Anger Management
  

     
     
I get angry with my boss
 
 
 

Question:
" I get angry with my boss but never say anything to him. He never tells me anything until the last minute. I just fume and it's really getting to me. What should I do?"

  

 
  Answer:
This is a complicated area with many possible solutions:
 
  1) QUIT.  
  2) When you are given last minute work, explain that you haven't got the time or resources to deal with it.  
  3) Thank him and say you are really pleased that he knows that he can rely on you to perform miracles at a moments notice.  
  4) Schedule a meeting with him and then explain quietly but firmly what he is doing, how it makes you feel and how if he could help you by giving you advanced notice of work you would be able to deal with matters even better than you currently do.  
 

My preferred solution is number '4' but you must make sure that you are speaking to each other as 'adults' and that you are not blaming him for his actions and you are not moaning about how you feel 'bad'. It's best to approach this matter from the point of view that you want to increase the efficiency of both of you and to improve the work that you do.
