My boss is a moody woman who thinks she can say and do whatever she wants. She is not always polite when she talks to the staff who respect her because of her temper and her position. Today I answered back! She didn't appreciate it. In fact it was as if she wanted me too and put me down.
How do you react in front of such difficult people?

As your boss, she has a lot of leeway in how she interacts with her staff. However, there is a line that she cannot cross. You need to determine if she has crossed that line. You don't give a lot of info on just what she said that offended you, so it's hard to say whether or not she has done so.
She can be critical, she can be moody, grumpy or a jerk. Those are all legal. She cannot criticize your personal appearance (unless it violates the company dress code), you personally (only your work performance) and cannot use obscene language.
If she is just a jerk, but not violating any rules, you should probably just move on and find another job. People like that aren't likely to change, and you'll go crazy with frustration trying to figure out how to deal with her. Be sure when you leave to tell the HR department that she is the reason you are going.
If she is being personal or being foul-mouthed, you have a valid complaint, which you should definitely take to HR.
Good luck! Bad bosses can make you crazy, I know--that's why I work from home now. I can't stand dealing with the egos and the politics anymore.

The boss could be an fool, yet she's nonetheless the boss. you may swallow it and save going. If itis really attending to you,commence searching. visit a e book save, seem interior the business enterprise area andi nvest $ 25.00 on a e book on resumes. Stert searching, yet especially do not tip your hand. do not grant you with an excuse to fireside you or mess with you till you've had it and promises up. i have worked with my percentage of jerks. it isn't relaxing and the considered replacing jobs could the perfect ingredient you opt for to do. If, as an instance, you're 25 and performance been there purely 2 years, or are you 50 and performance been there18 years? yet another concept. Is there "mobility" on your co, that she may no longer be your boss always? i believe for you,. human beings like this ruin morale, they're worse than poison,

From my experience, I've come to realize that there are two choices: you either resign yourself to not let it get to you OR you sit down with the person and have a polite chat with them.
In the later case, I'd suggest scheduling a time to meet, in private. Explain that you feel like there is a problem between the two of you... and you want to fix whatever it is, so that you can have a better working relationship.
Now, she may get mad at that... but that'll tell you that she has no desire to be reasonable.
At that point, you can either resign yourself to ignoring her bad attitude... or find another job.

Just Roll with it. The fact is, she IS the boss, and CAN pretty much do what she wants. I have found that employers like this will use people like you who answer back(i.i. troublemakers) to try and make an example of. Just do your work, try to duck under the radar, and get a transfer or new job.
Good Luck.

Update your resume.
I am NEVER rude to a boss. I just find another place to work.
