DEALING WITH BAD BOSSES

The comedy Horrible Bosses opened in theaters over the weekend. But, for many people, having a bad boss isn't a laughing matter. It's a fact of life.

If you're stuck with an unreasonable manager, here are some tips on how to cope -- at least until you can escape to a better gig:

Be Adaptable -- You know it's going to get rocky, so be prepared to roll with the punches and adapt to the challenges the boss throws at you.

Communicate Constantly -- Maintain open lines of communication with your boss, even if the conversations are unpleasant. The more you talk and e-mail, the less chance there is for misunderstandings and drama.

Don't Take It Personally -- Bad managers are not necessarily bad people. They might be unpleasant because they don't like or know how to handle the position.

Think Big Picture -- When times get tough, consider the reasons you're sticking around. Make sure your end game is worth the pain of dealing with your lousy boss.
