Comment on Ask HN: Any experience of senior colleagues who had a consistent rude demeanor?

Comments

Yeah, three times.

The first time it was my boss in a very small company (8 people total) After trying to work it out with her, receiving an apology, but then going back to the same attitude, I went to the company owner, and we arranged a way to work 100% separately. I left a few months after.

Second time it was a high level person in a big company, similar to your case. I tried to stay out of their way, then I transferred inside the company but far away.

Third time it wasnt my boss, it was the boss for a contractor. He continuously mistreated his employees, yelled to them, and they were mostly young people around 20 years old in their first job. I tried to get all of them jobs elsewhere and mostly succeeded, I also don't really talk to him unless needed and actively ignore him.

So: going over their head or GTFO
