The important thing to remember is that you always have a choice about where to spend your time, your life and your career.  Don’t let anyone tell you different.

The employer-employee relationship can sometimes be a difficult one to balance. It is easy to stay at a job that you like, and your comfort with the job will mostly have to do with the people that you work with. There are many different reasons as to why you may not have a good rapport with you boss, but if any of the ones that we list pertain to you, then you may want to start looking for a more suitable working environment.

If you have a boss that holds his power over your head constantly, then you should consider leaving. Work can become difficult when your employer uses the fact that he pays you to get you to work harder. Yes, he is right, but you should work in a place where you feel encouraged and inspired. Your employers should be good leaders and not feel the need to act like dictators to get you to work hard.

If you feel that your opinions and feelings are being rejected by your employer, then the job is probably not a good fit. If he values your viewpoints as little more than complaints, then a working relationship will probably not be possible. You need to work in a place where you feel as if you’re valued and heard. Don’t get stuck working for someone who refuses to make changes, because that will crush your creativity.

Avoid working for someone who brings you down. If your employer says your work is terrible then he is a terrible leader. Bringing someone down does not inspire them, and you should not have to deal with someone else’s anger in the workplace.

Really though, these are just a few suggestions.  The important thing to remember is that you always have a choice about where to spend your time, your life and your career.  Don’t let anyone tell you different.
