Good/Bad Boss - The Orange Room

MissLaymoune · 12:45 AM

every employee may have one grievance,an impossible or eccentric BOSS !!! they have become somehow common factors in grumbling employee's lives :S ( ask me :D) . But dealing with 'em is a professional necessity :)

There are as many types of human characters as there are people and bosses are no exception :S

P.S: While dealing with bosses it is better that u know that some of the eccentric traits may have brought him to where he is now :)

1. The Shouting Boss: The psychology of shouting bosses is that they can get the things done only by shouting. They don’t mind shouting at anyone, anywhere. Although shouting is a sign of impatience, it is also because they want to be recognized on the spot. Satisfying their ego by listening to them calms them down. Further, executing their instructions will get them your respect.

2. The Scheming Boss: He is the most dangerous of them all, always plotting to fire one person or the other. They are highly manipulative while being extremely intelligent, highly motivated and focused. His way to the top is through firing workers which he says is benefiting the company; in reality he is worried about protecting himself and his position. Being honest and acting with extreme care is the best policy when dealing with this type of boss.

3. The Just-A-Minute Boss: He is an impatient man but not rude. He wants everything to be done on the fly. He has many things in his head while talking to you and so may be unable to grasp anything you said. The next day he may surprise you with a ‘you-didn’t-tell-me-this’. These types hardly complete any tasks, so be prepared for big workloads at anytime. Keeping evidence of your communications (possibly through emails), or completing the communication/task on the spot is better.

4. The Bumbling Boss: This junk head is trying to hide his inadequacies behind big talk and other diversions. Although he is rather harmless, he is neither a good leader nor an inspiring one. Just because he has reached a higher position above you, he might also get a sense of false prestige. Occasionally showing his mistakes in disguise of guarding him and guiding him is your best bet.

5. The Fear Monger: The attrition rate of this boss is high because of the fear and psychosis he creates. No one wants to continue working with him; often he fires them himself before they can quit, because he thinks fear is the only way to motivate employees to work. Changing your job, and fast, is the way to deal with him hehehe :)

These are just a few of the dominant personality traits that you may find during your career. You need to be aware of them in order to preserve both your job and your sanity! BEST WISHES :D

OH!! during 3 years of work i had different feelings for him!
On his arrival to his new position as our direct boss in the company he instantly gave everyone a 400$ raise! It was heaven around here and he stayed the best boss ever for the entire first year, and i was his favorite:D!
the second year was a catastrophy between us (him and myself) coz "3ar2al" my move to another company and he did not even kept his promises wich i stayed for!!! I saw devil in him!
the third year is/was (its coming to an end) much better, nothing special.. i just really respect and admire him!

Good for you

... not everyone's that lucky.

My boss had a fight with his "second in command". It has been poisoning the atmosphere ever since... many employees took side. I and a few others made sure to stay neutral. But lately, he's been giving me all the hard work and keeping me late at night, while others who already took his side get all the easy work and leave early. I guess he thinks i took a side too and therefore is making sure to ruin my life "men ta7t la ta7t".... and i'm keeping quiet, until now. The other employee (One of the boss's "babies") who does the same work as i do, always gets to the office before me and assigns to herself the easy stuff on purpose (with his blessing of course)......... wlek ufffffffff

I'm thinking of taking some real action.... starting monday, ma ba2a ra7 temro2!!
