My fellow colleagues needed yr advice on how to deal with a bad supervisor?
I ve been working in this company for the past 6yrs and I do enjoyed my work,So do my fellow colleagues.(my department has 6 ppl)
Everyone of us knows each other for many yrs and has became good friends.However,the company employed a supervisor abt 8 months ago and things turned for the worst.He loves "ordering" us around.He has no respect for others.He was indeed "backstabbing" us and made very clear he is totally in charge. & And should anyone who do what he said, his annual appraisal WILL BE AFFECTED!
During one incident, a senior colleague had sprained his leg but didn't consult a Doctor or Physician.We later learnt that he was scared that he will be scolded by him (Supervisor)
This Supervisor loves to use our Annual Performance Appraisal to intimidate us.He can easily fault us if he was in a bad mood.Since the day he joined, he had never interested to show any care.Instead he loves telling us stories abt his previous job and how he hire and fire someone if he doent like the person.It left us puzzled & speechless.We aren't exaggerating and all of us are extremely worried that he will find fault wif us and we will be at the losing end as well as our rice bowl..Please can anyone help to advice

Unfortunately, I have had my share of bad supervisors. What worked for me was fairly simple. Concentrate on the job, follow the rules, smile and play nice. Don't give the supervisor anything to legitimately fault you for. Bad supervisors are likely short-lived - their bad performance will be noticed and they will be dealt with. So your major focus is to to do a good job, and let the supervisor get caught in their own web.

Some people spend their whole lives complaining about everything and everybody, as if the culprits were all the time in his front... Barely know these people, the real culprits are within themselves. Sometimes we let our happiness in the hands of others, and we complain for not having a satisfactory return, but if we can not embrace our own happiness, who will ensure that someone else will do differently for us?
This way, i finish this brief inspiration, which makes me think that "Sometimes" life can be different. . .
At the moment we believe faithfully in our ability, without blaming the next by our own mistakes. . .We will do all the difference.

He is a sick nasty cruel bully and all of you need to write a letter to whoever is over him and tell that person exactly what is going on. This is workplace bullying at its worst and cannot and should not be tolerated. Then you all need to file a grievance with HR, and if nothing is done after that, you can bring a class action suit against the company. You will win because that is actually illegal.
