How to be nasty to your boss?

Question

Hi, i've just recently resigned from my job. Currently i'm still working with my boss because she must have someone to replace me. Prob is, she has no idea that i leave because of her. I can't stand my boss. She's d**n good in her job, and highly intelligent. Thing is, she has stopped treating me nice eversince i resigned. And worse, i'm like no more in the whole team! Every project or event that goes on, i'm totally out of the loop. Hey, i mean this is quite unfair, seeing that i'm still in the department and she's not really professional towards me. With such nasty attitude, i'm quite tired being treated like a 'dummy' in the office and my colleagues started treating me the same. I'm tired and wanna seek justice for myself! Plus, she always claims that she believes in God and brags about Christianity all the time.....i wonder if that's what working in her??? I need help! Gee..i need to be nasty to my boss.....anyone??

Answer 1

There is no reason to keep you in the loop since you are not going to be there to follow through on projects.  As for her treating you badly just be the bigger person and ignore her since you are leaving soon.  You would just show a total lack of integrity by being nasty to her and it serves no purpose whatsoever.  Take the high road.

Answer 2

Don't be nasty to your boss.

It is common for supervisors to "move on" when they have a staff member resign on them. Often times, they are working weeks ahead, and are not on the same page you are on, though they try to treat you like it most of the time.

Also, your resignation, if you are any good at your job, may throw a serious stick in her spokes and disrupt all her assigned timetables. She may feel slighted, and be responding in kind to you. She also may be scrambling to accomplish all she needs to around your resignation. You see, it will take time, usually more time rather than less, to get someone else up to speed to where they will do any good. And in her mind, you are just not part of the equation any more. You are leaving, which just gives her another problem to solve... as if she didn't have enough of those already.

So, try to be understanding to her. If you have to, talk to her about it. The worst she can do is tell you everything she really thinks. And, when it comes time for a prospective employer to ask what she thought of you, anything she told you is out the window. If she doesn't like you, she doesn't. If she doesn't, and she tells you so, you know, you don't HAVE to be compelled to help her till she finds someone else...

Hope this helps...

Answer 5

Your question doesn't make sense. First you say you resigned because of her, then you say she only stopped treating you nice since you resigned. But really, I don't know what you expect. You are leaving her in the lurch, causing her great inconvenience, and you want her to be happy about it?

You are probably wrong that she "has no idea" why you resigned. Obviously it wasn't to go to another job, since you are still there. It sounds as though you "resigned" to give you power over her, and she naturally resents it. Why on earth should she still treat you as a team player or keep you in the loop? If you are going to leave, leave. It sounds as though you have already lost the respect of your colleagues.

But if you want to confirm their idea that you are acting immaturely, sure, be nasty to her. Just don't call it "justice." You have thrown a monkey wrench into that company's operation and expect to be thanked for it? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Answer 6

I never heard of anyone quit there job and still work there. Are you still on the payroll? Most people leave when they resign from a job. It's your ex-supervisor job for finding a replacement for you. Unless you put in a two week notice, That should be plenty of time to find a replacement.  

Answer 7

You don't "need to be nasty" to anyone!

I assume you are working out a notice?  Perhaps two weeks or 30 days?  In which case - it is not unusual to be "out of the loop" or "not part of the team" during your notice period.  You do your best to remain professional, courteous and respectful - but to seek vengeance or ways to "be nasty" to your boss on your way out the door?  Not a good move.  There is a kharma, there is a justice, what goes around comes around - and no point in "burning your bridges".  Leave on good terms as much as possible.

Answer 8

Hi,

Whenever she makes a snide comment, say something calmly back that is NOT rude. If you continue this she'll realize that she doesn't get the response she was looking for and she'll stop. As for the coworkers and being out of the loop try this. When you hear someone talking about it, say, "Hey! I'm still working here! What's going on?" But say it in a smiley and polite way, not a pushy way.

And the God thing, well, just ignore her again. She'll eventually shut up about her religion.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Hon, I'm afraid you have learned the hard rule about not telling people you are leaving until your foot is already out the door. Next time give the minimum notice to your boss that's required and don't tell anyone else before that time or even until the last day if you can help it.

There is really no good way to be nasty to your boss in return because she has the power to give you a bad reference. In fact, I would have somebody check what kind of a reference she gives when she's asked, just to be sure she hasn't decided to badmouth you to future employers.

You are treated like you are out of the loop because you are out of the loop now. Sorry. I hope your next job is loads happier, and a step up from this one.  

Answer 10

You have gone above & beyond the call of duty while working when "resigned." If you are uncomfortable with the treatment she is giving you, simply call up and say you won't be in any longer.
