Rise above it. If she deliberately embarasses you, then she is the problem. Do your work well and professionally. Talk with her and inform her that you would prefer to be told about your mistakes in private so that you could remedy them. Always be professional and job oriented. Bosses hate office politics....Document all incidents that are caused by her, if it continues over a period of time approach the person over both of you. If you are doing your work well, it will show.  If she is the boss, get out now while you still have some self esteem.  Good luck.  Be proactive, not reactive.

I would keep out of it, and keep away from them. It's not your business to manage her. \n\nIs there a boss above your boss? If it becomes an issue in work performance, go to that person or go to HR.

Racial harrassment.  And yes, the company can get in trouble for it.\n\nTalk to your boss, his boss, etc.  Seek a legal solution or file a formal complaint if all that doesn't work.  If all else fails, find another job.\n\nGood luck!

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

it depends on who is talking stupid. ur boss, then just listen and show him with action. ur close ones, communicate, yet nothing,then avoid or turn deaf ear. ur lover , talk it out , no yield, let go of him. someone u dont know much, then dont care at all. the important thing is  what u think of yourself, trust me , no one other than u on earth know exactly who u r.

Get a job with a different company. All the money in the world can't be worth putting up with such a lack of respect. And to be blunt, maybe he thinks he can "get somewhere" with the black female.\n\nEither that, or maybe you could talk with another superior. Getting the matter on record is always a good thing - if it should continue, then you'll help them see a pattern with this supervisor.\n\nGood luck, and I hope this problem is solved soon, one way or another.

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.

Oh yeah, every place I have ever worked.\nRemember they are over compensating for their weaknesses.\nThey think if they act like they superior, everyone will think they are.\nBest way to defeat someone like that, is to show them you can do a better job that they can. Bursts their bubble every time.\nGood Luck.

Clarify with them exactly what they need to be doing, what their limitations are and what the consequences are if they do not comply.\n\nFor anyone that cannot understand that you might think about terminating them and finding someone who WILL work well.

you write a letter like a story and describe how horrible your boss was. say what he did, maybe even how it made you feel and stuff like that. Try to keep it organized. List each seperate incidence in it's own paragraph. You can write whatever but the better it's written and how convincing it is the more it will help your friend.

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.

i have this kind of female boss. she shouts at everyone and always blames others for her mistakes. she doesn't quite know how to work on a PC and doesn't speak any foreign languages. she always says bad words about me because i'm almost 29 and i'm not married. she got married at 21 and has a kid. she thinks this is the only way for a woman. and also likes to talk on the phone all day long and gossips all the time, gets angry when someone laughs and many other things. she's just frustrated and very sick in the head. \ni used to leave the office everytime she said something bad to me, but at a point i couldn't take it anymore so i said some bad words to her. almost shouted at her and since this happened she hadn't said anyting bad to me again. i don't know if this is the right way to solve your problem. best thing would be to get another job.

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.

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.
