One of my supervisors does something that offends just about everyone working for her, as well as the other supervisors. If it gets busy, she pushes everyone (capable or not) off of the espresso bar and takes over.
Normally, I do not take it personally, sometimes other people do. Last night I was having a really bad day and I nearly blew up at her. I went into the back room and was in tears and the supervisor had no idea. I am not the first person that has reacted this way. I think that she does this as a means of asserting her authority in a negative way.
Instead of blowing up at her (or waiting until someone else does), the more effective way would be to communicate how I feel and indicate that others tend to agree. I could also go to the manager, but she wouldn't respect that and would think of it as tattling.
How do I approach her? This is a bossy, intelligent woman who likes each thing done a certain way.
