How To Deal With A Crappy Boss??!!

strathd

I used to be a real dick to work for. Over the years i've learned that a happy crew is a productive crew. If I have someone on my crew that I have to bitch at he's gone. Dont need the stress it's a tough enough job as it is.

If the guys here sound something like the guys you work with when you complain, Your working in the wrong Industry! don't even apply for work at the home depot...Just quit while your still young.

If every one on Trevors crew is complaining as much as you are, Push Trevor in the cement mixer, bust your ass and learn something.

But since your Avatar is Bob the Builder...You might want to look into Sign flipping on a street corner.

Hello,

If you work in an organization then you have to follow rules and regulations but at the same time there should be some flexibility in schedules, strictness always make employees rigid and non co-opertive if you want best from your employee then give them bit of freedom.

I can only hope you were joking.

Attitudes like this is why OSHA exists. If there were no 'law' mandating that employers provide their workers a place to go to the bathroom or to provide them with water, you sound like you wouldn't bother.

Can't imagine your guys are too productive without lunch breaks or breaks. No breaks= more fatigue, slower employees, more mistakes, more injuries.

"Pee on your own time! I'm not payin' $10/hour so you can urinate!"

easy.... make the boss hurt in the wallet and he won't know what got him.

1) tire sidewalls with a 16d nail or some scribe/tap/center punch tool.

2) adhesive remover works great on auto paint with a coffee cup, they even have a arseol spray version now.

3) walk along side the entire length of bosses car with a large 3"+ screw and key it.

4) bb gun the bosses car windows when it's parked or rock it.

5) lean against the bosses car/truck mirror and rock it in up and down motion..it'll break off.

6) use 30# fishing line and tie bosses tail pipe to a pole or something... once it takes off...... hahahahah!!

7) use water shutoff tool and turn off water at boss's house

8) call up his utility/garbage company and discontinue/suspend service on his behalf

9) order take out/pizza and deliver to his house every night or every so often, each time calling a different place...

10) put an ad in a newspaper somewhere and have women call his home/wifes cell.

extra tips to not get caught red-handed

a) any telephone tactics shall be used using a payphone or pre-paid cell and when possible not use your own voice, get someone else to call.

b) the cover of darkness / stealth is key in getting the job done and not caught.... also a great idea to mess with the boss if you know your coworker or someone in the office just had a argument or failling out..

Exactly. Next time he yells at you tell him "I don't know who you think you're yelling at because I don't see your wife or your kids anywhere."

If he fires you, good for you. If you honestly want to learn a trade, there are enough decent folk out there who are willing to teach you without the BS.

If he punches you, sweet. Punch him back or sue him.

Most likely he'll back down once he realizes he can't treat you like a dog. If he doesn't, move on... it's not worth the aggravation. The easiest, least confrontational way is to just take it... but then you're going to keep taking it for as long as you work for him.

Respect is earned. The employee-employer relationship doesn't mean 'you're lucky to have a job!" and "I can treat you however I want just because I pay you!" But there are a lot of bully's in this trade - probably because they were bullied themselves and took it rather than stand up for themselves - and that's how they think a boss/foreman/journeyman should act.

Is money really worth being mistreatment and abuse?
