AskABoss: 'She’s made fun of people’s weight, teeth, noses, autism, age, disabilities, accents, and all sorts of things they have no control over'
For the most part, I love my job and my co-workers about as much as anyone can. I even enjoy working for my current boss. There is one problem, however: she’s really cliquey and kind of a jerk.
Other than this one thing, we all get along really well and I don’t intend to quit my job any time soon. But is there a way to professionally handle situations like this? Or should I just smile and tune her out while she rants about some random ex-employee’s weird dimples? I know you know this … but do you really know it, at a gut level? It’s an interesting cognitive dissonance to read that you get along well and generally like working for your boss but she’s also a terrible person.
And even if she never turns on you, you still can’t trust her, given what you know about her. And that’s a big problem when she’s in charge of your work evaluations, salary reviews, and overall advancement. But until that happens, how do you deal with your boss when she unleashes a rude tirade about someone? If she didn’t have a habit of lashing out at people who disagree with her, I’d suggest that you try responding with something positive about the person she’s badmouthing, like “Huh, I like Jane! I’ve always found her really easy to work with.” Or, “I’m surprised to hear that! She’s always been kind to me.
