Mean bosses. Got one? Had one?
Why do people have to be so mean? Who knows. I think people who take their unhappiness out on others especially at work are like those people who pick up a gun and randomly shoot innocent people. Does this make sense?
Understandably some bosses are under tremendous pressure. No excuses but true. We all have so many things going in our lives and inside ourselves. My pastor says that hurting people hurt people. Not an excuse by any means but most of the time this is it.
Obviously if your boss is yelling and cursing at you in front of others or in private it's time to leave that job. No matter how much power or money they have it's not necessary.
I know...I have experienced many different scenarios in my years of working and witnessed some horrible things. Your quality of life means more than the paycheck. Yes, we all need the money. Do I know, I have a mortgage to pay for. If you can't leave just yet, work out a plan to get it in motion.
If you have to endure just think that maybe they have a bad case of constipation or they are so jealous of you they can't stand it! You know what I mean. My mom always says I just say they must be crazy, poor thing.
Being like a duck and letting it roll off your back is best. Don't take it in...just do your job to your best ability and smile like you know something they don't!
Wishing you great days ahead!
