How to handle rude boss

All of us go through a situation wherein your boss is just so rude with you. He does not want to listen to your problems. Sometimes your boss will be very manipulative. Sometimes he will be loading you with lot of work. Sometimes your boss just does not like your face and hence he always tries to find faults with you and always be angry and rude with you. Even if you give your best at your workplace, for your boss it  is just worthless. He will never appreciate your efforts. Conversely he will get along well with other people in the office who lick his boots.

I have personally gone through such situation and when I got to know that everyone at some point of time face such rude boss in the company, organisation or office, I decided to put my thoughts about how to handle such rude boss.

Rude Boss

I am listing down some of the best ways to handle rude boss in the office below.

• If your boss is loading you with lot of pressure - In such situations, you have to explain him that with so much work, You can not balance your work and personal life. Also quality of work is getting degraded due to overload. Actually when your boss asks for any estimations of efforts, you must give inflated estimations. So even if he tries to reduce the estimations, You can finish the task comfortably. you need to set his expectation every time he gives you more tasks.
• If your boss is a micro-manager - Let me first explain what micro-manager means. After every half an hour or so your boss pings you and asks the work status. Sometimes it is very irritating because you can not spend time for some other personal activities like speaking on phone or if you have some other personal task that is more important and must be done on priority. In such kind of situations, you   can request your boss that he should not ask you for regular updates. But you will give him work updates after say considerable time when you have finished major part of the work. Tell him politely that you know your responsibilities very well and you will finish the given task before the deadline. Try to make him believe in your abilities.
• If your boss finds faults with you very often - Sometimes you do very quality work and still your boss does not like it. He wants it according to his ideology. To handle this kind of boss, you need to explain him that you have your own thought process and ideas and he is not supposed to downplay your efforts as long as other stakeholders have no issues with your work.

In summary, Keep in mind some important points to handle rude boss. Never insult your boss. Always give him respect. You should be very polite while putting your opinion in front of him.
