You have a bad boss: a screamer, a boss who plays favorites, a die-hard narcissist. You spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about your boss to anyone who will listen. Everybody agrees: your boss is bad. But what does commiserating do for your job satisfaction and career goals?

Absolutely nothing.

You can’t change your boss and, chances are, you’re not in a position to change jobs. What you can change is how you perceive your boss and how you work your boss to your advantage.
