Hate your boss? Here's why
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Motivation
Are you stressed out at work -- miserable everyday because you can't stand your boss? It's more than just sitcom fodder. Employees who work for tyrants are more likely to experience exhaustion, job tension, nervousness and depressed mood.
A recent study found that more than 30% of employees got the "silent treatment," weren't given credit when due, and had promises broken by their supervisor. More than 20% said their boss made negative comments about them to other employees or managers, while also blaming others to cover up mistakes and minimize embarrassment.
So what can you do if your boss sucks? Stay visible at work, making sure employers notice your strengths and talents. Also, try an optimistic approach -- even if your current supervisor is a jerk, you'll want the next one to know what you can do for the company. Lastly, if your boss is more than just a bad manager, and is actually abusive, don't stand for it -- look for help from your human resources department, or seek outside legal advice.

The American Institute of Stress and The Centers For Control have both reported that up to 90% of all illnesses are due to stress. For many years I experienced several life threatening illnesses. I found the Institute of HeartMath and discovered that all of these illnesses were due to stresses I had been experiencing in my life. Learning and practicing HeartMath's scientifically substantiated tools and technologies literally saved my life. Additional information on HeartMath and how to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of stress, in-the-moment, achieve better health, more energy and improved mental and emotional clarity, and improve performance and relationships can be found at www.emotionalmastery.com.
