How to work for a tyrant
Perform as a model employee.
By not slipping up and continuing to perform your job duties as perfectly as you can, you leave the tyrant as little room as possible to complain about your work. Be punctual, work accurately, don't call in sick, double-check your work and strive for the company's overall good.
Try to anticipate your supervisor's needs and comply with all requests. Also give your boss positive reinforcement when they demonstrate successful communication and management.
