Brazen Careerist hits a home run. Yesterday, the Brazen Careerist advised readers to be nice to crabby bosses. That didn't go over too well. But, last time I looked she had about 800 comments. Wow! Here's a good one.
"Yeh, this lady is clueless about working with some psycho-ego tripping boss!! Let me give all of you some better advice. If you have a boss and their job has gone to their head and they thrive on making everyone else miserable, fight back!
"Talk with other people and see if the whole office feels that way; if they do, its time for combat. During lunch and breaks gather together, exclude the boss of course, and make whispers and jokes about your boss and laugh out loudly while looking their way.
"Make plans in front of your boss to get together outside of work and exclude the boss.
Phone the boss and then quickly hang up. This is especially great when the boss is walking towards their office and they start running to get the phone and then it hangs up.
"Bring the boss brownies and lace them with Ex-lax. Drop something rotten behind the boss's bookshelf -- it should stink up their office in no time.
"If all else fails, quit when a major project is due or at a busy time in the month without giving notice. Good Luck!"
BC is one of my favourite writers but her readers on Yahoo! are a wild bunch. A more unhappy crew you've never met. Funny too. The comments are hilarious and I could read them all day.
