My supervisor at work is a bully, what to do?

Question - (20 February 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 28 February 2011)
A female Australia age 36-40, *eccamega writes:

I can't stand her and neither can anyone else at work. She treats everyone like dirt. I don't know why my boss put her in charge. She always puts down people, but never when my boss is there. So he never sees it. She cracks easily under pressure when its busy. Other people have done a much better job, yet she's still there. She doesn't like me and gives me the crap jobs.

Once when she was giving out the pay slips she insulted me. She said "here's your pay slip since you like it here so much and you're still here". I don't why she insults me when her daughter used to work with us and she's older than me.

Last year the daughter had a baby. Now she's a single mother and living off benefits from the government. At least I'm working and not bludging like her. So why does she insult me? Being unemployed is hardly doing better.

The problem is my boss takes her side no matter what. He lets her get away with so much. Or she just never does it in front of him. My boss is also a douche. He doesn't seem to care and seems to be waiting out his retirement,

bitterblue agony auntSuck it up and don't let it get to you. Quite frankly, this happens to a lot of people, and if she's someone's protégée your whining and pleading to the manager will get you nowhere, but more likely make YOU look bad. So what if she said that, at least she didn't use swear words like it happens to some. Who have to lower their heads because they have kids at home and the last thing they need is get fired.

Everyone knows she's a pest and that she is not right. Thank God you're not a frustrated pain as she is, let it go and focus on doing your job. If the example you gave us is the worst she says, just ignore it.

You can't change or kill all people who bother you!

She could have had a hard life do you know her background? I would have a group of people come and try to work this out with her. Or bring in a counsler. Good Luck

If she is doing this to a number of people in the work place why not speak to her superior as a group and bring up the issue of putting together a collected grievence against her if things don't change?

She has no right to insult you, fair enough she needs to make sure deadlines/targets are met but not by treating her staff as dirt.

Remember you are there to do a job not be made to feel like dirt on the bottom of a shoe! Sure she may have her downfalls but raise above this and do not insult her back as this will give her fuel to throw back.

Maybe start making a log of insults that all of you can take to a superior and present at a meeting to ressolve, if not put a collective grievence in against her!

Hope this helps :)
