  1. I think nobody deserves to be bullied – even if it is by your own boss. I definitely agree that the best way to deal with a bully boss is to get rid of him and be your own boss. Really. We are all entitled to get respected and if your boss is not respecting you as a human being, he is not worth working for.

    1. I totally agree with you. I know for some this maybe a not so big issue but for many it is. Who would want to go to work everyday and take all the insults of your bully boss? I mean, some of this insults may be a joke but it still hurts.

      But then, we should still learn to adapt in this behavior of your boss. Since you are an employee, you are the one who needs to adjust with him. One thing that you can do is to ignore him. That is the best way to deal with your bully boss. In that way, you can continue your job and focus on your work alone.

      On the other hand, This is the main reason why I wanted to start my own business. I will no longer worry about how to deal with my boss who keeps on bullying me. So have you heard of wealthy affiliate before?

  2. I really like your last tip on how to deal with a bullying boss. I know this feeling very well. I had a manager appointed above me that was just terrible.

    He would call me names such as cow bladder which was not that great as you might have guessed. It was my first real job and that guy drove me to depression.

    He also started to intimidate me, with threads and so on. Luckily he moved very far away.

    1. I feel you man. It really sucks if you encounter a bully boss especially if it is just your first day at work. I mean, why could they just be nice and be supportive in all your works done. In that way you will feel boosted and will give you more drive to do better in your job.

  3. Hi John Rico,

    It’s great that there is someone who is trying to give some advice of how to deal with a bullying boss. Fortunately, I don’t have a bullying boss at the moment, but you never know 😉

    Your tips are great and they are very helpful especially the last one because being your own boss absolutely prevents you from being bullied 🙂

    What would you recommend to become your own boss?

    Cheers

    1. Hi there Don! You are lucky if you don’t have a boss. But for many of us, there is a bully boss that we need to see everyday in order to earn money. As for your question about how to be your own boss. I highly recommend that you start your own business.

  4. Love this website- Based on my favourite book of all time Rich Dad Poor Dad. I like the way you have described the painful life of working a 9-5. This is the actual reason why I joined wealthy affiliate, also its quite refreshing to find a website with my plan exactly. Have you generated any leads for wealthy affiliate on here? have you managed to escape the rat race as of yet? would be nice hear how your getting on.

    1. HI there! It’s exciting to know someone that also follows rich dad poor dad lessons. Actually as of now I am still on the phase of building the foundation of my online business. That is to build valuable content. I am still on my second month and I think I still have a long way to run.

      About escaping the rat race, Unfortunately not yet. However, Sooner or later I know I will be getting out of it through Wealthy Affiliate. Wealthy Affiliate is a program that teaches newbies like me on how to build our own business to generate passive income. I am fortunate enough to learn this program at an early time. And I believe that it is not too late for anyone to start their own wealthy affiliate journey.

  5. Hello there!
    I really enjoyed this post of yours since I can relate. I work at not too pleasant place and I have to deal daily with a boss who is not the most friendly person on earth. Words of appreciation and encouragement are alien to his lips! This post helped me a lot and gave me courage to confront him with more confidence in the future.
    Thank you so much for sharing. Great photos too!

    1. Hi Katerina! My goal in here is provide helpful tips to those like me struggle with dealing with their bully boss. I really don’t know why the bosses are like that. Instead of praising and giving encouragement to their employees so that they can be more motivated in work, they give rude comments instead. One word of advice, Just continue believing in yourself and don’t let anyone especially your boss degrade you as a human being.

  6. These are some good tips for how to handle these types of situations. Thankfully, I have never had to deal with a boss who was a bully, but some of these can be applied to lots of other situations as well. It is good to see that you are trying to help others on a daily basis!

    1. HI Justin! Thanks! Most of the time employees just ignore their bully bosses for the sake of keeping their job. They thought that they can’t get out of that daily judging and criticism. Fortunately there is a way in order for you to get rid of bully boss forever. It is to be your won boss which I already discussed in the article above 🙂

  7. Great page! Found it to be very informative overall with a good template in place. Use of visuals I thought was very good and the overall layout made the look of the imagery quite appealing I thought with an overall great design. The look and feel of the page was good but I would have added some more meat to the text.

    1. Hi There! Thanks! Giving real and concise information to the readers is my main goal. I see to it that every post that I make will short and straight to the point, in that way the readers will save time and start taking action. But still I will look into it. Thanks again!

  8. Really like your network marketing topic, I have tried a few and probably never gave it enough time. Are you currently working with a mlm company? You list it as legit and was wondering if you were. I do like the way your site is organized, easy to read and follow

    1. Hi Bob! Yes, network marketing is legit. But right now I am still on my first step which is finding a good network marketing company to join in. And my focus at this moment of time is on affiliate marketing. But surely in the future after I established the foundation of my online business, I will definitely venture the network marketing path 🙂 If ever I already joined in one, I will show you the information immediately.

  9. Hello, thank you for inspiring article. You are right, it is better to work hard couple years and latter be free from rat race, working from 9 till 5 till retirement.
    Sometimes boss can be nice fellow, but anyway, he makes decisions not you or me.
    I would prefer to be my own boss. There so many great opportunities how to provide for yourself and your family.
    If somebody has a passion, it can be turned to website, where it can be shared with visitors, latter with customers.
    Working for yourself, planning your own time is a big responsibility. Anyway, it is worth, because freedom is expensive.
    Thanks for advices, how to deal with bullies for now. I wish that your visitors would choose an other option: to work for themselves.
    All the best, happy writing, Nemira.

    1. Hi there! I agree with everything you said. Learning on how to deal with a bullying boss is just the first step of you realizing that you should be your own boss. This means that you should build your own business. But usually, when people hear about building business they are scared away from it. It is because they think that it is too complicated for them and going to work from 9-5 is much easier.

      People should realize that building your own business at this present time is simple because of technology. Wealthy Affiliate is one example of program that offers step by step guide on how you can start building your business. By the way, what do you think about online business at home?
