I haven’t gotten to the point where I can sincerely pray for my boss, but I’ve stopped thinking about retaliation and to let my own good work speak for itself, each time she belittles my efforts. It’s not easy but it’s keeping me sane. I do like the other idea of writing down everything boss says. LOL. At the moment, I am saving and printing out e-mails of her silliness.
Praying for your boss might not change the boss but it definitely changes your own heart. In my case, it was humbling because I started to see that he was just an insecure person intimidated by all the sharp legal and policy people we worked with, and I also saw how if I didn’t have faith in a loving and just God, I could justify similar (if not worse) behavior. Didn’t help me like him any better but it did help me loathe him a little less.
This may help.
Sincerely pray for God to notice your boss, and pray to God to notice how your boss is behaving towards you and others.
Not a bitter prayer for personal revenge, but a prayer for God to notice your plight, and to solve the problem for you.
I know people who have done just that, with two coworkers (not bosses). Two months later one of the coworkers was escorted out of the building, 6 months later the other was transferred out.
God does answer prayers.
