Frosty tension between me and my boss
My boss screamed at me, and now there’s a frosty tension between us. Flow can I get things back to normal?
answer:
Being screamed at is never pleasant, and there’s far too much of it in the workplace. If anybody outside of the office yelled at you the way senior officers sometimes do, you’d punch him in the face. But into each career some spit shall fall, and you’re not a wuss. You can take it. Don’t reward the boss’ bullying with craven behavior. Stand tall and get right back on the horse. Try not to take it personally. Very often, the yeller is simply managing his anxiety in the only manner he knows how—by using you as a punching bag. Persistent sadistic treatment, however, calls for a level of Zen detachment mastered only by the sages of the ages. Adopt an indifferent “fuc*it” attitude. If you can’t do it in body, at least do so in spirit. A storm doesn’t seem so bad when you’re flying above it.
