Your the boss!

#1 try not to do anything wrong. work real hard & pay attention to what u are doing so he want have any reason to get onto you.he is not very professional by getting on to you in front of the other employees,he is trying toprove something he's not. he may feel as insecure as u do, maybe more. i would prove to him i could do a good job. if i did & he kept on keeping on i'd ask for a private talk w/him & see what the problem is. i hope things work out for u. sounds to me like u must intimidate him .jobs are so hard to find.

In the first place, let us assume that your boss is not your employer; that he is equally employed just like you. We have to take into account that you two are co-workers but have different roles to play in that organisation. I think it would not do harm if you acted up to him and asked him what they problem is. As long as you know you are doing the right thing, that which you were hired to do, you need not worry and be held back by this bullying boss. Just give him a very good piece of your mind. I think it would be ok to be open-minded. You can simply tell him that you are not happy with his attitude, but put this in a better language. Don't be too succinct. If he is not insensitive to criticism, he is going to appreciate.

It can be difficult to work under a non appreciative always critizing boss. Since you otherwise seem to enjoy your work, you may need to evaluate yourself from the perspective of growth and how well you have done otherwise in the organisation. If there does not seem to much in this area then the option which you may feel at some time is to find something else. If you have been doing otherwise well, it may be possible to try and understand why your boss does that and talk to him about it. BTW is the boss permanent or does that change over a period of time, because if it does the maybe some amount of patience will help.

well my dear welcome to the reality of office life,you must always have it at the back of your mind that you are conly a darling to ypour boss when you are making him some good money .most bosses dont have the interest of their staffs at heart .likewise its so easy for people to remember those mistakes we make rather than the good things wer ever did.but this also does not mean he hates you but try to be as efficient as you can at work

Your boss doesn't know how to be a good boss and motivate his people. Your company must lose a lot of employees. Have you talked to him about this? Tell him people would be more motivated if he'd praise them for the good and talk privately to them about mistakes. Of course, if this will get you fired you might think about looking for another job!

Your boss is being very rude and disrespectful to reprimand you in front of other staff members. He should take you aside and discuss the matter in private, giving you a chance to explain. If you love your job, I'm afraid you'll just have to put up with him - and maybe you can speak to other staff members for hints on how to get your work done in a way which might please the boss more. They probably don't like him either - so you might all be in the same boat!

Have you tried to speak to your boss , do you feel he would in anyway be approachable to tell him how much you love your job but how he makes you feel inadequated when he critizes you in front of others ? It often seems that those who take the time to critize others for what they are doing wrong are the same people who don't bother to take the time to notice when someone does a good job . I wish I had more to offer but other then talking to him about his attitude , I am not sure what else you could do to better the situation . Maybe he doesn't realize that he does this and if someone pointed it out he would pay more attention to what he does . It is possible that he does value you as an employee and wouldn't want to lose you and if you explained to him how he was affecting you which will eventually affect your job preformance that he would try to be less critizing and more willing to be positive . Best of Luck

Hi there torchablazed! It's a painful fact that we cannot please everyone. There are bosses that simply do not find our efforts enough to be praised. There are times when all they see are the negative things and magnify them to a certain extent. They do not see the good things we do. There are also those who see the good things we do but act as if they don't. Perhaps because they are not really that good in expressing such emotion. But you know what? It still pays off to do what is right not only for your own sake but for your company as well.

torchablazed you have my sympathy. my boss was a woman, and she would summon us into her office, ask you to sit down, then close the door, and all the time you arewondering now what the heck did i do? sometimes it wasnt bad, just wanted to know if I wo uld work some extra hours. other times it was about myhaving said a cuss word or oh sh**t, well now that would tee me off as a lot of the staff came out loud with that one, but somehow as I was older she thought it was not good, so I had to bit my tongue a bit on that one.. she fired me for being eighty. ageism but I didnt want to fight her. she was fired a week after that, she and her second in command for indiscrimate firing for no good reason.

hi torchablazed if doing something wrongreally teesoff your boss, why not try to do it really well and make hjim praise you? You seem to think that he ought to praise you for makeing errors but why would he do that as he doesnt want his employees making something wrong. ask him for some directions to make things go right and smoothly for your. Your boss would be so pleased to do that for you.,Ask him please not to reprimand you in front of others and also teach you just how he wants things done. if you like your job play up to the boss just enough to get on the same page with him. He might just start treating you with more respect and that would be so nice would it not.

You might try getting your boss alone and telling him that if he has to reprimand you he should do so in private. If you have done something he doesn't like that should be between him and you, not everyone else. Too many bosses in the world are like yours, they only notice the bad things and never compliment you on a job well done.
