What's the best way to confront or discuss problems with your boss/manager? Given I do not like my manager at all, she is a completely selfish bitch.

See if your company has a mediator in HR. Don't do it alone. It might be a mistake!
-
tru a letter. no conflict or "he said she said" if something were to happen.
-
behind closed doors.
-
I'll talk to yours if you'll talk to mine. Second night this week I've come home crying. (I have a rather emotional job, and some people can be real @$$es.)

Boldly...but only if it is your character to be so. Facts are more important that anything. Make sure that you have a legitimate complaint and not some penny ante gripe. But if you feel pasionate about the error or problem then go boldly and stick to your guns! I had just such a talk with mine today...go for it! VGQ+++ -Buddy

head on ...be firm with out being rude ...be factual... if you must.. take someone with you as a witness ...make 3 copies of your complaint(1 for you 1 for her and 1 for the company) and sign and date them and see what happens you can beat managers at there own game ...by playing it better once head office is notified about your complaint (your copy that you made and posted to them)they must act even if your manager rips the copy you gave her up ...go for it

I'm sorry you're having a tough time at work. I just put in my two weeks notice today. I don't have another job lined up yet, but things had just gotten beyond a point that couldn't take anymore. I worked for a small company, so there was no one to complain to when most of my complaints were about the owners.

If you feel that way about her, I'd say take someone impartial with you - maybe someone who is not employed by her? You might need an impartial view of the conversation. If you were from the UK, I'd say take a union rep. Otherwise, if it is not something private, try raising it in a meeting with some other staff. Witnesses are a good thing.

Put your problems and complaints in writing. Go to you HR and/or Union Rep. Make sure everybody get copy and try to set up a meeting to help resolve the problem or complants that you may have. I do not suggest a direct confrontation if you know your manger do not like you. I hope this help.

Call a meeting with your supervisor and their supervisor or someone from HR. You will want to have a 3rd person with authority in the meeting. Layout the issues you are having. Listen to what they say in response. Sometimes things are perceived differently by both parties.
