Difficult Employees
by Candice ADear Sue:
It seems as though most of the questions you receive are written from frustrated employees who work for difficult bosses. My question is a bit different. I am the boss, and am struggling with difficult employees. I am young, so I am not sure if this is about me or not.
Whenever I request something to be done, rather than take ownership, everyone seems to take his or her time completing the task. Sometimes I have to follow up several times before anything ever gets done.
I am trying to establish good working relationship with these people, but the way they are acting is getting in the way. I am not sure how to handle these people or this situation.

Working for a Control Freak
July 30, 2007 by Candice ADear Sue:
I work for someone who is impossible to please. She blows up easily, and is a control freak. Her demands are relentless and unrealistic. She expects miracles, and stresses out everyone around her. Because she is so intense, it is impossible to approach her, and we end up suffering as a result. What are our options?
