Treatment Options - Because Your Boss Needs a Script

Option 1: The Olive Branch

When your boss is a drama-prone dictator, try using the classic olive branch approach. This involves pretending to agree with your superior's outlandish demands, while secretly working around them. It's like a game of "I'm a little tea pot, short and stout..."

• Phase one: Initial Compliance
• Phase two: Subtle Sabotage
• Phase three: Full-On Rebellion

Option 2: The Art of Passive-Aggressive Email

When your boss is a master of the subtle art of manipulation, try using the art of passive-aggressive email. This involves burying your true feelings deep within a seemingly innocuous message, while still conveying your disdain for the situation.

• Phase one: The Art of Suggestion
• Phase two: The Art of Indifference
• Phase three: The Art of Defiance

Option 3: The Strategy of Misdirection

When your boss is a master of red-herring, try using the strategy of misdirection. This involves creating a false narrative to distract your superior from the real issue at hand. It's like a game of "Who's on first?"

• Phase one: The Art of Distraction
• Phase two: The Art of Deception
• Phase three: The Art of Revelation

Or, you know, just be honest and tell your boss to take a hike.

Option 4: The Nuclear Option
