How's your boss doing?
Hope you're one of the lucky ones with a good and reasonable boss. But what if your boss tends to be unpredictable at work? How would you react? How would you face them? How can you still enjoy your job?
Answer: there's still a way.
Here are the steps you're looking for:
Just stay calm. If you have a boss who raises their voice, don't fret. Just stay calm. Being always anxious isn't healthy. Maybe it's just their personality to grab attention quickly. Stay composed in front of your boss. If they see you're calm, they might tone down too. It's good to just follow their instructions for them to respect you more.
Be mindful of your actions at work and always be honest. This applies especially if your boss is the type who easily fires employees. They're the OC (Obsessive-Compulsive) and extremely intelligent type—making one wrong move might cost you. Again, be cautious with your actions.
Take note of conversations/communication with your boss. Some bosses tend to forget things. They're the type who might tell you now to delay a particular task, but tomorrow they'll come back to you and ask, "Why isn't it done yet?" Can you relate? The secret here is to review your notes of their instructions or show them the email from your boss as evidence.
Consider changing jobs. If you're really left with no choice, because you're dealing with the "shouting-and-intimidating" type of boss, think about it. Your only choice might be to resign. Because apart from being unhappy, you might even get sick due to extreme fear.
There you go, now you know what to do to get along with your boss. If your boss doesn't possess any of the mentioned traits, you're fortunate. In that case, just keep building your boss's respect for you through dedicated and honest work.
