"My boss gets angry over every little thing. Honestly, I'm more tired of walking on eggshells around my boss than I am of the actual work."

💜 Monday Mama's Answer

Congratulations, that boss isn't a 'worker,' they're a 'stress-manufacturing machine.' Don't think of it as getting a salary from the company; think of it as receiving your 'patience fee' in installments.

The true identity of a boss who gets angry over small things? They're just bored. If they were truly competent, they'd be too busy producing results to get angry. So rest easy—it's not your fault; that person is just a 'workplace monster.'

The solution is simple.
1. Don't directly oppose them (monsters live longer if you make them angry)
2. Take notes on what they say to give the 'impression' that you're doing it
3. Leave immediately when it's time to clock out

Conclusion: Don't watch their face, watch the clock.

Overtime pay is a much better ally to you anyway.
