Lucky is the man/woman who doesn't have a supercritical boss in the workplace who causes stress in everyone in the vicinity. Many people will try to resolve this stress by getting on the "good side" of that individual: commonly known as "brown nosing" or "apple polishing"; this is almost universally not successful. Some allow the boss to provoke them to anger. Neither of these techniques work since they allow the boss to invade your personal space and the boss is rewarded by a false sense of control over you and your activities...in a sense micromanaging your every move...you can never know what is correct or incorrect because the boss doesn't know what is appropriate or not appropriate in particular situations or he/she would not use this bullying technique to lead. A good boss, leader, leads by example and never asks his men or women working with him/her to do anything he/she wouldn't do. That is how you gain the respect of the troops.
If you cannot resolve problems with this type of individual try going through the company's grievance process if they have one. If none exists then try to limit yourself physically and emotionally from this type of individual because you will never win on a one to one basis. Trying to gain the approval of such an individual will never work unless you revert to the status of a slave with no mind, will or morals of your own. "Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse. Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you" (Prov. 9:7-8). Stay separate and be true to your code.

While there is no direct law at this time for bullies and mean bosses in the workplace, there are still things people can do if they can't get action from filing a complaint. I encourage as many people as I can to download an ebook called Work Laws Exposed. Written by an employment law attorney, it clearly explains exactly how to end not only bullying, but other workplace problems. It's like an insurance policy for employees. Really powerful stuff.
Thanks for the input and information. I am sure it will be helpful to a lot of people.
I had an employer in 1986-87 who read me the riot act after I was a guest on a popular radio talkshow in Kansas City. I can still hear him, "How could you do such a thing?! And on that topic, of all things???"
What was the dreaded topic? "How to be single and happy in Kansas City." I had created the class and had offered through the state university's adult ed program; free, of course.
He yelled and screamed at me for 30 minutes, but I had figured him out long before that. I knew that one day I would need a defensive strategy, and mine was to keep my mouth shut; i.e., keep my mouth shut.
When he didn't get a rise out of me, as he was sure he would, he flipped into his back-up style. I actually thought he might strike me, and I was prepared to deck him if he had, and then call the police to tell them the president was knocked out on the floor of his office, and they should come and haul him away.
If you have an angry boss or one who is manipulative, figure out your strategy. Rehearse it, so that it's automatic when needed. And then stick to it!
