Am i too sensitive or do you think my boss is being nasty????

i share my office with someone else at work. we have the same boss, but i am working on an external project right now. my co-worker is working more closely with the boss. in the mornings, my boss comes in to our room and says "morning" she ignores me. i say "morning" but i am only acknowledged after my boss has said "morning" to my co-worker first. i find this rude. also, in the hall or at other times I smile and say "hello" and i am lucky if i get an acknowledgement or hello back from the boss. we had an office get together and my boss hardly said two words to me and was all pals with other co-workers. i don't get this. i work hard, and do well for the company. this is the same boss who wouldn't pay for our consulting guest when she invited him to lunch. i feel the boss is nasty and rude. do you agree? what gets me is how i have to "wait in line" to be acknowledged with "hello" or "good morning". can't she come in and smile a say hi to both??? am i missing something?

i guess what annoys me is that this boss acts all high and mighty and as if she is so wonderful. at staff meetings she talks about absent co-workers behind their backs quite negatively sometimes. she is cold and nasty. she comes from a family of billonaires and acts as 铆f everyone is beneath her. her family owns a huge company. maybe i am wrong, but that is how i feel. it is sad really. i moved from vancouver, canada, to london, england for this job. it promised me more money, more responsibility and so on and i get to travel in europe- this woman, as one of my co-workers says, reminds her of miranda on the "devil wears prada". i think she's worse.

No, you are right, this is rude, obnoxious behaviour but here's the good news. Rise above it, smile sweetly and say good morning or hello and never show it bothers you how she reacts or acts. No matter how rude she gets, don't rise to it. More satisfaction that way in the long run as she'll show herself up. Good luck!

Why do you care? Do you like your job? If so than screw it, you dont need friends in the work place, especially a boss. Unless they are being down right nasty and making you feel belittled with words, than I would just keep doing a good job and keep getting a paycheck.

You'll be surprised to know you're not alone. I have been in a few situations similar to this, and it's just nasty. They need someone to release their negative energy on and once they've tried you and you seem suitable to them they'll do it forever. Don't let it get you down, and I don't think it will help to confront her as these days ppl have such attitudes it won't get you anywhere. Just ignore it as best you can and mind your own business, say hello because you have to but only that. I work with an old lady who is always trying to tell me what to do in situations and will always judge and correct me no matter what I say, but as much as I hate working with her, i love my job and have to ignore it and get on with things. Sorry not to be of more help, but from experience, ppl are nasty, especially power freaks! Wow! Real bad news.

he's an A$SHOLE

I think your boss is being nasty and mean.

Is it worth leaving your job for? I work for a woman who is extremely cold and rude. I don't wish her good morning anymore. She never notices and doesn't care.

clearly, she does not like you!!!! or is jelous or anything along those lines!! dont take notice of it there is absolutly NOTHING wrong with you.. its ur boss with the problem.. i suggesst you have a little private chat with her

I have the same kind of boss. Who cares what they think, just do your job.

Your boss is a hybrid or what you call a "Company Man" and a "cheapskate".

Now, in the corporate world, a company man isn't the best man to deal with when you are an employee but he will do anything for the company he works for in order to make sure everything is run smoothly and he never breaks or bends a rule.

A cheapskate is a terrible thing to to be in a friendship or marriage but great for the company. He saves the company a lot of money by not spending funds unless absolutely neccessary.

Now, in this case, you can hate your boss. His customer service and people skills sounds below standard. He doesn't sound like a pleasure to work with. I would deal with it.

But look on the bright side, he is keeping you your job by being cheap and making sure all the rules are being follow.

Why do you feel the need to be pet on the head like some pet dog?
Do your job. That's what you're there for. Who cares if the boss likes you? As long as she stays out of your way, be happy.
I'd give ANY thing for our bosses to ignore me once in a while.

Get over it - not a big deal...................

I think your boss is an ***. And an *** not worth kissing!!!
She may be on some sort of power trip, or she may feel threatened by you and that is why she treats you the way she does.
In the corporate world your boss doesnt have the right to talk about employees when they arent there. That is wrong.
Good luck with it though because corporations are about the almighty dollar.

You are not being sensitive. You are right, she is extremely rude. I have worked with people like her, too, and it really can make a job unpleasant sometimes. I feel that it is so easy to be civil in the corporate environment, but I guess that's not really true for everyone.

You have to be patient and wait for her to sink her own ship. Keep working hard and it will pay off.

Your boss sux
