C'mon everyone! I hate my boss because . . .

Let's vent! Happy reports not allowed.

I hate my boss because she has no life and doesn't understand why we can't be on call 24/7. I hate her for treating me like a secretary instead of a professional. I hate that she considers working from home taking a day off.

I hate my boss because he is a narcissistic misogynist. He's also got a Napoleon complex. I am trying to get the hell out of here and far far away from this d-bag.

She doesn't allow me to telework and never speaks to me!

I think the idea of hating a boss is stupid. you are not a child in elementary school, who hates the teacher assigning home work. you are an adult. if your boss is not a good boss to work with, behave like an adult and find another job. if there are reasons for your to stay, then accept your decision and stay. sometimes "hating your boss" is just a way to stall and project on somebody else your own inability to face a situation. instead of wasting time hating the fact that your boss has no life (who cares), be proactive and change yours if you do not like it as it is.

Says a boss who has underlings who detest her.

Getting a new job is not an easy feat.

still 10:46. before I get flamed, just to clarify that I had my share of friends who spent years complaining about their mean bosses (or spouses) but did not move a finger to go somewhere else. they were afraid to take risks, change their life, they were venting but at the end they did not want to change anything. everything was their boss (or spouse)'s fault and there was nothing they could do.

As a reminder, IP addresses are traceable, not only by Jeff but your IT departments can see where you post. Just an FYI for people posting smack about their boss on their employers' time.

Wait, what? Normal people without NSA like powers can trace an IP address?

no. I am an employee, I have never been a boss (I would not be able to be one, I would not be able to "discipline" or give less than stellar evaluations to other people, hire or fire other people -as an example, a friend recently interviewed several nannies and hired one, to me it would have been impossible to interview several people and have to choose one and tell the others no).

getting a new job is not easy, but my experience is that some people end up sitting in a bad situation forever ( can be a bad boss, or a bad marriage) and instead of focusing on their power to change their life, and go to the pain of actually changing it, they are maybe afraid and settle for what they have because it takes less energy and pain than trying to change it, and as a coping mechanism they focus their energy on "hating" the other person (boss, spouse). in short, it is easier to hate your boss or spouse than to take charge and try to change things.
