if your boss doesn't seems to listen and just practically ignored what you have said, what would you do?

Question

my boss is younger than me but he is of course, intelligent

Answer 1

hi..If you feel at the time being you can't afford to loose your job,my advice is,try to have as little contact with him as possible(of-course I don't know the nature of your job)..anyhow,this way you reserve your dignity and maybe he'll one day soon look around and discover that something is missing...you !
good luck...

Answer 2

Doesn't sound like he's that intelligent. However to resolve your problem, is dependent upon your length of service. Providing you have more than 12 months continous service you have full employment rights. That being the case, you now have a choice, if the issue is not that serious, you can instigate a full grievance procedure hearing to your boss's boss. If the issue is serious, you can, (But there is a serious risk here) resign and claim that you have been unfairly constructively dismissed.(The risk is that if the Tribunal hearing your case doesn't agee with you - you have resigned from your employment and have failed to win any compensation).

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

ask to meet him on a one to one basis and sit and have a chat with him, tell me your ideas, but have all angles covered, so that if he asks you questions you are ready for him. May be even tell him you think he ignores you, maybe he is unaware of this.

If all else fails look for another job, you wouldnt put up with that from a partner so why do it from a boss, what right does he have to ignore you, just coz he is your boss, does that make him a better person, no you deserve more.

Answer 4

You must start taking note of everything he said now because when something go wrong he pass the buck to you. You can then play back to him everything he said. If he sacks you you will have ample evidence to confront him with at the industrial Tribunal.
You have no future with a boss who dont listen to you. Take your talent to a company that appreciates you.

Answer 5

Maybe send him an email with your questions - and then wait and see if you get a reply or replies - at least then you have it on record - should anything - or any situation blow up !!!! Sometimes one has to rise above situations - the programme 'The Office' is a very good example of situations in offices - especially the boss in this programme - if you get my drift !!!

Answer 6

He is no way intellegent. An intellegent boss listens to staff, and even if you come with an idea that won't work in practice will give an intellegent answer why. Don't worry though, his boss will soon cotton on to him!

Answer 7

I took that kind of thing for many years. The company realised that what I had been tryng to tell them was true but were too emnarrassed to admit it. They brought in somenoe and gave him the job of getting rid of me (his words). I left, under my own terms, honour and dignity intact.

My advice? Find another job as discretely as possible and leave. No-one can spend as much time as we do at work without some degree of respect.

Answer 8

If you can financially afford it, tell him to imagine a place where the sun don't shine and to take your contract of employment, rolled up real tight and shove it there. Sideways. Without vaseline, but with all staples remaining.
Worst case, you're fired.
Best case, you've got his attention.

Answer 9

Intelligent doesn't mean he is not making any mistake.If you say what he is, he is just another bonehead. he needs to learn some kind of communication therapy and finally, he is not intelligent as you give him credit for.

Answer 10

make sure if his way of doing things bring bad results you suggest at team/management meeting that you feel your idea would have brought the required results.
But be careful - if you follow the proper channels who knows you could end up with his job!

Answer 11

I would tell him straight up that he is very intelligent, but that you feel your input is valid as well. Tell him that you would appreciate some feedback.
