^^ How to deal with difficult people..

Yelling at someone is considered domestic abuse. She is way out of line. There is nothing normal or common about this except the fact that a lot of people do not know how to handle themselves enough not to yell at people.

People do not have to yell at people to get points across or even when they are angry. The fact that she does this is a sign that she is not qualified for her position.

Her actions are interfering with the bottom line at your company. It is her problem not yours. just be darn sure that if you tag her for this that you don’t’ do it. Because Wouldn’t you be able to talk to someone above her?

I mean you could learn to teach her to be better I learned those skills from the Steven Covey books but, do you really have the strength or time to be her psychotherapist right now.

I’m sorry, some people are just HARD to live with. If she acts rashly, you should report her. You don’t have to put up with that treatment if it isn’t right.
However, you could also just play it nice and try to be her friend. And hope things get better, but for a quicker and more positive outcome, I would go with option #1, report her to a higher authority.

Is there any way you could advance your skills some and start sending resume’s out for other jobs. If you want to increase your pay, this is one of the better ways to do that anyway, unless you work for an employer that understands how to help their employees go up in the company. Doesn’t sound like you have that.

Sorry your in that situation.

There is a possibility that you could still report her but do it in a way that’s “for the business.” You can do some research on how productivity is compromised with someone leading like that and how the business’ bottom line is in danger unless she changes. This could have the possibility of showing the business matters to you as well as not take any personal attack since you wont be some person with a problem, rather you are rallying for the business’ bottom line. There’s gotta be someone who would take that seriously. If not, for your sake find another employer.
