Mommy Boss On The Warpath

From: David in Long Beach, CA

Question

I worked with a total hyper mommy boss. She totally destroyed my self-esteem and my confidence. She was so afraid that I would or could succeed and maybe even do a better job than her, that she monitored my every move at work, adding to it personal insults. She was so critical of me (personally insulting) and my work, that I had to leave my new job after only 3 months. A real career setback for me with income loss.

Question: How can guys get educated on dealing with mommy bosses and get their self-esteem back after going through a career ruining, esteem draining bitch of a boss.

I have a Master's Degree in my field and this mommy business has set me back so much, that I have even had thoughts of extreme actions.

This mommy was even promoted to a higher office (unbelievable) and was mostly hated by most of the staff where she left.

Where can we men find help for the phenomena of mommy bitch bosses.

Please help! What Happened?

Take a breath! Now, let it out. Again.

Mommy’s are not to be “dealt with”. You have already found out that your two options are do nothing---or run!

So you chose option number two- Big deal. Get on with your life and don’t allow the Mommy Mindset under your skin. Forget "extreme actions" and now chose option number one- Do Nothing! It’s YOUR self-esteem, not hers.

Laugh it off- SHE has to live with herself for the rest of her life-and you don’t!
