Poll of the Week: Dealing With a Bad Boss

Monday March 13, 2006
Do you have a bad boss? Almost everyone does have a bad boss at one time or another. And, when you have a bad boss, a bad boss is a significant factor in most people's lives. There are two kinds of bad bosses. One doesn't know they're bad. The other is bad to the bone. Take a look at my article about bad bosses: Bad to the Bone: Dealing With a Bad Boss. Then, take my poll.

Poll: If you had a bad boss, what actions would you most likely take?

Here’s how I dealt w/ a nasty medical office manager and doctor who suspended me without informing me of how long I would be out: I lickety-split used all my connections to get a better job, gave no notice, told my new doctor’s office my notice was the time I was suspended for, and am loving the fact that they have yet (it’s been going on four mos.) to find a nurse to replace me! They thought I was at home crying when I was really networking my ass off!! Karma really bit them in the butt, as it will do when you try to frame an innocent person. Ha ha!!! -Laughing it up in Athens, GA

I will no longer deal with a bad boss…there is no reason for a bad boss or the expectation that you should put up with it.
