Deal With an Arrogant Boss

Arrogance is defined as conceit, self-loving and egotistic. In general, arrogance is self-confidence on drugs. Many employers do not know the distinction between supervising and controlling. Arrogant bosses never gain employees' respect. Arrogant bosses are viewed as dictators, insensitive, rulers and tyrants. Working with this type of boss can have negative effects on the quantity and quality of work generated by employees.



Things to keep in mind:

* Understand that an arrogant boss will not be a team player. Therefore, suspicion of everything and everyone will consume the arrogant boss' work day.

* Be prepared for constant changes in office rules. Arrogant bosses do not play by the company rules. The most minuscule problem will be blown into something colossal. Always meet deadlines. Be professional and punctual.

* Look for another job or transfer. Be sure to ask for references from a trustworthy source. Be careful. An arrogant boss will view a job search as a betrayal.

* Play to win. Learn the likes and dislikes of the boss. Become knowledgeable. Take classes if necessary to become an invaluable asset to the department.

* Elude confrontation. Avoid doing things that will cause negative reactions. Always keep detail written notes of negative situations.

* Contact the human resources department. It has trained personnel to deal and advise on employment issues.

Whatever happens just keep in mind, your boss is not the last person on earth. Keep enjoying the work and opportunities will come up.
