How to deal with a difficult boss At some point in our working lives we all have to deal with a boss that’s being difficult. How you cope in this situation can make all the difference to the outcome. The difference can be as great as staying in a job and improving the situation or having to leave. Being happy at work is of course extremely important and unhappiness can lead to stress, a fall off in performance and worsening problems with the boss. Don’t take it personally If you have to deal with a difficult boss, you should check that you’re not simply being too sensitive to the situation. It could be that he or she is just extremely busy and feel you’re interrupting them too much. Some bosses don’t always have the time to be as pleasant as you might imagine they should be. Good luck!
