Author: admin | Filed under: Employee Satisfaction, Employers | Tags: , , | No Comments »

Being an over metic­u­lous boss is suf­fi­cient to score an annoy­ing point.  Being overly micro­manag­ing the team is a sure walk over for most staffs under him to give him the red card!  How­ever, unknow­ingly to these man­age­ment, they can be annoy­ing from another set of cri­te­ria.  Are they being stub­born to ideas or clue­less of what’s going on in the organ­i­sa­tion?  Or are they being too per­sonal and self-centred of them­selves that leaved their staff feel­ing annoyed?  Find out more with our con­tin­ued part two post here!

  • “What’s going on” bosses – This type of bosses do not have any clue of what­so­ever is going on in the organ­i­sa­tion.  They just live the day as it is and doesn’t plan for tomor­row.  In the first place, how did he become the boss?
  • Being stub­born – These bosses just resis­tant to any sug­ges­tions from the ground.  They believed what they said are always right.  They reject ideas from the staffs.
  • bad_boss_Avoid­ing things that are crit­i­cal to the entire pro­duc­tiv­ity of the organ­i­sa­tion – The staff have pointed out crit­i­cal improve­ments to the process to the over­all pro­duc­tiv­ity of the organ­i­sa­tion.  How­ever, the bosses are resist­ing accept­ing the new proposals.
  • Shift­ing non-valuable work to the staff – Admin work are shifted to the staffs to do.  You do not have a choice if you are the admin staff.  How­ever, if you are not, are you loos­ing the chance to do bet­ter things out there?
  • Tak­ing credit for staff’s work – This is the worst thing that can hap­pen to a staff.  Their credit is being taken away by their boss.  What’s worst, not a sin­gle appre­ci­a­tion and acknowl­edge­ment is given to the staff.  The staff may con­sider resign­ing the job!
  • Keep talk­ing about their fam­ily stuff – Self-centred series num­ber one.  The topic cir­cles around what­ever hap­pened in your boss’s fam­ily.  Such as kids going to school, how smart are the kids, how ador­ing is your house pet, how good is the nanny, etc.  Please refrain from doing this, you will only bored peo­ple down.
  • Keep talk­ing about their expe­ri­ences on (not any­thing) every­thing – Self-centred series num­ber two.  The topic cir­cles around how good the boss is at han­dling things, how he learn things so fast, how he devel­oped the new process that shaped the organ­i­sa­tion, etc.  The staff will know how good you are by work­ing with you and not by hear­ing your stories
  • Keep crack­ing cold jokes – Please do not tor­ture your staff with cold jokes.  They are put into the posi­tion to patro­n­ise your stu­pid jokes.  Give them a break on this!  If it isn’t funny, don’t even men­tion it.  Your staff won’t be in a fix to find some means to respond to the dumb jokes.

If you are such supe­rior, it’s time to review your­self as a supe­rior.  This goes for those who often take cred­its away from their staff!  Give grat­i­tude and acknowl­edge your staff’s work.  Reward as and when needed.  If you like to blab­ber about your own sto­ries, remem­ber that the other party may not be really inter­ested in what you are say­ing.  Find some­one that is inter­ested to hear it instead.  This will at least bring the annoy­ance level of your staff down!
