Oftentimes, bosses release their anger towards subordinates. Not everyone can tolerate such psychological abuse. That is why it is necessary to know about the methods of confronting aggression.
If you understand that your boss is out of sorts today, and you have to meet with him, then imagine a conflict situation in advance. Play in your head what might happen. Be clear about your response phrases that won't sound rude, but will protect your personal dignity.
Another good way to deal with aggression is to smile. The mood tends to pass from one person to another. The boss, seeing on your face a benevolent smile, simply cannot play the role of a strict employer.
To counter the boss’s aggression, pretend that you’re not the target of the boss’s aggression. Take a look at the situation from the perspective of another person or even an object. Imagine what is happening in the world at this time: people die, cataclysms occur, galaxies explode. Against the background of universal problems, the boss's anger will seem to you a mere trifle.
Neutral phrases are a good way to deal with anger. These include the following: "yes, it is," "I completely agree with you," "what to do, life is like that." Repeated repetition of these phrases can lead the employer to a stupor. In fact, you will not say anything offensive, but these phrases will let your boss know that you are not in the mood for conflict.
