Let us face it. We would all love to have a great boss who motivates, help s and inspires, but most of us either have worked or will work for a bad boss one time or another. So learn how to deal with a bad boss.
Here are a few practical things you can do to deal with your boss without jeopardizing your job. First, grow up. Stop thinking that your only options are to complain or keep bearing your boss; complaining shows that you are not mature enough to handle people. If you are looking to get promoted into a managerial role, then people management is the number one skill you need to develop. Second, face your boss. You hold 50% of the blame for your boss’s behavior because you are actually training him to behave the way he does by not discouraging his current behaviours. It is time to tech him a new lesson. The next time he asks you to do secretarial work or to step out of the office, you must let him know that you do not mind helping him out, but his request make you feel more like a secretary than an engineer. Do not get angry or upset, just tell him like it is, calmly, confidently and politely. I know he would not like hearing this, but if you consistently send him this message, then he will get used to it just like he got used to bossing you around.
