How do you make a angry boss calm down?

Answer 1

If he is angry because of a miscommunication, then rectify it with guts. Better to have guts and be right, then to be found out right and a wimp.

If he is angry because YOU made a mistake and he is responsible for YOU (or your team) then apologise and state a reasonable 'punishment' for your mistake, eg, staying back after work and fixing it. (if it is your mistake, and it's big, you have to wear it)

If the boss is angry with you because of someone else's mistake, then rectify it with guts. Better to have guts and be right, then to be found out right and a wimp. Even volunteer to correct it in your own time, it may help you.

if he is just feeling down over the past week to 8 years, there is NOTHING wrong with showing appreciation for their hard work. Write a letter, give a gift, DON'T SEND AN email, do something that show you've noticed, even if its a simple anonymous letter of thanks (even better) and understanding for the work they put in.

For them to just calm down during a rage, it is very difficult for any boss/human to do that, pride is on the line, and often when pride is hurt we do stupid things to make it worse, though we think we're making it better. You just have to be honest and say, that it is unacceptable and there are work standards. You actually don't have to put up with it.

My advice would be work hard and do a job you love, or get a hobby at home you can look forward to. Maybe your family is your hobby, then find that love to treat them right and be treated right. If not, then you can fill your day with expectations. That will make standing up to an irrational boss much easier. I always know, when I am happy, I stand up for what is right. When all is lost, i falter within my own rights.

YOU HAVE RIGHTS AS A HUMAN AND A WORKER, NEVER FORGET IT.
