Answer 1

What to do depends... any chance your bosses will leave soon? If so, you might try to outlast them! If that's the case, just grin and bear it for a while.

If the boss isn't leaving soon, then ask yourself if you've learned enough in your current job to make someone else hire you for your skills. If not, again, grin and bear it until you learn enough to get another job.

If you have learned enough in your current job to get another one, then conduct a discreet search for another job. First step is to get a resume together that looks good to employers. When that's done, go to the web to find other interesting jobs. Monster and CareerBuilder are very good sources.

When you get an interview, and they ask you why you're leaving your current job, DO NOT say "because I hate my bosses"!!! If you say that, they will say to themselves "whoaaa... this person may hate me, too!" Instead, say "i've learned all I can in my current job, there are no promotional opportunities, and I think it's now time to get some additional experience"... or something like that.

Regarding the reference, you really cannot control what your current bosses say. While there are laws about what they can and cannot say without your permission, you'd have to go to court to enforce your rights and that's not practical in almost all cases. So---on your resume provide prospective employers with a list of references they can call. Include former bosses (or, at the least co-workers) on the list. Note: Before you list them, call them and tell them what you're doing. One of them can say, if called, "I do know he/she has a terrible current boss who no one would want to work for"... that way the message gets delivered that you're a good, hard worker with a bad boss, and YOU don't have to be the one to complain about your current boss.

I learned over a long career that ultimately people who do bad things, like your bosses, pay for their bad behavior. Waiting for that to happen can be agony, though! Only you can decide if it's bad enough to leave, or to go over their head to someone with reason. Usually, patience and just ensuring you don't fall into the trap of doing the same things they are is the best choice.

Good luck! Hope this helps....

Answer 2

This situation is something that many people suffer. I've had several bosses that were arrogant and had no business managing people. The first thing to remember, is you can't change other people and the second is that you have no real idea as to why they do the things that they do. Oh sure you can speculate and jump to conclusions but the golden rule says, treat others as you would like to be treated.
How many times in your life have you made mistakes, or acted in an inappropriate, arrogant or mean way? The fact of the matter is that you are a subordinate. You are a new trainee. How much knowledge do you have regarding the stress and pressure they are under in their position? How much time, effort, and paying of dues do you think they had to endure to acquire the position they are in? Now don't get me wrong, you are intelligent enough to determine the difference between poor management and abuse. If you are being treated in an abusive manner than contact your local employment office and ask for guidance as to how to best handle your situation They will direct you to the proper authorities to give you the best odds of maintaining employment or receiving benefits. Now if its just a case of personality clash, then ask yourself, Do I like my job. Is this something I see a future in? Did I settle for this job because cash flow required it? In your situation its fairly clear what your options are. Trainees will never succeed in undermining the authority of their supervisors. If you don't like your boss, you can quit,(which I don't recommend) you can stick with it and see if things get better. You can directly but respectfully approach your superior and express your frustrations and get some insight as to why they are offending you. All in all the responsibility is yours to decide if you will succeed in the employment position or not given the dynamics of the workplace.
If you feel you don't fit with this organization than start looking for other work, always give notice and give your best effort even if you know you won't be there long. You are building the credibility and work history that willl follow you for years to come. Make wise choices because you are capable.

Prayers have been sent! If you are serious, I would FIRE them. I did that a few years ago and haven't looked back once. My life has improved 100%.
So what do I mean. In answer to that, you may or may not get it right away, but I will direct you to two internet sites. Don't dispair. I hope you will take the time for yourself to spend (serious) time in both. www.tni.com/tnnt then go to www.danijohnson.com . This will then make more sense about my comment about FIRE them. Best of luck, blessings, and happier days ahead for you.

Answer 5

Seriously, life is too short. Get a new job. If you aren't happy with what you're doing for a living... do something else. I know it seems simple but you'd be surprised at how many people stay at a job 20 years (or more) that they hate. Amazing.

Slainte,

i think you should just ignore them, instead of focusing on them and their attitudes, just concentrate on your work, and focus your attention in being productive at work. in this way they will see that you really do not care about them, and what they say or think, but rather you care about completing your task. this will earn their respect on you because you are sending a clear message to them, sure they are the boss, but you are not at their equal level. in fact with the improvements in your productivity you are telling them that you are better than them because you dont deal with office intrigues and issues but rather you just get the work done.
