My boss has been horrible to me over the last couple of weeks for no aparent reason. This morning she was on the phone on a personal call and started crying. I was glad she was upset.

It is normal for a person to re-act to some one who's not treating you good in the same manor.
By asking the question - you must feel bad about your reaction.
You have to ask yourself - are you normally a horrible person or was it just this time as an re-action to how she has been treating you. If it is just this time - think about it - maybe the reason she has been acting this way for the last couple of weeks is not because of something you did maybe she has been having problems and does not know how to handle it. The big thing to do is to be a nice, better person and give her a shoulder to cry on - maybe than you will find out why she has been acting the way she has and it will make you feel better too.
Being horrible has never helped anyone.

yes you are being horrible problems and stress affect people in different ways and some people treat those around them in a bad way. just think if you were the one with a problem i am sure that you would like a shoulder to lean on. Try speaking to her nicely and ask her what is wrong and then you will both be a bit happier. Boss or not she is a fellow human being go on show her your kind side for once

It sounds like maybe your boss is having a hard time at home, but she shouldnt have brought it into work with her and taken it out on you. Tell her how horrible she has been to you because it is unfair of her and maybe she will tell you what has been bothering her.
If it is something trivial (ruining a top in the washing) then no you arent horrible and if it is something serious (i.e. her best friend having a terminal illness) you could have maybe been a bit more sympathetic and asked her first of all.

Just because she is your boss does not mean that if she is upset you cannot console her, she is a human being after all.
Maybe she has a personal probelm and this could account for her behaviour towards you. Not that I condone this type of management skills in any boss. However, perhaps you could show some compassion towards her. Not unless she is always a ***** towards you in which case start looking for another job.
Like I said ask her politely if she has a problem.

Perhaps she has suffered a personal issue like the death of a relative and she is taking it out on the staff without realising. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine (her boss was rude to her for a week ar two) and it turned out the guy's twin brother had died but she ended up shouting at him over a thoughtless comment he made and he ended up just walking out of the office and never returned to work.

They're just your feelings; why should that be horrible? You did not cause her any direct pain or anguish by having the feelings, and last time I checked no one had cornered the market on mind reading and punishment.
It's natural; someone craps on you, it's nice to see the shoe on the other foot.
No, you're not a bad person!
Holy crap if this is what determines good and bad, I am SO going to hell.

Sounds as though she has been going through some emotional termoil and her "horribleness" is being projected on to you.
Don't take it personally; however, if it becomes too much, ask her if there is a problem between you. You don't need to work under these conditions.
Take care.

Pretty natural reaction, I'd say.
You could use this as an opportunity to get in with her and be her friend. That way she'd maybe take it out on someone else - and you could join in, or maybe she'd see she'd been a **** to you and start making it up to you by lightening your work load, giving you rewwards etc.
Alternatively, you could spread a rumour that she's found out that her fella's been sleeping with the dog and given her some disgusting canine STD that there's no cure for, so everyone's got to be nice to her (and giggle as soon as she leaves the room).

well i think you should ask what is wrong, you aren't being horrible being glad that she was upset but you might fell really guilty if she has just lost someone close to her or something, i think you should try and see if she is OK and maybe she might start treating you better

I think it is natural to feel a little bit happy when someone who has been treating you badly comes in to heartache of their own you know what they say "What comes around goes around"....but, try to be bigger than that and reach out to your boss during this....it might help her to realize that you are a good person and she may start treating you a little better. You will probably even feel better about yourself for trying to help her.
