Dealing with demeaning bosses
I have learned that you must first learn how to read your bosses mood before discuss anything.
Reality is that sometimes an unimportant issue can raise a conflict (most likely I wasn't able to read the mood) and your boss can end up using a bad selection of words such as "you'll sound like a retard" or "that's so stupid". Most likely I will read that as a personal attack and worsen the situation... after reflecting the issue and being out of the hype of the momentum, I realize that situation could have been easily avoided.
Solution: Stay Away! If you can't read your boss mood, avoid raising issues.
Any suggestions?
I think that just as I don't like to be critized by something that I said with out thinking I would not like to make comments about someone else either especially my boss, we all have our days.
I agree that in order to maintain a professional environment and in order to be productive, reading your bosses moods is imperative. However, I do feel it frustrating when a bosses moods are so drastic and I have important issues to address that I can't approach them until their mood is different. How is that productive or even professional management????
