The best way to get this guy is to set a trap for him that once sprung, will land him in jail. If he's stealing money from the company, you have your avenue for his destruction. That's embezzling. And that's a felony. Take him down!

A difficult boss is a tough obstacle to overcome, but you can do it. Try these approaches:

# Focus on the Problem, not the Person

No matter how difficult or pleasant your boss, the real issue has to do with the fairness of your compensation. The more attention you pay to the substantive matters, the less you will be sidetracked by your boss's personality defects.

# Listen and Learn as Much as You Advocate

Chances are your boss will have a strong point of view that he will insist upon stating. Instead of fighting with your boss over whether that perspective is right, just listen. Once you understand your boss's point of view, and he realizes that you "get it," you can provide your different perspective. If you have taken the time to hear your boss out, he will more readily grant you the same courtesy.

# Do the Hard Creative Work

You probably cannot count on your boss to come up with a solution that takes into account your views as well as his own view, or to significantly improve the situation by thinking outside the box. So be proactive and get prepared to do this type of creative problem solving for the both of you. As you do so, make sure you include your boss's views and input so it feels like a joint problem solving session.

# Stress the Legitimacy of Your Desires

Even the most difficult of people tend to view themselves as fair and therefore want to act in ways that leave others feeling fairly treated. So, as you seek more compensation, stress that it is merely an opportunity for the company to treat a valued employee fairly. If you can, gather data about what others in similar positions in the company are making and compare those figures to your own salary.

# Consider Your Alternatives

If your boss is just too nasty, stubborn or useless to deal with directly, can you approach another senior manager? Is there someone else who can take up your case for more compensation on your behalf? If so, consider bypassing this difficult person in order to make progress.

# Get Commitments in Writing

No matter how much progress you make in conversations with your boss, unless those discussions are put in writing you may find it hard to get them enforced. So, even if all you can get is an exchange of emails, or just a letter from you detailing the points that you agreed upon, get all promises in writing.

It is better that you get support from your colleagues, co-workers, your juniors and your seniors. If you form a small group you can fight better, remember corrupt bosses yield more power than non corrupt ones.
It also depends on the organization. Some organizations know that the boss is corrupt but use him to get some important part of the job done. He may have good government connections. In such a case, they may use your boss to the point that he has nothing more to offer, then they fire him. If this is the case, then it is better for you to wait.
If the oranization and the business practices itself are corrupt, Your boss thrives in such a setting then, as the saying goes, if you can't lick them, then join them.

Wow man, you are like dealing with some really,
really, really serious issues here. I hope you are aware of that! I; obviously; cannot be specific; as you were not. The fact that you utilized the word corrupt -AND- every; could be serious business!! If there is any problems re: a sexual
nature, get to an attorney yesterday. Scum like that aren't worth anything. If it is a lazy, do nothing walk around and yell and embarrass you and your work - mates in front of each other, kind of jerk: My first suggestion would be to call his/her superior. We've all got one. If you do not get satisfaction, go to the Human Resources Department, if you have one. If it is as serious as it sounds: you may want to call your states:
Human Rights Office. They will put you in touch with the people that can help you, be it an attorney or investigator. I spent 30 plus years in the wild and crazy world of Food and Beverage and fired a lot of jerks in the process. I hope this gives you an idea of where to start. If you want to be more specific, send me an e-mail and I'd be glad to assist.

read mahabharat and you will get plenty of ideas to deal such characters - bottom line is this - fight to win, not just to fight. use any means. just about any. but always take precaution so that you don't end in a mess. boss is corrupt. good. easier to take such a person down than an uncorrupt one. you be clean. be QUIET, VERY QUIET. observe. deliver your goods. scheme if necessary AND if you want to continue in the same place. Else, scheme AND scoot out of the place at the earliest - before the corruption corrupts you. good luck for both !!

Ooh...tough question...your only answer is wholly dependent upon your own moral compass. I don't know if you work for a big cooperation or a mom and pop store, because your actions will largely be limited to one or the other....for example, if you make an accusation against a big shot CEO, you may be looking at defending yourself against libel charges unless you have concrete proof. I would probably look for other employment in any case. Good luck1!

Try to show him loyalty at any reasonable cost, if this does not work, get out from there and look for a better job; or demand him with logical evidence and with any validity proof
