There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice - television, radio, or record, or whatever. That even includes myself. In the past, I'd say, 'Don't anoint me when you can anoint yourself.' Chuck D. Can one bad boss destroy a good organization? Lets follow this thought. We have all dealt with an ineffective boss (indirectly or directly). What can employees do? According to an unofficial poll conducted by BadBossology.com, 48% of workers ridicule the boss to co-workers, 34% go over his/her head to the bosss managers, 14% quit the position or project at a crucial time to hurt this boss, and 2% turn in subpar work in the bad bosss name. Unfortunately, some employees eventually seek revenge through personal attacks on these bad bosses. Under stressful situations, peopleyes, even good Christian folkscan do bad things to people who attack them. That is why Jesus challenges us to be different. 1 Peter 2:9 reads, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people Jesus knew people would try to challenge our spiritual liberty by assaulting us, even in our workplace. God, however, provides us with coping skills (Galatians 5: 22, 23). Therefore, when your co-workers attack you and say, Girl, I wouldnt take that from him. Hes your boss, not your daddy, You can rest assured that God has taken care of this situation.Develop a long-term trust. Start today! References: Coombes, A (February 26, 2006).
