Negative people

Feel bad for you as that can be such an uncomfortable situation. I have a good boss right now. Am only part time and work in a fun atmosphere at a sporting facility. However my previous boss was a different story. He was nice, friendly and kind most of the time. Many times he would reprimand me in front of loads of people. I was so embarrassed. Almost quit the job as a result of his behavior. He would never call me into his office and speak to me alone if there was a problem. I would ask a simple question, this happened during special events, and he would blast me. There was never a standard way of doing things and he wouldn't tell his employees if there was a small change prior to the event. Eventually he was fired but it wasn't the result of my complaining. Another important issue was discovered and the finger pointed at him.

NOT THE FIRST TIME and I hate and I like this at the same time , when they go I can't do that it's impossible , it can't be done , we will not success and or their bla bla bla bla bla I just hate it and start screming at them that yes everything's possible that if we do our best we can do it if we have ccoperation we will succeed sometimes they turn t positive and sometimes not but I try to give them courage

Luckily I have never had a negative boss and that is probably just as well or I would have quit I am sure. However I have had negative co-workers and in fact there are 2 of them at the present time. To make matters worse, we are all doing the loads to Brisbane every week and listening to them is a bit much. You see we have UHF radios in our trucks so we can communicate with each other and other road users, primarily other truck drivers. These 2 blokes drive me nuts with their continual complaining all the time and to make matters worse they were not forced to take these loads. Like me, they chose to because it is extra money and we can actualy do less work for the week if we want to. Last week I decided that I would take the truck to my home and leave from there rather than the depot. It means that if I am lucky I do not have to listen to these 2 whingers for 20 hours the trip takes one way. Also if I am realy lucky I can be in and out of the Queensland depot before they arrive there so I do not have to listen to them on the return journey as well. As truck drivers we have enough other things to be concerned about, i.e. car drivers who are inconsiderate and think the highway is a speedway track. It must be very unpleasant for you working where you are. I think that you should really give serious consideration to requesting a transfer to another school. If you do that, then you will be able to retire on a good note and not a sour one which this lot of administrators are giving you. I am wondering how old these administrators are? Somehow I suspect that it is not that old in the scheme of things and that could possibly mean that they feel "thratened" by the older and more experienced staff. So instead of dealing with their own insecurities, they make life as miserable as possible for everyone around them. Smile at them, be polite and they will wonder what you are up to. It always ruins the day of some petty despot.

I worked for 17 yrs at my last job and had the same boss for the first 14 of those years.. We disagreed and argued on a daily basis, but not until the company got rid of him and replaced him with a long string of much younger know-it-alls did I really comprehend the word idiots.. The last 3 years of my job were comprised of being written up, talked to in the office, talked down to and sent home, I ended those 3 years with a file big enough to choke a horse.. In the first 14 years, I thought things were really bad, but after, I would have killed to get my former boss back.. He was so much more fair and never wrote me up for disagreeing with him.. I don't really have an attitude unless someone gets one with me first and as I told one of my bosses, "You just hired me, you didn't buy me".. So I got wrote up again.. I have been gone from there for over 10 years now and I have never been happier.. Good luck to you and I sincerely hope it gets better for you..

lord yes, i had a few jobs where some of the other workers was like that, but they found out really fast when they stepped to me with the rude attuide that i don't take it from no one, i jumped right back in thier faces. i had a boss like that once he found out the same thing, never less i didn't keep my job long, he decided to call me a few bad words and i gave it right back to him, told them i don't care who they think they are, step to me dis respectful you will get it right back no matter who are

hi cobra ... i am married to the whole "family" of negative people .. if i said "a" it will be definatly be wrong, but the "a" from them is so great ... well this people run the whole ligfe for me .. my advise cobr, if you enjoy this school and the students here, just ignore the idiots i know it is difficult but y wish them good morning ..if the they complain then u respond .. otherwise be "stupid" as they are "smart" well i have been successful so far i am "stupid" but being smart in so many ways now cheers

Hi there, I'm actually not working for this guy, but I had the chance to be around him for a day And I can say that he is the LOWEST human being on earth This old man is a bilionaire who own the biggest medicine company in my country And I can see him treating others around him like trash Looks like he treats himself as a king He always give others command to do his thing, Like once he was thirsty, the water jar is only three footsteps far from him And he COMMANDs someone to take it for him, and that glass of water must be served on a tray He also love to yell at others, to his wife especially I can see that he had no respect to his wife, I feel pity for the old lady, she must be depressed for all these years Shame that old man ! I can say that my present job has the best boss, so far Not a boss actually, she is my supervisor in my team She is always helpful and supportive to us She is a good mentor and sometimes also felt like a sister, hahaa She also often asks us to join her for lunch When she is around, it'll always feel warm Those things always spirit me to come to the office everyday .. :D Thanks !!

We must be on the same page because I just posted about negativitiy and I am just so fraustrated with rude people. Negativity is a sign of ignorance in the worst way. It takes up so much energy to be negative. Negative people are never happy. I think they think if they smile and sayone nice thing they will melt. I just wish we could have a world wide holiday where people could notbe negative toward anyone for one day.

Hi Jo, I'm so sorry that you are having such a bad time with the admin. It seems so unfair that they should be allowed to come in a disrupt a whole staff like that. With all the problems you've suffered with, maybe that's what you should do. Go somewhere where youare appreciated. You don't need this. Hugssssssss leenie

I am at present working under the boss who is not only rude but insane and inhuman. He does not know anything about the work and always tries to haress the team. He tries and interferesin all the work and all the discussions but never helps anyone in any work.

That's a sign of unprofessionalism. You should write a petition letter to your mayor or the organization concerned. If all of you in the school will petition them , then they'll be the ones to transfer. There is no place for teachers who show bad examples to the students. Do something about it instead of running away from it and losing a job which you have come to lovce so much. Or you could report them to the media. I'm sure you can do something positive about it. Good luck and happy mylotting.

There are definitly different contexts to those words I had to consider. I mean, I have some negativity towards humanity and think things like euthenization are great; but to treat people like crap in petty ways like this are beyond me. I am going to school to become a teacher and it is pretty sad that people would treat teachers like this. There is not much more I can say on the issue, though. I have not had a legit boss so I can not say I've experienced something quite like this. I have dealt with people who have been ridiculous and mistreated me, in similar ways, though.

Yes a few times in the past i had some of my seniors outright rude to everyone. It looked like if rudeness is part of thier nature but ofcourse they used to be rude purposely - trying to show themselves better than others or superior. This is too stupid of those who do such things. If someone is superior in rank or other and then showing off thier status to others never make them more superior or better. This is what everyone could find out that someone is bragging off his status, etc and instead of becoming respectful , they become those whom everyone starts disliking altogether.

Hi, I think everyone of us encounter these type of NEGATIVE persons quite often.even at home,office,parties, there are no derths of these NEGATIVITY spreading people. Sometimes Boss,in-laws,peer, neighbour and so on.... Like Ur new Asst.Principal.what to do?Influence Ur POSITIVITY and expect some of his negativity to neutralise, otherwise wait patiently for his exit/transfer.Never looseUr cool & Positive -thinking. =Lahiri,Kolkata.India.

Negative thinking blocks progress and destroys the person who possess negative thoughts. For the time being they may enjoy but in the long run it wrecks the people. avoid such people

I've never worked with negative people like that before but I have been friendly to and lived with someone that was like that. It would get to the point where if they were having a bad day, they were and pushy to everyone around them, strangers or friends to make sure they ticked them off and made them have a bad day like they had. It is ridiculous.

I'm sorry you have to put up with this :( I a going through a similar situation-I am a preschool teacher at a daycare and 2 of our 3 administrators quit/moved away last year, so both of their positions were filled at the same time. The lady who filled the secretarial/accounting postition is very nice but the new programming director is HORRIBLE!!! She is rude and obnoxious, has been caught screaming at employees and parents, can't do a schedule to save her life, hired a friend of hers to cover hours we don't need to covered and then tried to cut the regular employees hours to create a job for this girl. This is only a short list of her screw-ups and she's only been there 4 months!!! For the life of me, I can't figure out why our director hasn't fired her. There are a bunch of us so few up we are getting ready to go over her head to the personnel comittee of our Board of Directors. Do you have something in place like that or are these rude people at your job the end of the line?

Hey cobrateacher! I am sorry that you are having so much trouble at your job! I had that problem too many times in my career so I do know exactly what you are talking about. I worked as a Legal Secretary and I can tell you that working for lawyers was the worst! The are the rudest most arrogant bunch on this planet! They would curse at you and belittle you and make you feel like you were garbage! This didn't just happen at one law firm, it happened at many! My last job was the one that nearly cost me my mental health altogether! I swore I would never work in that field again! I liked the work, but couldn't take the abuse! So I know where your coming from and how it can really make you end up hating your job and wanting to leave. I hope for your sake that it doesn't come to this.

Yes I worked 4 years for a Boss who was very though, she treated all of us like little kids who didn't know what we were doing. She reminded me of a Sister Superior I had in all girls school, that was as close to a Hitler that I had ever been. I stuck with it because jobs were scarce and when I quit she took me to lunch and praised me as one of the best employees she had ever had. I was shocked to say the least. I just goes to show how bad communication can be.

I have got a negative friend.He things he is the king and treat me like i am his servent sometimes.So he is not my friend anymore.He was trying to be so cool and that wasn't good.So i just ended my relationship with him.But i didn'T work for someone
