break and just close your eyes and breathe deeply of a couple of minutes.  a clear mind will get you through the rest of the day.\n\nAlso stretch.  If your all stressed out.. your muscles are all tight too.. loosen up and relax.  Also...  if all else fails... cover your face with a pillow and scream your head off!

I, too, am second in charge at my job.  The best way I've found to deal with timid bosses is to first talk to them about the problem.  You are there to help them, so help.  Approach your boss in a non-threatening way, one-on-one, and discuss your concerns.  You could say "I've noticed other employees not adhering to the company policies. I know we don't want to send the message that this is acceptable. What do you think we could do to discourage this?"  If your boss tries to skirt the issue or tries to blow you off, be firm.  You could also say "I know coaching and corrective action isn't one of the fun aspects of your job, and I'd be happy to help you with this (if you truly are).  Let's get a game plan together so we can be sure we are on the same page with this"  This way your boss should get the hint that something needs to be done, and you are willing to help, yet you don't have to go over her head or make her feel like she can't do her job correctly.  Good Luck!

Stop walking around and get back to work!\nSay hi once and just do a jesture next time.

Quit your job.  Things there won't improve until that manager is gone or one of her higher-ups stops her behavior.  Don't worry about never being able to work there again, because it doesn't sound like a good place to work!

Wellll, hmmmm\n\nIf you don't want to wreck the place, or call people names, or do anything that your boss can take you to court for to get paid for - like wrecking things, losing clients, and running up the phone bill...\n\n...then you could refuse to do work you disagree with\n...be late repeatedly\n...leave work early without telling anyone\n...be absent repeatedly\n...take unscheduled breaks frequently\n...make your lunch hour last and last - day after day\n...if you have a computer at work download a \n   messenger and chat the day away. \n\nIf you do all of these it really shouldn't take long before you find yourself on the unemployment line.
