Hello everyone! I want some advice: our company got a new owner. The previous one was great, he brought everyone together and supported us. The new owner, however, can swear at people and treat employees rudely. Some people have already quit and I’m thinking about it too, but the pay is still the same and the work is interesting.
What do you think, could things get better or will I have to leave after all?
Thanks.

    Let the weakness of the new owner of the company be your strength. Accepting change in a work place is not some thing very easy to go with. Adjust... yourself and accept the change of ownership. more

  • Hey Bret, what’s up with you today?

  • Things can get better and they can get worse. Are you a gambler?

  • This is a very important challenge and a very difficult one but you still have to endure. Remember there is no condition that is permanent moreover ... in every obstacle thereare some good opportunities to learn. Therefore stay there and learn more and understand the dynamics of different leaders.

  • Continue to work and fund your dreams.

  • Be respectful, pray for him daily, and leave him in God's hands , and watch
    Him work on your behalf.

  • Great question. Embrace the change, however, when he swears and treats other rudely, show the disappointment in his actions by your silence. If it... turns on you, I would let him/her know I respond better when I’m respected as you would want to be. more

  • 90% of the time people don't leave jobs, they leave managers, in this case, is anyone paying attention to the main point here which is abusive... behavior from a business owner who feels he can do it with no consequence. Never stay in a position that makes you uncomfortable regularly and definitely don't stay to try and win him over. We should not have to subject ourselves to unacceptable behavior for a pay check. Find what makes you happy somewhere else and create the peace you need and want to get your job done. more

  • Everyone should be dedicating just 2-4 hours a week to building a part-time business that, in a couple of years, could allow you to be your own... boss—earning more money and enjoying the freedom to live life on your terms. If that sounds interesting, let's chat! more

  • do have the enew owner as a friend and learn from him

  • Don't quit your job because others are quitting. Let the dust settle with the new boss. Once he sees your performance and capability he might change.... However, If his behavior continues to affect you, and you want to quit, then look for plan B, a better job situation before leaving the one you have. Remember that the new employer will check your performance of your pervious job. more

  • Conditions change and so do the people. Use the opportunity to ask for a raise in order to endure the harsher conditions. If they so no ask if you... can put in a "Swear" jar while you search for another position elsewhere. more

  • its good to show your capability and performance to your level best despite hardship and drew back you are facing in.One day you will be... recognised as great achiever who withstand challenges.Keep on pushing ,if it came to worse then u can find another door which is open.

  • If its giving you hard time, Try being patient as u get another job then quit but for now, I wouldn`t advise u to leave.

  • Make it fun and next time he curses, Show him a Pink Bar of soap

  • You could have a discussion with him. Make "I" statements. You could say, for example, "I do not like it when I see you being rude to people. I... want my management team to be a role model for how people should treat one another.". When you see him being rude, in the moment you may say, "I don't like it when I hear somebody say WHATEVER HE SAID. I think it is rude, it is uncalled for, and there are other, more effective words you could say". Many people in management positions are not true managers; they are bosses. A boss just gives orders. A manager is far more interesting and more successful in the long run. "I want the company and you to be successful. This is what I want you to try". more

  • Please do not quit because others are quitting if the work environment is not a threat to your mental health. Don't forget why you joined the company.... You are more better to adjust to the attitude of your new boss rather than quitting. Know your boss likes and dislikes and you can work with him or her if that is the only problem people are basing on to quit the job. Learn to face challenges head on instead of running away from challenges. For how long will you continue to hop from one job to the other if you don't brace yourself to work with people with diverse attitude.  more

  • It's the good and productive workers who are first to leave in these situations. The market doesn't reward staying in a company. changing jobs offer... larger wage increases than staying with the same employer. The company should be trying to keep you loyal. If his actions are serious then have all coworkers fill out a journal of infractions and after enough evidence take it to HR. But like I said the good workers know when the ship is going under and will jump. Know your worth more

  • You seem to like the work and your pay. That is great. It is also good to realize that you have no say in the ownership matters.
    Generally all of us... are resistant to change. Somebody may have been disciplined and may be poisoning the atmosphere. Otherwise you may have to figure out what you dislike about him and whether you can live with it. If yes, adapt yourself, otherwise figure out whether you can discuss the matter or start looking for a change.
    Good luck.

  • I would give it some time, especially given that you like the work. If the new owner continues to act like a jerk, schedule an appointment with him... (if you’re his subordinate) and tell him unemotionally that you find his behavior to be unsettling and why and how it affects the overall atmosphere at work. Tell him you like your work but are telling him this in the hope he can modify his behavior for overall harmony at work.  more

  • If a new owner is treating staff rudely or swearing at people, it’s unlikely things will change unless they want to improve and take action—otherwise,... workplace culture often gets worse. Protect your well-being and watch for any positive shifts, but if toxic behavior continues, it’s reasonable to start looking for a healthier environment. more
