Ticked your boss off? Make it better in 5 easy steps!
Have you ticked your boss off and don’t know what to do? Oh yes you have, that’s why you’re here.
Thankfully, Brad Isaac shares his best tips in 5 Ways to Disarm a Grumpy Boss:
It is Monday Morning. You walk into work and your boss is grumpy. What do you do? Do you skulk off to your cubicle? Do you turn around and go home - to later call in sick? A grumpy boss can suck all the air out of a room. He or she can cause worry among the staff and lead to an overall negative work environment if something isn’t done.
Brad saves his best tip for last: Stay away.
If you’ve ticked me off, then it’s probably best that you stay away. But what else can you do?
Well, you can read all of Brad’s tips for ticking off an angry boss, and that’ll give you some great tips.
Or you could just stay away from people altogether. Yeah, that’ll work. :)

Hi Phil (and Brad);
Staying away is one method. I once had the grumpiest bosses around when I was in Corporate America. He rarely promoted anyone but he eventually promoted me.
How?
If I could introduce you to my story “Harry the Bank Boss,” I think you’ll be shocked at how it happened.
