My workplace had a training titled "how to deal with a troublesome manager" as well as another one that was "how to deal with difficult bosses"macaroonie wrote:How do you deal with such a boss?
Sounds exactly like one boss I had. 100% local, completely authoritative. Very educated, a PhD holder from a very established Scottish university. Made life a living hell for his employees. The solution? We all leftmacaroonie wrote:How many people have direct local bosses? What is your experience?
Anyone work with one of those completely authoritative bosses who want it their way only and really doesn't care about his people? He is not interested in the welfare of his people but simply his own agenda
How do you deal with such a boss?
My boss is Malaysian Chinesebeppi wrote:The two best bosses I ever had (out of approx. 15) were, probably coincidentally, both Malaysian Chinese. The two worst were Westerners, and your description perfectly matches one of them (the other one didn't care about anything, just forwarded blame when things went wrong).
Nice idea but you won't know much about the people part until you are on board for a considerable period of time.macaroonie wrote:Thanks heaps for sharing your experiences. Sometimes i think there is a lack of a specific skill set and hence the boss we have is by default, not because they are the most suitable. I am not sure if those higher up have a big enough backbone to do something, do asians have that culture?? i dont see it happening often. It is really demoralising when one's boss doesnt have the team's best interest at heart and is the cause of the problems, rather than helping to solve problems.
When a new boss is appointed, those higher above should also assess the boss's performance, and the best way to do this is to ask the subordinates, but i have never heard this being done before - has anyone?
And after awhile working, i tend to pick a job because of the people and not necessarily just the paycheck size - what do you all think?
Say the words out loud and hear what letters they sound like. For example, "see" when you say it out loud sounds like the letter "C". I'll let you work out the rest yourself...macaroonie wrote:Sorry nutnut i dont follow, what do you mean by 'see you next tue?"
