My boss has temper fits like a child
my boss a well known vitiligo dermatologist in LA has anger issues! she got upset over a positive "yelp" comment made about me from one of her pts...she threw her cell phone at me standing 5 ft away from her...she threw it at me with such force the iPhone broke open! Staff told me she once got mad at an employee she threw crystal drinking glasses...staff walks on egg shells around her. any suggestions

Sounds like she needs anger management classes

Ur um.. .lawsuit! Or complain to the board that gave her the license! File an anonymous report on her to Simone!??? The question is who??? But I would look for another job like yesterday! I would actually let her hit me with something and have her arrested! She she now knows u guys r scared of her and its time for u all to team up and stand up against her! But everyone look for another job! She is a practicing Dr and there are code of ethics regarding employees as well! Fight back! Its time for her to learn a very valuable lesson! Every professional with a degree/ license must observe certain codes! Get her shutdown if necessary cuz sum think they r so high and mighty that they can't fall too!

She needs to take more deep breaths and maybe exercise a little more and for sure stay prayed up

So sorry you're having to go through that. We all need our jobs and benefits so I understand why you haven't simply resigned. However, and you probably have already considered this, it might be time to put some feelers out discretely about other positions because she's the proprietor and nothing short of all her nurses, clerks, lab techs, and patients leaving will force her to change. When they're part of a group there's pressure to control such immature urges. I get surveys about my physician's performance every few months. I witnessed this type of behavior years ago while at an ENT's office with my young son. We could clearly hear him screaming at an employee through a closed door- it was really horrible, making him look like an idiot- it was hard to look him in the eye when he came in. Best wishes in deciding whether to stay or leave.

Talking won't help. First, be on the lookout for when she does something RIGHT or NICE. Write her a note each day that happens, complimenting her honestly. Eventually, she will look for those notes! When that happens, supplement it with 1 sentence voice of honest appreciation. Do not mention her anger. Once your relationship clearly improves, tell short stories about times you were confused, fearful, or angry. Do not try to help her at this point. After doing that for 2 weeks, ask her occasionally if she ever felt like you felt. Over time, you can bring into the stories tales of how you used self-control to advantage. Maybe by counting to 10 or taking a walk or meditating. Be alert as to when she seems ready to listen to you and when not. Eventually she will try to adapt some of your tales to her needs. Allow for about 6 months for the process to unfold. Mike mikerael30@yahoo.com

Whoa!!!! Whatever you do, don't let her find out about the attorney being interested in her at your behest. Stay out of her way as much as possible. Be safe!

I just have to ask, is this a joke? I imagine you make a very descents salary working for a Dermatologist in LA. However, this sounds like something straight out of a TV Show! Who in Earth could be that evil, and not sitting on a FAT fucking stack of lawsuits!!? Last time I checked, physical, emotional, and hostile work environment by LAW will not be tolerated. What you wrote makes me sick and angry. It sounds to me like there's been a pattern of abuse that for whatever reason has been tolerated, and not reported. I'm telling you right now that I have worked at a job with the meanest, miserable, HORRIBLE boss ever! Everyone was afraid to report her because of her job status, and how it would trickle down. You could be the one that reports this horrible excuse for a human being. This is someone that is trusted to work on people's SKIN! You have an obligation to do the right thing. She has absolutely NO business coming close to anyone!!!!!!

Well, you do have choices..... You could find another job, OR.... You could research how to get her committed. At the very least - is it a private practice? If not, then go over her head with these concerns. You might get lucky enough to have her forced into Anger Management classes!

Just because she is your manager give respect, you all can report her call corporation.
Report her to the board association.
