A tyrant boss can make your life extremely difficult, but there are ways to get such a boss to leave you alone.

Steps

  1. 1 Write it down. It is very important. When your boss says or does something inappropriate, write to him about the behavior that distracts you from work and you want to stop. If this happens again, write again and copy it to your boss or HR manager.
  2. 2 Contact the department responsible for ethics or employer-employee relations. Such contacts should be kept confidential, but small companies may not have such departments. If there is a possibility, then such a contact will help you in the future to track the duration of your complaints.
  3. 3 Talk to someone you trust to help you sort out your thoughts. Try not to just vent your anger. Remain calm and sort out the situation.
  4. 4 If your boss continues to bully, update your resume and start looking for another job.
  5. 5 Recognize early signs that it is time to leave - any illness, physical or mental. If you let the bullying continue, you will have to spend more on drugs than you earn. Having decided to leave, write a letter of resignation 2 weeks in advance.
  6. 6 Try to find a backup job by the time you leave. Be prepared for your boss to ask you to quit immediately.

Tips

  • Some executives feel that the very fact that you work for them gives them the right to talk to you as they please, especially if you are not doing very well. When this happens for the first time, politely admit your mistake and ask not to speak disrespectfully to you.
  • Don't talk about your personal life - don't discuss what you do outside of work, much less looking for a new one.
  • Do not team up against your boss with other colleagues, no matter how much they sympathize with you. They can convey your words to him.
  • No matter how angry you are, never say anything that can be regarded as a threat, otherwise you may get into trouble with the security or government officials.
  • Try to document everything, because documentary records may also be kept against you.
  • Make sure you have an escape plan and think about what to do if you have to leave.
  • Remember that you are human first and foremost, so if the bullying continues, find another job.
  • Try to find an opportunity to transfer to another unit. If you are a good employee, most will favor this option so that the company does not lose you due to the personal dislike of the manager.

Warnings

  • Outbursts of anger or "speaking out" can only exacerbate any situation.
