How to Handle the Silent Treatment

I think most all of us have, at some point in our careers, had a difficult relationship with a supervisor. While some supervisors are motivating, reliable, and well-intentioned, some supervisors can be close-minded, reserved, and difficult to communicate with. Kayleen Schaefer from the College Journal addresses the question “What to do when a boss gives you the silent treatment?”

Question: My boss doesn’t communicate with me. I sit three feet away, and she e-mails me about everything. I admire her drive, but she doesn’t include me in meetings or have confidence in me to do things. The company’s owner asked if he could get us an assistant and have me take on more responsibility. She said no. How should I handle this?

Answer: While your boss may be focused and hardworking — on paper, an ideal employee — it doesn’t seem like she’s doing her job. A big part of being a manager, and one that is often overlooked while a company is busy churning out widgets, is to develop relationships with the employees who work for them…

Kayleen’s answer is much more in depth than the snippet shown above, be sure to follow the link through and let us know if you’ve ever been in a similar situation. How did you handle it?

    I am a owner of a small neighborhood bar. I experience, almost daily, some sort of issue whether it be me trying to keep my bartenders from drinking while on the job or taking a smoke break outside every 15 minutes. I had finally had it and had a meeting with an employee who has been there for several years and another who has been there for about 30days. The 30 day gal has been giving me the silent treatment every since this meeting. I had a charity event for autistic children, she ignored me when she came, I emailed her, no response, I left her a voicemail saying I would like to take her to lunch and discuss our differences/concerns, she texted me the following day at 5pm saying she was busy this week but will try and catch up???…..she is in cahoots with many of my customers and my staff so it makes me scared to let her go…….HELP….advice please!!

    One of the best and simplest hair loss treatment for men is amla oil. Amla oil is prepared by boiling dry pieces of amla in coconut oil. Massage the oil over the scalp and leaved it on for an hour before shampooing.Try a volume enhancing shampoo and try not to use heavy or moisturising shampoos as these can weigh down the hair, making it look thinner. Ideally, choose salon products or other high quality hair care products.
