I don’t get along well with my boss because she always wants people to feel sorry for her - about her divorce or her health. My coworkers say it would be easier if I just went along with it. But I want to respect her, not pity her. What should I do? Thanks

  • You can opt to ignore or some comforting words sometimes

  • she should leave her personal problems at home. let her focus on work

  • be yourself do your job. .. and make her see reason to be happy again

  • be yourself do your job. .. and make her see reason to be happy again

  • be yourself do your job. .. and make her see reason to be happy again

  • Be yourself and do not put yourself under pressure, but a little comforting words will be enough...
    Give her a Bible scripture if she's a believer...

  • Just know that I was her. I was going through a divorce and always crying and now I am so embarrassed and have apologized to my former staff (most of... them still work with the organization, I moved on). If anything, it has made me have more empathy as a director when my staff is going through tough things but also mentor them to practice self care and to learn to leave those things at home or with a councelor. EAP programs are a great suggestion if available. I'm not sure if she wants you to feel sorry for her or she wants someone to hear her. Managers are human too.  more
