8 common complaints about bosses and what to do about them

September 13, 2011

One of the biggest factors in your quality of life at work is the relationship you have with your boss. And yet too often when faced with a frustrating boss, people throw up their hands and feel helpless to do anything about it. But instead, you can usually take actions to manage the situation and your boss.

Over at the Intuit Quick Base blog today, I take on eight of the most common complaints about bosses – and talk about how you can manage around them. We’ve got micromanagers, bosses who hate you, bosses who always check their email while you’re meeting with them, and more. Check it out here, and I’d love it if you’d leave your thoughts in the comments over there.

Maybe I’m a littel slow, but I couldn’t figure out how to put my comment on the other site :-(

Hmm. Scroll down, beneath my bio and beneath the Related Articles bar. You should then see a comment box. Not working?
