What are some tips and strategies for dealing with the big “BIG BULLY” of them all – your foolish and stupid boss. Send your boss a poem perhaps.
1) Be ostentatiously loyal – no matter how hard it is , it seems or how downright foolish and demanding it may be of your intelligence and patience. Time heals all so they say.
It has been noted in the management literature and the schools of hard knocks that bullies seem to demand a visible show of fealty – the Merriam Webster dictionary defines fealty as the “fidelity of a vassal or a feudal tenant to his Lord”. Can you think of a better description of the situation.
The expression is “When in Rome do as the Romans”.
The most amazing thing is that you might think that your behaviour might be suspect . Suck-holing they might of called it in school. Yet remember here that you are dealing with abject morons. It turns out that in most cases they are gratified at what they see again as more examples of their apparent power and powers over others. To be expected from greatness of course. The only one right and correct answer to the situation. It simply reaffirms the important motto – that the rules are golden , and they are my rules.
The online internet auction seller eBay can well serve as a case in point
eBay seems to go out of its way to prove “Who is Boss !” regardless of any of the consequences to its sales , customer relationships and ultimately its bottom line.
On eBay its the sellers who carry the load and pay the tariff – not the buyers by any chance
Listing fees , “final value sale fees” and then a PayPal fee / tax of approximately 4 %
eBay regularly issues updates and edicts to the sellers all tied into 1984 type language of how “we are here to help you”
It apparently target markets new upcoming product revisions and systems extensively – the committees must be deaf , dumb and plain or just plain misinformed and misdirected
Two examples
1) Good news to enhance “transparency” sellers can now only leave positive or no feedback at all whereas the buyer
has the choice of bidding , buying or not trusting a vendor . The seller has no such powers
Yet the buyer can hit the seller with negative feedback
Apparently some sellers were using threat of negative feedback to force or coerce buyers to pay up for what they purchased on . Horrors.
2) Recently to enhance the process of non paying bidders , ebay came up with a new streamlined strategy – The Unpaid Item Policy”
Great
Only one problem – the time limit has been conveniently reduced ( quietly) from 45 to 32 days
10 days not to be paid
10 days for the buyer to promise to pay while you wait. If the seller is overly aggressive in requesting payment promptly they may receive a negative comment from the buyer who has not honored their committments
lastly if the seller is dragged on further by the buyer – soon its too late to make the claim
Remember these rules and procedures are all there to help you
You can bet on one thing , eBay will always take its cut regardless right off the top
The seller is left to wonder is this all worth the effort of it all
Ebay can serve as a model of business , your boss and how the same people who ran the old pre-internet “bricks and mortar ” economy into the ground , are now back firmly and place and most likely your new boss or supervisor.

From a managerial handbook “ You might be tempted to try to keep employees satisfied in order to maintain productivity. That is not easy . Employee satisfaction can be expensive . There is only one economical alternative to addressing the employee “satisfaction” issue. Can you locate it on this list:
First the whole exercise sounds rather sterile , even more than elitist, coupled with Nazi like understandings of an issue similar to the concept of “The Jews are Our Misfortune”.
What might this list be in terms of employee satisfaction alternatives :
1) Increase salaries ( bad for profit levels)
2) Improve working environment and environments – again not good for bottom line profit levels and more importantly it reduced the perceived value of the “perks” given to management in relation to the peons doing the work and bringing home the “bacon”
“Perks of management” have been defined and described by some as anything given to management for free that can not really be justified financially or by any other means.
Its all in relation to who has what. Not unlike men comparing the size of the penises of the hard drives on their laptop computers.
What a bunch of morons. In the end the assignment will be to conduct and employee satisfaction survey or survey and both ignore any results and information obtained while penalizing and deriding any “wrong answers”.
It all comes down to plain foolishness and downright stupidity. “I’m the boss”.

If nothing else is sacred – your self worth as well as personal integrity should be.
Do not let management make “mince meat” out of you in order to preserve their “sacred cows”
Your remain the same person that you were with or without their approval. Their approval or pat on your head (or threats ) mean little. You were the same person regardless – the same person who woke up in the morning ,who got in the car or bus. Your intrinsic value remains the same regardless. Resist the magic swoop of logic that somehow the minute you don’t fall to their wishes , or miss a production , sales or other corporate ( top floor ) target you are somewhow of less value as a human being . Magic ( and most faulty logic). Have them look in the mirror. How on earth does missing one arbritrary target of their make you any less of a human being.
In many ways it comes down to control issues on their part – pathological on their part. If anyone has problems it is them . Look in the mirror. Look at your own order book sonny.
