They should dock their pay.

I think it depends on if you enjoy your job or not, I mean, if you dont like it than quit! that is if you have another job. If the time schedule is inconvienient, talk to your boss.

The best advice I can offer is to lead by example and get your employees to want to work for you. Remember, employees are not there to help their boss, the boss is there to help the employees.

Thanks to Big Blue and their being the pioneers in "downsizing", this is a common scenario nowadays. \n\nSpread the workload as evenly as possible, ask for and pay attention to their input and implement ideas worthy of consideration where possible. BE HONEST if at all possible. Understand that workers today are wearing several hats and stress is so thick in the workplace it can be sliced up for sandwiches. Reward loyalty and do not encourage suckups.

Not all bosses are like that.  Sometimes they need to be though because if someone who works for them screws up, they get into trouble with their boss or if it is their business they endure financial hardship because of the person's screw up.  Essentially, it is their job to make sure things are done right and if they have incompetent people working for them, things are frequently done wrong.

Allocating responsibility is usually a good motivator. That way they have to work for both themselves and the group's success. If you just take all the duites for yourself, that's when they'll be slackers.\n\nAs far as bosses, they'd rather see you take charge than chicken out and avoid blame. Just go for it.

get a new job or make your boss give you more hrs/ maybe you could do the cooking and cleaning around the house or rub her feet at the end of her day

Tell them you have deadlines to meet and that you really can't stand around and talk to them. Try to keep working the best you can. Ask them if they would please let you get your work done and maybe you could arrange to meet them after work.

If you've had a good relationship with your bosses, I'd say give them as much notice as you can.  They will appreciate it and so will the others in the office who will end up doing your job if  someone new isn't in place by the time you leave.  You're leaving anyway, so why not give them a break?

I, too, am second in charge at my job.  The best way I've found to deal with timid bosses is to first talk to them about the problem.  You are there to help them, so help.  Approach your boss in a non-threatening way, one-on-one, and discuss your concerns.  You could say "I've noticed other employees not adhering to the company policies. I know we don't want to send the message that this is acceptable. What do you think we could do to discourage this?"  If your boss tries to skirt the issue or tries to blow you off, be firm.  You could also say "I know coaching and corrective action isn't one of the fun aspects of your job, and I'd be happy to help you with this (if you truly are).  Let's get a game plan together so we can be sure we are on the same page with this"  This way your boss should get the hint that something needs to be done, and you are willing to help, yet you don't have to go over her head or make her feel like she can't do her job correctly.  Good Luck!

It depends how bad you need the job, but if you have options, call him/her on it.  When he is cruel, tell him you do not deserve to be treated that way.  When he is self-serving (show me a boss that isn't), don't make it easy on him.  When he is lazy, tell him you are simply too busy to do trivial tasks and ask if he could please do it.  Bottom line:  Stand up for yourself!  He will respect you more if you stand up for yourself then if you roll over in submission.

If you're his boss (you didnt say) thats easy, you posture him.  If you work under him, if you want to keep your job you have to roll with it.  Find a happy place in your mind and go there when his gums start flapping.\n\nIf you love the job, learn to deal with it.  If it doesnt matter, there is always Monster.com for jobs, or better if you have a network of friends or potential employers.

The suggestions above will work well with most managers, but there are some who have more specific ways of working that make day-to-day interaction challenging. Here are some typical "difficult boss"personalities and remedies for dealing with them.\n\nBoss type: The Micro-Manager (controlling, overly involved)\nRemedy: Your boss needs to develop more confidence in you. Begin by asking for complete responsibility on smaller tasks and then work your way up to bigger tasks. Be sure to deliver consistently excellent work or you may lose that trust quickly.\n\n\nBoss type: The Non-Manager (indecisive, hesitant, vague)\nRemedy: Instead of asking open-ended questions, give him a few choices and one clear recommendation. Counteract vagueness by asking for clarification. Avoid procrastination on your boss's part by communicating your deadlines and following up on what you need.\n\n\nBoss type: The Unreasonable Manager (crushes you with work)\nRemedy: Schedule a meeting to discuss priorities and options for what you can and cannot handle. Suggest bringing in a contractor to help during peak periods.

If this woman has to have a man help her all the time then she is not doing the job.  The boss needs to replace her with someone who will do the job.  It does not matter if that person is a man or woman.  All that should matter to a good boss is getting the job done.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.\n\nbefriend this person, don't complain about them any more, and wham when ever they say  bad - you can casually mention to the boss which is negative about the job or your boss let your boss know :)  Yeah be a backstabber/brown noser
