I'm pissed off with my boss!

The important thing here is he is your boss. He has that position for whatever reason he earned it and if his performance is not up to scratch it will soon become apparent to those he answers to. It does seem strange that he is trying to change the status quo because he should be able to see that his policies are not working as well as the policies that were in place before he arrived. Maybe you need to form a delegation and go over his head or just ask him if you can all have a meeting then sit down and explain to him the situation from your viewpoint. Just so you know, having a negative attitude does not help matters at all.

If you can talk to him respectfully (as a team) you mifght do it. But if he is placed there by a higher authority, you will have to wait until he discovers that he is dealing with a different culture.

thats why he is the boss. we say here in mexico. If you dont like what the boss does move on. because today, tomorrow or next week he is the boss. Sorry you dont like him, but thats the way it goes. Hope it gets better for you there.

While your boss is not doing things to your liking, he still is your boss. And if he is really doing as poorly as you say, the company would let him go. Unfortunately, you just need to find a way to adjust to how your boss does things.

Perhaps you can talk to him in a professional and objective manner. Ask him questions. A word to the wise: A man from a western culture, despite the western being more equal to women, still won't listen to others very well. Especially when he is in a leadership role. So, the best way to get through to him is to ask him questions. Ask him if he really is interested in understanding the local market needs. Does he want what is best for the local market and thus, for your company. In other words, he may be a 'butt in the head', but butting against him won't work. So, my suggestion is if you can't get through to him but asking him questions to help him understand your local ways, is to talk to his boss or find a new job in which your boss understands your country, culture and local market needs better.

I think you've already labelled him as an egomania,so it is eaisly for you to judge his way of handling matters subjectively.This is the first of my point of view.The second is,no matter what he has decided,you need to support him as he is always your boss before you quit the job.Try to learn to be just his echo but when you can get along well,you can talk to him in a soft way to express some of your ideas.Do not show your dissatisfaction directly or he would think you just want to be against him. Do remember if you want to convince someone,try your best to let him rely on your ability first.Good luck to you,hope all the best. Happy new year.

If I have that kind of boss who is not open minded at all then I would rather transfer in another company already which is way better for me. It is hard to deal with a person who has too much pride who would insist their own tradition. Aside from that there are Westerners who really look down on Filipinos like us the one that they can easily manipulate.

I think the best thing to do here is for your team talk to him. Talk not regarding the work but how he is as a leader. As for reaching your goals, it is a team effort. And your team leader is a part of your team. Communication is the best way to deal with this.

Well firstly from your discussion it is not clear of which country you are talking about, only that you have a western boss who does not understand the needs of your country. But wherever you are located, if things go out of hand - It will be better to Change the Boss, before the Boss changes You.
