I'll have been at my current job 8 years this year. We've had a few managers in that time and I've always gotten on pretty well with them all, and during that time I've been promoted to deputy manager (just to be clear before people think this is a jealousy thing I did not apply for, or want, the manager job as the hours don't suit me and the pay increase is pittance anyway). I've always had pretty good feedback on my work and no real issues. New manager started a couple of weeks ago and I really hate her. She's rude, abrupt and disrespectful. (I take comfort in knowing other people have the same impression of her so it's not personal to me I think, just her 'management style'). I am already applying for other jobs and am desperate to leave (which I'm sad about as in may ways I've always been happy working here up until now) but I genuinely don't know how to get through the intervening period. I can't afford to just quit, but the thought of going into work and dealing with her every day is just horrendous. I've actually been in tears most of the day. If you have a nightmare boss how do you cope? Do you just grit your teeth everyday get on with it, or have you learnt techniques to make it more bearable?
