People are like a string.  If you push one end it just bunches but if you pull one end it will follow.  \n\nFulfill the needs of your bosses insecurity and then you will be able to lead him your way. \n\nFor example:  If he has a quench for power let him know in a subtle way he is in control.  Ask for his advice or mentoring then you will be able to insert your ideas along the way.

Some bosses you can never please. I had one that I could have stood on my head while I worked and it was never good enough.\n\nSometime I think when they don't like you perhaps you remind them of a teacher or aunt that hurt their feelings when they were a kid. Or you just may intimidate them by your knowledge and they think you are out to get their job.\n\nNote to Bosses....please be kind to your help because they are what gives your business success, and treating them like garbage is only going to promote high turn over.\n\nAs Bozo the Clown once said.."It's nice to be important but important to be nice." Be nice to your subordinates and they will be nice and work hard for you.

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

Well she is the boss.  Try hard to get the next dead-line then if you have to have a talk with her to let her know that she is being unreasonable have the talk.  Be calm and civil.  Good luck.

It's time for you to go over your immediate bosses head to upper management.  Before you do, I would document and entire weeks worth of instances along with date, place and time the harassment takes place.  I really feel for you and I hope your situation improves soon - God bless!

A poplular term used when discussing dimwit bosses is "manage your boss."  If you see her beginning to point in a direction you know to be incorrect, try playing the part of Devil's Advocate and pointing out some of the pitfalls in her way of thinking.  Another tactic is to think out loud, walking through the consequences of her decision step by step.  As long as you do this in a way that initially sounds like you are agreeing with her, you'll be fine.\n\nThe saving grace in your case is that "numerous people in the company seek advice from [you] and not her."  This indicates that they also know that your boss is clueless.  However, do not EVER tell anyone else that you actually think your boss is clueless!  Always cover your butt when taking about your boss.  Perhaps she's not been there as long as you, or she has a lot on her plate, or she's just not involved in the issues as much as your are.  Whatever the case may be, let everyone else pump up your reputation.  If your boss begins getting in hot water from her superiors, stay out of it as much as possible and just make sure your supporting co-workers are close at hand to support you as a replacement should that happy opportunity present itself.\n\nOh, and when things just get too frustrating, buy a stress ball.

Tell him that u got a better opportunity or tell the truth whatever it is. Y to hv a hitch dear friend. Face the boss boldly. He is not going to eat u. Try to be polite and use a very humble and sweet tone while facing the boss. Boss is also a human being like u and me. So, y to worry.

Get a different job where you can be the supervisor.  You can only change you and your behavior, not him.  Have your own business if you can't find a boss you like.  Be your own boss.

The suggestions above will work well with most managers, but there are some who have more specific ways of working that make day-to-day interaction challenging. Here are some typical "difficult boss"personalities and remedies for dealing with them.\n\nBoss type: The Micro-Manager (controlling, overly involved)\nRemedy: Your boss needs to develop more confidence in you. Begin by asking for complete responsibility on smaller tasks and then work your way up to bigger tasks. Be sure to deliver consistently excellent work or you may lose that trust quickly.\n\n\nBoss type: The Non-Manager (indecisive, hesitant, vague)\nRemedy: Instead of asking open-ended questions, give him a few choices and one clear recommendation. Counteract vagueness by asking for clarification. Avoid procrastination on your boss's part by communicating your deadlines and following up on what you need.\n\n\nBoss type: The Unreasonable Manager (crushes you with work)\nRemedy: Schedule a meeting to discuss priorities and options for what you can and cannot handle. Suggest bringing in a contractor to help during peak periods.

Be frank with them and tell them to grow up! Tell them that you are an adult and can speak to whom ever you please. Let them know that they are also putting unneeded stress on you at work and that is not fair to you.\nThe problem they have are between the two of them and they need to quit bringing you in the middle of it. Tell them you aren't going to stand for it any longer...end of discussion.\nIf necessary, go to management about it. If they get upset about it, tell them that you didn't know what else to do and that you deserve to come to work without having to deal with their crap.

I have had the same problem in the past well it was kind of a mutual thing.  Things are different now  because we have history.  The best advice I can give you is to use the time you have at your job to do it well and exceed your boss's standards.  After some time, they will see that you are a great asset.

Try ignoring him. Anything you do to irritate him may reflect poorly on you which is what you're trying to avoid. Also, keep a journal of incidents which can be considered harassment and go to your supervisor with more information to file a formal complaint if his actions continue. Good luck!

A good boss should be approachable but it doesn't mean they have to be your freind.\nThey have to draw a fine line between being your boss and being your friend because as a boss, they have the value of the company in their hands. If they become too friendly others may take advantage of their nature which makes it harder for the boss to control them.\n\nIf you are finding them un-approachable you should bring this up with them. Ask to have a meeting and discuss your concerns. \nThey may not like what they hear but sometimes they are unaware how they portray themselves. They may even respect you for speaking up. \n\nDon't forget though......... bosses are still people. They still pooh in the morning and they look awful naked!!!

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.

Just come right out and ask your boss if there is a problem and tell her exactly what you've told us.  It is only fair that you should know what is going on at work.  This way you won't have to sit and wonder and make yourself crazy and it's not fair to be treated that way at work.

yes, you need to approach him since your female boss isn't helping at all.  let him know that you have asked for information that would help you do your job and never got anything numerous times.  don't talk bad about her.  just let him know how you feel about it.
