well today one of my bosses went all crazy on me about something so trivial...i couldnt believe it, i thought he was joking and started laughing(which i laugh a lot at work) and he looked ****** and yelled to get into his office while he ran off, and starting digging into me about something I DIDNT do wrong, i couldnt believe it i didnt understand, it felt like he wanted a reason(ANY reason) to tear into me. I argued back and spoke my mind, i basicially can handle being told im wrong if im wrong, but I WASNT and he was way off base, and i do my job very well, even the other employees said wtf? he yelled at you for that? I dont know what his deal was, hes an aquarius man in his late 40s-early 50s...i couldnt help but cry, i was sobbing, i felt really emotional and it hurt a lot coz i always feel like im working my a@@ off and he says all this BS to me...i told him you cant be cold to me, i dont respond to people who are cold, i respond to warm and nice people...he said granted, etc etc then he went on and on about who knows what...he picked a fight out of thin air....
he later said sorry about making me upset(crying),...i said okay... my other coworker said good for you, she said nobody ever tells him that or talks to him that way, and he never says sorry to anybody, she said maybe i got thru to him... i dont know, what do u guys think? the whole thing has made me cry perioditically throughout the day,,, IP: Logged |

Aquas are rude to feelings of others!!!  And being the premier (by default and choice I suppose) studier of Aquas.... again...  Hmmmm...in his late 40's or early 50's??? With Uranus having left Aqua just a couple of years ago and now transiting Pisces...maybe that has something to do with it....He may be suffering from his Uranus oppo as well (mid life crisis???) But that would have been a few years back... Surely tUranus sat upon his sun a few years ago...gave him some food for thought...and IF he has any Pisces in him maybe he is having to live up to his decisions made those years ago....as tUranus (theoretically) possibly is transiting something of his in Pisces and making a semi sextile to his sun... All theory, ofcourse.... But I would just bet on it!!!!!!!! But they can be VERY insensitive to the feelings of others...or really they just show it like that....it hurts them too much to get into the emotional realm.... IP: Logged |

again I will state.....Aquas, especially male Aquas are SO insensitive to the feelings of others....cause they can not deal with emotions..... O, and with the full moon in Pisces coming up and Saturn entering Virgo....I would probably bet he has some fish in him.... IP: Logged |

Awwwwwww. What a git - I hope he's feeling ashamed.  Aqua's can be really oblivious to others feelings sometimes. If he made you that upset I bet he feels bad now though - Aquarian's are kindly folk really! IP: Logged |

I love Aquarian females but the men are a whole other story. All of my encounters with men with strong Aquarian charts have all been insensitive pricks. I am sorry your boss made you feel that way but I wouldn't let some guy whose life is halfway over bother you. He's probably some poor little soul who is unhappy with life and lets his passive-aggressive anger out on people he knows can't do anything to stop him. Just curious but how old are you?IP: Logged |

I had a pisces boss, she was amazing. Everybody respects her very much because she is a great listener and cares about others. I had an aqua boss who I hated. IP: Logged |

Aww...I'm sorry you had to go through that. Aquarians can be really emotionally-detached. However, I did have an Aquarian boyfriend who was surprisingly emotional; I was the insensitive prick..lol.

I dated an Aquarian who told me he loved me and then would say he loved me like he loved his sister, his mom...he'd get all intense and then act like he didn't care at all. I guess I never really felt I knew what kind of love he had for me and in the end was probably scared off by my possessive Scorpio love.Sorry for the bad boss day. This doesn't excuse his actions, but I think things are intensified b/c of that full moon IP: Logged |

What a lousy day. I'm sorry to hear you have such a dumb@ss for a boss. I think your response to him was wonderful, telling him that you don't respond well to his type of behavior. It's his job, as someone in a management position, to be able to communicate effectively with all his employees. By saying that, you might have made him see his own failings as a boss, which would've made him feel like a hypocrite for being so harsh over a mistake he thought you made. It's hard to be angry at someone else for imperfection when you're being imperfect yourself. Perhaps he didn't have those types of thoughts, but the fact that he later said he was sorry tells me that he realised he peformed poorly as a boss. Is he normally a sh*t? Most of the time, the way someone treats others has very little to do with the other person. Maybe he's just a jerk overall or maybe he's going through a rough time & is handling it in a very immature way. Whatever the reason for his behavior, try not to take it to heart. You & your co-workers and probably your other superiors know what you're worth & how you deserve to be treated, even if this one dummy doesn't. IP: Logged |

Ok... so as an aquarian... I kind of get him, because I've done the same kind of things before... Uhm. I might be totally wrong here, but I don't think there would be anything today that could have made him yell at you. But you may have either hurt him in some way or really ****** him off over time. It may not even have been your fault at all, I wouldn't exactly call aquarians rational. You may not even know you've hurt him if that be the case, but if he has been carrying thoughts of anger or hurt for you for some time and then was in a really bad mood today- then you laughing at him may very well have triggered an angry explotion. I get those myself sometimes, especially if someone has hurt me. It might even be totally innocent, but because I don't show off my emotions easily - people don't really know just how sensitive and... uhm... exaggerateing I can be... If you laughed at him he may have felt like you didn't respect him, which may have led to him trying to attack you in any way he could - even telling you you're someone you're not just because he knows you'd be hurt not wanting to be that person. If he is like me, he could very well try anything, true or not. Well... That was my view of the situation anyway... Those traits (really bad traits) are mine though, they may or may not be his. I don't know, maybe it's due to my leo asc and not my aqua sun. I don't know. He'll probably never tell you the whole truth anyway. Sooo... Well, on behalf of knowing I've acted like that myself in the past... I'm sorry. Hope you're feeling better now=) IP: Logged |

It probably had NOTHING to do with you or the way you do your job. I'm an aqua, I can admit that I rage out out on the most innocent victims when I'm upset. Even if I am upset internally about something completely different, the *smallest thing* can set me off. Seriously, someone chewing their food too loud can make me want to scream! Clearly, it's irrational, but if someone had the audacity to LAUGH at me when I was in my "rage" mode, I'd probably go nuts. It's a good sign that he apologized, though. I never apologize. I'll calmly explain myself, but I normally don't truly apologize. ------------------ *Christina* Aquarius SUN Gemini MOON Aries ASC IP: Logged |

Would it be bias of me to say that I have found Leo bosses to be totally cool? Lol! (Haven't have a chance to be under a Libra boss; But... So far my grunts errr... employees haven't turned on me yet Lol!)

Communication on a management level is a two way thing. As you said it yourself it may have been a misinterpertation of statements on the employee's part or the information that was handed to the head honco by say... the team leader had been totally been written in a very biased way. There are just sooo many factors.

I dunno i feel Libra and Leo bosses would be awesome. My Aquarius supervisor is sooo cool all the time but she has these random moments of total bitchiness out of no where. I had the same thing where i got yelled at for the most trivial thing and she made me cry. I was just like WHWHHHERE is this coming from. IP: Logged |

As an Aqua, I would agree that the laughing bit most culpably provoked him further. You were probably pretty innocent and oblivious to all his angst, unable to conceive him in such a rage, but whenever I feel like someone laughs at me (not intentionally in your case, I know) it makes me feel like they're not taking me seriously and acting like I'm a joke. But I hate having heated arguments and screaming rages. They make me feel so incredibly stupid and tyrannical. I try to avoid losing my cool as much as possible. The apology was therefore a sure sign of compunction; I'm sure he feels badly enough for making you cry. IP: Logged |

what sign are you? The fact that you took his (aquarian) outburst so personal is something you can control.. Looking forward to your reply. Namaste, MarianneIP: Logged |
