| Jun 30, 2021 at 16:35 | comment | added | computercarguy | @E.Aigle, not that I'm advocating this, but the "untouchable" relative might only appear that way, but in reality going to their upper-management/older relative can make a difference. You are likely to get some backlash from your manager doing this, and it's also not recommended to skip over a manager in the general hierarchy of managers, but sometimes it's necessary. When talking to your boss isn't working and a situation is critical, going around the "chain of command" is warranted, and that usually means specific steps that are too detailed for here and workplace specific. | |

| Jun 30, 2021 at 9:44 | comment | added | E.Aigle | Well this is pretty usual for him, so I got support from them when he walked away, but everyone stayed quiet when he was around. He's the CEO's brother and the founder's son, so he's basically untouchable. He has screamed at me over tiny things on previous occasions. There seems to be a pattern of poor communication here, so that's why I asked a pretty broad question, to get tips for dealing with this kind of boss in general. | |
| Jun 30, 2021 at 9:37 | comment | added | Benjamin | yes, I generally give people benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise. If you think there is additional information that would help us give a more specific answer, feel free to add it to your question. e.g.: How did your coworkers react after the boss singled you out? | |
| Jun 30, 2021 at 9:28 | comment | added | E.Aigle | More senior colleagues were there with me when I spoke to the boss about the issue. We raised the concern together, and then I was singled out for "being stubborn" in agreeing with my colleagues. I think this answer gives my boss the benefit of the doubt that he may not be an asshole and is just concerned with deadlines, but I'm not sure he deserves as much. | |
