best way to deal with t*#t bosses

[ipf]

I am not suggesting you are a --- at all, but he may feel it his end

Suggestions about ---- and feeling his end is one way of looking at it, I suppose :38:

Secure another job, wait till he belittles you again then pin him to the wall and destroy his character in front of all his work mates proceed to his boss and hand your resignation in expressing that your mentor had big issues with you because you questioned the poor quality and incorrect methods used in his own work and say his aggressive belittling nature does nothing to help you learn as you are determined to do.... Leave the firm knowing the ripple you leave will pay back for all the crap and if your lucky the MD will stop you and bargain a deal for you to stay.


PS been there done that and even got smacked by the boss...(long before modern times where you are wrapped in cotton wool)... stayed 20yrs and put up with his and his sons crap but when it was the right time I left and took all their Industrial business with me - as they had no one who could do it once I left.... it was the day I always remember when I handed my notice in and saw the panic on their faces. I said that's what you get when you don't appreciate your employee's and treat them like dirt!.. The firm is struggling so Ive heard as it was the profits I made that covered the losses in the domestic side lol KARMA!

But why should I have to leave because of him. Its him that should be pushed out of the door. He has threatened my job before, just after I started, by saying that unless I stepped up to the mark I would be out of the door.

Plant a kilo of coke in his car? Sure way to get him sacked. He can't come to work if he's in prison suspected of dealing

So just looking for some advice as above.

I work in an office and have a senior engineer above me who feels that it is acceptable to speak to me in an aggressive and degrading manner who puts unnecessary pressure on me to complete tasks as fast as possible and then getting arsy when its not up to standard.

I have been in the industry for over 13 years and can honestly say that I have never been spoken to in this way even when I was on the tools as an apprentice (some would say I was lucky). The point is I am now an adult and expect to be spoken to with respect and NOT be treated like a child.

It is meant to be a professional environment but is far from it.

I took the job a few months ago and was told that I would have a senior engineer above me who would act as a mentor. But it is more like an old headmaster at a bording school who tries to crack the whip.

I have raised it my the Manager who told me that he does not understand why I have so much pressure put on me when I am still training and that he thinks that the senior engineer is just trying to throw his weight around as he has never been a manager before (and still isn't) and is trying to be one.

The Senior Engineer never says please or thank you and demands me to get out of my chair and 'come here'.

I will admit that I have started been more abrupt with him and answering back when he speaks to me like crap which prob infuriates him when the office is full but to be honest it infuriates me when he speaks to me like that in a full office.

I have found a number of errors in his work and pulled him up on it which he doesn't like but other ppl have agreed with him. Others in the office agree that its not acceptable how I am spoken to either.

Is it time to jump ship as I don't think ppl can really change and I need to be able to get on with him in order to learn but I find it very frustrating and its causing me to get stressed. I'm only young with a young family to think about.

I don't want to leave as I generally like it there and have only been there a few months and it wouldn't look good on my cv.

I took a massive pay cut to go work there as i was told that I would be trained up by a mentor and that it would be a good working environment with a good work life balance. I'm finding that not to be the case.

Any advice please

Yeah! Take a lump hammer to his teeth!....... Only kidding, I agree with shanky's post #11 except for the police bit.

I am pleased I work for myself and do my own work .i spent some time once in an office environment and I couldn't get on with it , soon went back out on the tools and away from that environment , I get on better with customers and lads on the ground than people like that...

I've been in a similar stuation once or twice and always found that shaking the offender warmly by the throat is pretty effective in acheiving a modification of the offenders behaviour.
