How should you handle a horribly abusive boss?

1. Get a different job? dc

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. I'm sorry, but that is not a poll option.

[david13]

13. Don't be sorry. I know. I didn't say it was. dc

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. I'm not really sorry.

[Flying Dream Blues]

3. I voted for weasel face, 45 seconds because I always like to take

the diplomatic approach whenever possible. You know, walk a mile in his moccasins and all that.

[LeftyFingerPop]

4. You are a nice person.

[rug]

5. Where is the Take A Shit Then Hold His Fucking Face In The Toilet option?

You're getting soft.

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. That would be very harsh.

7. Eat everything off the Taco Bell menu, then shove his head in after that

boss trouble? It's amazing how some people will act when they have a title or are in a position of some authority....

yet they can still bleed.....

11. Corrolary to my rule:

"Some people should never be in charge of another human being." Probably not their fault, don't (always) make 'em bad people, even if they are family to the owners..... I had to explain to one of 'em "You know, it is possible to transmit mental illness without having symptoms yourself" He was'nt manovelent, but he was "the dumbest man in 5 states" - a non-machinist running a machine shop, could not manage to check a decimal dimension with a tape measure.

9. With kid gloves...

...but only if you can't get the latex type.
Fingerprints, you know.
:evilgrin:

[bluesbassman]

10. Um but Lefty, aren't you self employed?

:rofl:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

18. He's his own worst enemy

:spank:

[Bucky]

12. Give him strong unconditional love.

Then send his wife the pictures.

[Nikia]

15. I try to get him to do go away as soon as possible

Even letting him blame me for things I have no control over. I don't like being a coward, it often feels like this: An armed robber beats me up and the holds a knife to my throat so I give him my wallet and jewelry so he will stop hurting and won't kill me.

16. Ask for a raise.

Watch his head explode.

Smile.

[Vidar]

17. Cement tennis shoes.

19. If it was the UK, I'd get everything documented...

... then quit and sue the boss for constructive dismissal.

Most likely that kind of lawsuit would get won quite easily.

However this being the good ol' US of A, I guess I'd have to call in for backup, and "work to order" - meaning I would work exactly and totally to the letter of that boss and any employment agreement that exists, written or otherwise... and oh of course documenting everything for the sake of a potential lawsuit.
