Things You Should Do If You Hate Your Boss
Don’t show up. If you woke up at the wrong side of the bed and the idea of seeing the face of your boss will only ruin your day, decide not to show up at work. Who cares if you will incur deductions on your salary or leave credits? It is more bearable than torturing yourself for more than eight hours a day.
Pretend. Your workplace is your second home and the people you work with are your second family. The only difference between the two is that family is permanent while work is replaceable. If you have no means to shift jobs, better find a way to convince your internal being to pretend that you like your boss. Maybe, your hatred towards your supervisor is only situational. Wait for the tide to calm, who knows, your relationship with your manager might prosper given the right opportunity.
Empathize. Your boss is only human. Just like you, he is not a perfect creature from heaven. Some people were raised differently and their environment may have molded their behaviors uniquely. The best way to calm your anger towards your boss is to understand or to empathize his condition. Ignore his imperfections, just highlight his good qualities.
Eye for an eye. Depending on your country, there are laws protecting employees against abusive managers. Consult your friends and family regarding these matters. They can refer you to a lawyer who specializes on labor laws. Labor cases are emotionally stressful; make sure that your family and friends are always there to give you a pat on the shoulder. Never consult a co-worker unless you really trust them. Besides, this is your fight and involving your co-workers in a work-related conflict may not be good for them.
