Working for a Wobblyhead

Question:

What to do if you have to work for an immediate boss who only cares about himself and put himself in a very high crown and put you down. I am living in a working environment, the least you can say about is dirty, lousy or unhealthy. For example my boss has stopped verbal communication with me and I reacted by stopping going to his office to discuses business. Not only that, If he has nobody else except me to do cretin task for him, he does not requeste it directly from me. What he does he send it to a third party to ask me. I got very much frustrated.
What also makes it hard for me to fight back is that, he is very much supported by our manager because thy are relatives.
Would you tell me how live with him in piece ?

The Truth As I See It!
How can you live with him in peace? Simple! You can't! The more you try, the more frustrated you will become. Liken it to banging your head against a wall.
There are a majority of bosses that are impossible to get along with and you have the misfortune of working for one. Perhaps he even takes some cruel pleasure in tormenting you; some do.
I say it's time for you to cut your losses and bail out on the job. Go find a place where you are appreciated and where you can enjoy the necessary evil of work. Staying where you are will only result in a slow and painful career death. Do you want that? I don't think so! It may be difficult to consider doing but you have no other options.
So start looking for something else right away. The sooner you are out of that disagreeable environment the better.

I do thank you very much for your sincere advice you e-mailed me on November 27, 1998. It sounds as of you are living with us. You are absolutely right when you said "Liken it to banging your head against a wall". This is exactly what has happened. I have tried so hard to go along with him but unfortunately it seems to be liken banging my head against the wall. I will take your advice for grant and look for another place where my work can be appreciated. I will keep you updated in my way out of this dark tunnel.
