Although this film is quite funny, it has some serious undertones that address the darker side of the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Bateman\u2019s character, Nick, hates his boss for not giving him a promotion after the eight years he\u2019s spent working for him. He thinks he\u2019s done everything he can to deserve an office of his own but his high expectations are blown away when his evil boss, Mr. Harken (Kevin Spacey), takes the senior position that was intended for him.<\/p>\n<p>Experiencing the same kind of trauma are two of Nick\u2019s friends, Dale and Kurt, who have similar attitudes about their bosses. Conflicted by what to do, the three guys meet each other at a bar to discuss their misfortunes.<\/p>\n<p>There they also meet an old friend of theirs, who recently quit his job and is in dire financial debt. That\u2019s when they realize it\u2019s better to be employed than not at all. However, they still start a revenge plot to get back at their bosses for making their lives miserable.<\/p>\n<p>According to the film, here are some invaluable lessons to be learned:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Never arrive late to work. Get there two hours early and stay there for two extra hours.<\/h3>\n<p>In reality, you should always try to arrive to work at least 10-20 minutes early and leave work 10-20 minutes after the 5 o\u2019clock mark to keep things organized.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t want to constantly hit the door at 5:01 pm because it makes you look uninterested in your role. Employers need to feel you have ownership in what you do.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Say goodbye to your love life. You only have yourself.<\/h3>\n<p>In theory, your work is your life and you spend most of your time at work. But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t get out more and spend time with your friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never good to be secluded from the rest of society so don\u2019t work too hard all the time \u2013 learn to manage your work\/life balance.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Drink a whole glass of scotch at 8:15 in the morning because your boss manipulated you.<\/h3>\n<p>If your boss has a habit of abusing their power &#8211; its not the kind of environment you want to thrive in. Try to keep up with your boss\u2019s expectations but if they keep controlling you until your about to crack, maybe it\u2019s time for you to find a new job.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Keep your job<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you hate your job today, don\u2019t let your frustration get the best of you. You may not have any other choice but to work at your current position, so be grateful that you have a job.<\/p>\n<p>Remember you still have to pay the bills! But if you are at this point already, it may be a good time to start building a job search strategy.<\/p>\n<p>If worse comes to worse, seek a therapist about your situation. Perhaps you can find other ways to deal with your work-related stress before it becomes worse.<\/p>\n<p>Although this film doesn\u2019t suggest you to actually \u201ckill\u201d your boss to succeed in the workplace, it teaches us about self-discipline and workplace strategy.<\/p>\n<p>So again I ask &#8211; would you expose your boss\u2019s wrongdoings if you were treated unfairly?<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2 col-lg-10 offset-lg-1 col-md-12 mb-3 mb-sm-0\">\n<h2 class=\"text-center\">\n     Get job search ready <b>fast<\/b><br \/>\n     <\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-center\">Open new career opportunities with our professional resume writing services.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n             <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resumetarget.com\/packages-and-prices.php\" class=\"btn btn-md\">Get started<br \/>\n             <span class=\"ic-arrow-right-white\"><\/span><br \/>\n             <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Is Your Boss Good, Bad or Ugly? requires strategic career positioning to maximize impact.
