My answer was to pile on the sympathy every time I had to deal with her. I got really proactive with it. If I had to disturb her for any reason, I would appoligize and tell her how BUSY I knew she was and how much I hated to disturb her but I needed her expert assistance with whatever I had to deal with. I laid it on with a trowel. It didn't always curb her rudeness but it made it less stressful for me. I was able to tough it out until she moved on to a different job in the company and I got a new and better boss. I had a boss with a similar problem.

Sad to say you may have to wait out the nine months. The end result should be worth the wait! Hang in there if your job is worth it and in this time of financial trouble it definitely is worth it. Peggy Hello Kelly,
Unfortunuately for you, your boss being rude and ill mannered are not grounds for firing. Sad to say you may have to wait out the nine months. The end result should be worth the wait!

Hang in there if your job is worth it and in this time of financial trouble it definitely is worth it.

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:11:04 +0000 http://www.hrbenefitsalert.com/?p=114#comment-328 I have an HR Question? My boss, the HR Director of our company speaks to employees rudely and unprofessionally. For example: Her door is always closed and when you knock and she says to come in, she will glare at you and say, "What, I am busy, so hurry up". Another example is: My co-worker, new at the time went in to my boss' office to bring her some paperwork and my boss told her that she needs to start wearing make up and do something with her hair because it was too flat! Her emails are on the border of verbal abuse. I have made a report to the VP of HR and was told to wait patiently because my current boss is retiring in 9 months. What else can I do because I don't know if I can wait 9 long months and deal with this. Please help!! I have an HR Question?
