Is anyone else's boss crazy?
602017
First of all, i'd like to say that all bosses are not like that, but the "crazy ones" make up a greater percentage. \n\nI used to have a boss like that in my former office but all I found out when I left was that God put me there to learn PATIENCE, and that is helping me today in my relating with my boss in my new place of work.\n\nYou have to understand that it isn't every body that is like you. A lot of people come to work with a lot of problems from their homes, and, they transfer it to you; only if you are sensitive to that, then you will be able to work better with him/her.\nTIPS:\n(1)Try to please them and be so caring (especially if it's a woman) by asking "how was your night" or "how is your family", and you'll see that the person will soften up and even begin to confide in you. \n(2)Smile always with them.\n(3)Flatter them.\n(4)Always try to please them: because you don't know how much they stay awake all through the night strategising on the next business moves that will yield your next salary. Remember, someday you will be a boss too.\n\nThink about it. With this you should have a better relationship with your boss.

well i'm thinking of telling my boss to turn the clocks BACK an hour tonight instead of forward... I don't have to work tomorrow!\n\nwe do food deliveries at the restaurant i work at.  one of our drivers is a nice kid, hyper but fun.  when business gets 'backed up' he gets a bit high strung.  how the system works is he gets a delivery bag with a ticket printed on the top with the order, address, and cost.  of course he was so hyped up he grabbed the bag and ran out the door to his car to take it... not knowing that we had printed up a ticket with the restaurant's address on it.  we put a few empty boxes in the delivery bag so it wasn't 'empty' and off he goes.  \n\nwe're watching him out the window as he leaves, zooms out of the parking lot, turns down the side street, gets about 50 feet... and stops.  he's looking around at the restaurant, the businesses next door, the house across the street, and we can see his facial expressions the whole time. finally he saw us looking, gives a big sheepish grin, pulls back into the lot and comes in.  opens the bag and finds a pile of empty boxes inside.  busted!\n\n"hey john, where were you going with that order?"\n\n"%*&$#&@ you guys!"

Maybe he is afraid of making his wife jealous.  I had some trouble with my wife when I hired my assistant.  She is pretty and I hired her because she is very intelligent and goal oriented.  All the things my wife needs to work on.  Could be your boss wants to ease her into getting used to you.

My boss right now is horrible because she is a punk! She lets her assistant basically set her mood for the day, and tell her what to do. I feel that any true leader (boss, supervisor, manager,...etc) should truly lead in their position not be lead.

I am in the same boat as you.\n\nI dont believe my superiors are on the internet like I am b/c they always have a ton to do.  But I do not get enough work to do almost everyday.  I offer to people in other positions to see if they have things for me to do but I dont want to put services out there too much.  I am only working for the amount I get paid.  Too many positions I have been in where I am too helpful and get taken advantage of and now I no longer let it happen!\n\nPay me more and I will do more! Simple as that.  In the office setting I am forever tired of seeing managers and others getting paid tons of $$ and having little to no responsibilities.\n\nDAMN THE MAN!

I have a boss like that also.   I just show up, do my job to the best of my ability.  I have learned to block out the noise of this tyrant.\n\nThe boss is setting a good example of what type of boss and person NOT to be.  Learn from that.\n\nOne day he will either have a stroke or have a heart attack during one of his tirades.

WOW. That woman sounds like she needs help. However, it sounds like she's got your boss snowed. My advice is to look for a different job. That's outrageous. You might go to your supervisor directly, without her, and explain that you are in this position. Explain that if something doesn't change, you will be forced to look for a new job, if you don't stroke out first. I am so sorry you are dealing with this and I hope this is just a bit of help to you. Good luck and blessings to you.

I feel like that every day I leave my office and head for home when I work with the one boss. Sometimes it can be anxiety over so many things going on at once, at least that's what I've pin pointed it to in my situation. When the one boss is here he is crazy running around like a chicken with his head cut off, a huge tornado of chaos. It totally drains me after he leaves. Any other day I am fine, I think his chaotic manners suck my energy right out of me. I've tried just bracing myself for him to be chaotic and then when he leaves reorganise everything back to it's original spot,  also I ignore him somewhat, act really absorbed into my work and then he doesn't really bother me.

I went through this with one boss.  I was so stressed out that I was sick at work, then had a death in the family.  It was an awful time.  In the end, they fired me.  As it turned out, though, they were in the wrong.  Bad on them.\n\nIt can certainly happen.

My boss used to love to pick on me. She made fun of my hair "Dont you own a hairbrush?" my pants "It's not Christmas time, why are you wearing velvet pants to work?" my shirts "Dont you own an iron?" and my voice "You need to be peppy when you answer the phone, you sound like you just rolled out of bed" (i have a deep voice, some say sexy) my Armani glasses "You look like an old grandma with those thick frames" and my brain, when i couldnt fix her 1980's fax machine "Well, youre just stupid, thats why you cant fix it" and screamed like a psycho because i forgot one week to water her five million plants in the office and the leaves were turning brown. She was a big fat pig with alot of money and paid me 7 bucks an hour to be her assistant (office slave) Of course I quit after a few months.

Do you think they just aren't paying attention to who tells them and they just give the credit to the wrong one?\n\nOne of my bosses takes full credit for my ideas.  Really irritating!!\n\nI make it a point to call out when I'm using another person's ideas.

Is this your problem?\nShould it not be for the Contractor to take up with your boss?

My boss is truly psychotic.  He's one of the uglier people I've met in my life, but he throws his money around when he goes out so he has a new gold-digging girlfriend every week.  He really doesn't have as much money as he says he does after he's paid off his three ex-wives, so I guess the joke is on the gold-diggers.  The funniest thing is when he struts around the office bragging about all his girlfriends ~ he really thinks he's hot!
