What Do I Do About Patronizing Manager

What do I do about patronizing manager?

She has small gal syndrome. Basically what she has done is put herself under the dilusion that no one can do this job quite as well as she can, and so has trouble letting go. People do it to validate their sense of importance.

I would bring it up to the boss and let him know. Because quite frankly what's she's doing is NOT helpful. First off, it's clear you can't concentrate, and it kills your confidence, as well as your ability to work to 100% effectiveness. But a question is, how is she suppose to be doing her job at 100% effectiveness if she's busy telling you what to do.

Patronizing manager. What to do?

I am new to work, and my manager seems to be more patronizing to me than other new coworkers.

For example, during a meeting when we were going through my task list, my manager simply voiced out "you're going to be doing alot of those". He has no reason to interfere there as I was the one talking.

And, also, he sometimes comes up to me and asks stuffs like "why arent you working" or anything that could show he can "direct" me.

He does these with me only, and with other new joiners. How can i reply his banters?

Are all managers patronizing?

No.Not all of them are. The best managers treat you with respect, and groom you to become better you: more diligent, more detail-oriented, more enthusiastic, more powerful.Best managers want you to be promoted, they want to see you succeed, they want to mentor you, they see your potential, they want you to succeed them or even skip a level and be promoted.There are not many such managers out there but if you find one, s/he will change your life.

How do you professionally deal with a patronizing manager that expects you to do the grunt work and he takes the credit for it?

I travel extensively for work, helping develop, grow business and speaking. I learned this thing called leading from the middle in AR. Being a strong woman in AR is not an easy thing to be so I had to learn to fit in, lead but not look like i was leading.A patronizing manage is little more than a spoiled child trying to feel important. If you do your job, and make them look good while doing your job they will have no choice but to acknowledge that and basically back off. So I suggest you do the best job you can, and give them the credit, knowing it will come back to you in a massively positive way, if you do it correctly. This is not a kiss up, or anything like that. Example, when the bigger boss, most people have bosses sees the work you have done, which they will say something, you simple say, “Yes my manager XYG is very supportive and helpful.” Do not laugh and do not choke on the words. Your manager will initially be shocked, but eventually they will come around. Offer things like, “How can I do my job better?, What can I do to take pressure off you?” To your manager and make sure to follow through!This will make your work environment less hostile for you and everyone working there. It is a different way to approach the same issue. Sometimes if you step out of your vision, and see the issue from another perspective you will find a create and maybe like me fun way of handling it totally differently. Play with it, you will get good at it, and your work, home, and health will thank you for it. Here to be of service. “Together we are strong as a tribe.”

How to deal with patronizing remarks from co-workers?

Hmm.. I don't agree with the first 3 remarks. It's easy for a guy to say "grow a thicker skin".

If the girls/guys started calling you "boy", I am almost certain you would not like it.

The people who are saying it's my problem, probably are the types who do it.

I don't mind my friends calling me hon or sweetheart or even girl as a joke - but these are my co-workers.

If I am competing with them and they are telling me I am a "good girl" when I do something right - in anybody's book, that is rude.

The third one is right - I need to stand up for myself.

I think if they say "hi darling" I will say "hi darling" back - and if they say "good girl" I'll say "you're a good boy too".

Somebody said I need to grow up - but I think I need to mirror their childishness.

Why do people love patronizing me?

Just to clarify, I'm twenty-one years old. Not exactly a child, you know. But what I get often is people patronizing me. Even girls who are clearly younger than me will say "hun" Just earlier today, when I was at work, I asked my manager which cash register she wanted me on, and she goes, "I don't know, honey, but do you want me to walk with you? Are you okay?" And she said it slowly like I couldn't understand her. I was livid, but I obviously didn't say anything. And when I got to my register, she says to another manger, "I have a young lady here who needs a register. Can you help her?" The way she said it was very condenscending. And I ignored that, too. I would have stood up for myself, but she's a manger, and I don't want to get fired. I don't mind when old woman call me honey, but when people younger than me say it, it really grinds my gears.

What is patronizing prostitution?

It means enjoying the spread of it, patron/patronizing. A patron is like comradery, and there is enjoyment in it. They may have been supporting illegal brainwashing' sometimes victims do it.

Would you say being a marketing Manager is a hard job?

my fiance is a district marketing manager for an electrical company.. and it is indeed a very stressful job. He says, it all relies on you. You need to have a fresh idea everyday on how to make bigger profit.. It also requires a lot of analytical skills. He also told me that it is a lot harder when you are organizing or a leader of a group but you could work independently. He used to work on his own and it was a lot easier but then his boss assigned him to a group. You have to be concise, strict and always have a plan B in case your marketing strategy failed, because if it does fail... your boss will stop loving you lol. I'm serious. They don't care how you do it as long as you are giving them money and bright ideas that will keep the customers and loyal customers patronizing your product.

Hope this helps! :)
