How to Survive a Negative Boss

Sunday

Instructions

Things You'll Need:
• Motivation
• Self esteem

Step 1
You arrive at work and your boss rips in to you for a minor mistake. Your day is absolutely ruined. To top it off your boss continues to put you down all day. Before you explode and make things worse consider what your motivation is?



Step 2
Analyze your self worth. You are what you think you are. Your boss may be filling your head with negative degrading comments, but it is what you think you are that counts. Try to think of the positive achievements that you have made and have gotten you to where you are now. By doing this you will develop a thick skin that will shield you from that negativity.


Step 3
Have a plan. How did your boss get into the position they are in? Think about returning to school to finish your degree. Think about ways of being promoted. Sometimes your boss has a boss too. DON'T let your bosses attitude get you into a depressive state that it starts to affect your work or home life.

Step 4
Get to know your boss. Ask questions about their life. Become familiar with them, show them you care. Say hello to them every morning. It may not stop the negativity but, you will be surprised on how it will make you feel. Never give up!
