When Your Boss Does Not Like YouFriday, August 25, 2006There are many reasons why a manager may not like you. If you are a slacker, your boss usually knows it. If you are difficult, everyone who works with you knows it. What if you are a good performer and you have been told by other managers and colleagues that they value you? What if the problem is with your boss and not you? Managers are people who like most of us do not like everyone. I have managed many people of different ilk. I am a people person. My wife says that I like everyone. I wish that were true, it would make my job easier. Just because you are the boss does not ensure that you always like everyone. It is actually humanly impossible. It is possible to treat your employees equal and fairly, despite your personal feelings. As a manager you are required to separate your feelings from business. This is what I was taught years ago and it has helped me immensely. What I have observed is different. Managers often react to employees that they really dislike in an inappropriate way. It is more pervasive than I once thought. I have seen great performing employees suffer the tyranny of a boss who just doesn't like them for whatever reason. If you feel like your boss does not like you and there is no basis for it, you have a big problem. You are a victim. There is only one thing you can do. Fire your boss. Go find another job and work for someone who appreciates you. You have no choice. If you stay and hope things will get better, you will find that they will only get worse. The problem is not you, but with your boss. You can't change your boss and you should never compromise your values in an attempt to make him happy. There are plenty of bad bosses out there; however, there are also great bosses. Go find yourself a great boss and stop the madness. You deserve nothing less. posted at 8/25/2006 05:37:00 PM |
