She's like my boss too. But I can't take the fact that you can't ask her a question because she snaps at you. My boss (her mother/ owner of the company) also notices her rude behavior w/ just about everyone in here, and who she also responds to in a "bitchee" way too. But she's only like that with certain people, I don't know why??? I do my work and well, she's even given me a $150 American Express Gift Card for the great work I've done. Her mother (the owner of the company) tells me all the time, that I'm a great employee, and wants me to stay working with her till I grow old. But sometimes I do feel like quitting, because of her daughter's bipolar attitude, she's like that because she has problems w/ her husband and comes and takes it out on us. There are times when she'll lock herself in her office and cry all day long. I think that whatever problems you got at home, leave them there, don't bring them to the office. She's always talking about we need to be professional (go figure).

Sometimes she's sweet as a pie, and sometimes you don't even want to look at her, because your afraid in turning into salt.

Well I'm educated with 2 degrees, so I'm more than qualified for the position that I have, and know I can get ALOT more money at another place. But I honestly love what I do. She's only nice to the other people who do not have much schooling, and they are not the brightest plus they hardly speak any english, they mess up all the time. My Boss wants to get rid of them, but her daughter always defends them.

Well maybe she is waiting for someone to tell her off!
Sometime that takes the cake to put them in their places, cux, not everyone has to walk around them on the egg shells!!
And perhaps after this run-in with her, she might do a double face turned on her own way of life.
Don't take this abuse from her. And beside if she tried to fired you, you can sued her, cux of her emotional imbalanced individual. And the reason she is keep on doing it to you, cux she sense that she can do whatever she want with you. While other pplx that she doesn't do it to, cux she know they aint gonna put up with her BS!
So either tell her off, or ask those pplx what they do in such a way that she doesnt goes to them with BS.
Stay there or talked with your boss about her daughter attitude problem. Either give you a higher raise! or You are going to look for another job, cux the work place become hazarous to your health!! Literary!!
Good Luck!

I agree that if you have problems at home then one should leave them at home. In this case it sounds like she is a drama queen and she is one of your bosses. So, if you like your work and the other people you work with you should probably just try and suck it up and ignore her nastiness as best you can. If it gets so bad you can't take it then move on to somewhere else. I don't think telling her to take a chill pill would go down too well. Her mother may not fire you directly, but the daughter may see to it that you are fired.

Hey, my boss that I mentioned in the other question had her favorites who could get away with anything and then there were the rest of us who trembled at the site of her. Heck, even when she just came back for visits, I'd duck into a room to get away and once, when that wasn't possible, I turned to face the wall and tried to "disappear" in the hope she wouldn't see me. And she gave me "Teacher of the Month" less than a year earlier. (The gift card would have been more appreciated.)
I did my job great, too, but she didn't acknowledge that except for the piece of paper. I had a way with the really tough kids. One of them, for example, called me an "f***ing white B****" in October, but by Christmas he called me his "favorite teacher." That sort of thing. Heck, I would have sucked up, too, like her favorites, if given a chance to.
I think you should lay it on the line to her mother and tell her how much you love it there but if something doesn't happen per her daughter's attitude, you're going to have to go elsewhere because you just can't put a price on your sanity. (Too many years and nightmares later, I finally ran for my life.)

I would go to her mother and ask her mother to please do something about it if she wants you to continue to be her employee. Make sure that her mother understands that you do not have a problem with her daughter in particular, but the way she can snap.
Good luck

As a rule: Don't say anything to your boss’s family members that you wouldn't say to your boss.

You could get fired but you could get promoted. It's all about the attitude of your employer.

Depends on your boss. If he knows his daughter is a ***** then no.

If you enjoy your work there, I's advise you to grin and bear it. Can't have everything your way!
