One thing that makes life at work hard and challenging is having a difficult boss. They can come in many forms and kinds. Some of them are bullies and always ready to go on rampage, while there are others who are content to giving snide remarks. Others are just overflowing with arrogance, while there are also others who are not really helpful and prefer sitting at their desk and just telling what everybody should do.

When worst gets to worst, it may be a good idea to just quit your job and be rid of your boss. However, before you decide to do so, you should know that there are certain things that you can do to make your boss’ treatment towards you better, or at least tolerable.

Make an honest analysis of yourself. Are you sure that the boss is just trying to bully you, or have you perhaps made or forgotten to make or submit something?

Be proactive. This means that you have to stay positive even though your boss is being difficult. This can be downright hard, but having a plan of action surely helps.

Have a plan or action ready. Knowing how your boss behaves is a good way of preparing for the onslaught of his or her bad behaviour. Here, you can think about what you can do when the boss tries to bully you or makes rude comments about you.

Stay professional. Even though you are already at the point of breaking, remain calm and treat your boss with professionalism. Show him or her that when he or she can’t be civil, you can. This alone should make you feel better about yourself, and your boss disappointed and embarrassed about his or her behaviour.

Be consistent. People don’t change their behaviour overnight, so don’t expect your boss to have a sudden change of heart soon after a discussion. The point here is to remind the boss consistently that his or her bad behaviour is not acceptable, and you have to make this point clear every single day if needed.

Keep a journal of the boss’ bad behaviours. Make a list of all things abusive and unprofessional. Take note of the facts, not just your reactions or opinions. This helps you to carefully analyze your boss’ behaviour and hopefully use this knowledge to get to know him or her better.

Know when enough is enough. If you can bear with it, or if it happens once a month, then it is probably still tolerable. If it happens on a daily basis, then it is time to confront your boss.

Don’t risk your health over the matter. Dealing with a difficult boss can be really stressful. If the stress is causing your physical and emotional health to deteriorate, then you had better talk to him or her, or get the higher ups involved.

Don’t lose your self-esteem. Terrible bosses can bring your self-esteem crashing to the ground. If you feel like your personality is being stepped on, now is the time to confront him or her.

Don’t go up to the human resource office just yet. Think of the HRO as a last resort.

Encourage your boss’ good behaviour with praise. It may sound easier to criticize your boss’ bad behaviours, but remember that they are also human and have the need to feel appreciated sometimes. Maybe this way, you can get to his or her good side and may even be the start of a better working relationship.
