[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 414056, member: 30"] Thats the point exactly! Don't react. Reacting fuels his fire and lets him know you are easy prey. I personally couldn't sit there long, that is why I would have to move along........ The first thing we must realize is that in the grand scheme of things at work, how you feel or don't feel really doesn't matter. What matters is that you do exactly what your boss asks of you no matter how idiotic it is or how many times he changes his mind. Do it with a smile and do your best! Always document and as Marcie said email back to him a confirmation of your understanding. It's not your job to try to get your boss fired, or to get others to take notice of how bad he is, no matter how much you dislike him or how underhanded you believe him to be. Your boss will show his a** one too many times and he will take care of his own undoing very well on his own. If you want your job, lay low, comply with what he asks (I know this is difficult) and keep a positive attitude (even more difficult). If you are so unhappy that you are able to do this, you need to move on. If you continue on as you are, you will appear to be a trouble maker that is uncompliant instead of a team player working with others to get the job done. The next time he brings up something you've already discussed that he's changed his mind on, I would say "Oh, I'm so sorry! I must have misunderstood the last directions you emailed to me. Let me pull up that email so that you can you clarify what I should have done differently. Sometimes, you can nicely confront "these types" and while being "nice" let them know, that you did exactly what they asked for and that you have proof that is what they asked for. Nonconfrontational of course! I'd keep my eyes open for another job for sure! [/QUOTE]
