Follow on Google News | With a Horrible Boss, Your Attitude is EverythingThe release of “Horrible Bosses 2” on November 26 is a reminder that horrible bosses are still pervasive in the workplace and that nothing workers can do or say will make their bad bosses change their lousy attitude or behavior.
“If you hope that your horrible boss is going to suddenly change his attitude and start treating everyone fairly and appropriately, you’ll be constantly disappointed and frustrated,” Nelson offers these attitude adjustment suggestions to help turn things around. --Drop the “poor me” attitude and step up to the plate. Be there for your co-workers, help and support all of them, including the boss’s “favorites.” --Look for solutions rather than whining about problems. --Believe in yourself, in your abilities, in your skills and talents no matter what your bad boss says. Have faith that you can do what the job requires. --Take the initiative. When you see an opportunity to act or contribute, do so. Offer ideas and suggestions for how to do things better. --Always do your work well. Apply yourself to the task at hand and get it done properly. --Do a good job because it’s satisfying to you. You won’t get an acknowledgement of good work from you bad boss so it has to come from within. “Now use this new attitude to get what you want from your bad boss,” says Nelson. “One of a bad boss’s greatest fears is that people will find out that he’s terrible at what he does. Make him look competent. Your problem-solving attitude will bail him out of mess after mess. He’ll take all the credit for your good work, which is frustrating, but he’ll also lean on you more because you’ve become valuable to him. You can ask for—and get—resources, bonuses and the support your co-workers only dream of. Not only that, but you’ll be building on your experiences and successes for the time when your boss eventually leaves or there is an opportunity to move to a better position within the company or another job opens up elsewhere.” For tips on working with specific bad boss types, go to http://www.noellenelson.com, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ End
