I had a bossy boss before and I just rode on her attitude and just hoped that someday, she will be petitioned and removed. Ad my hope was heard when she was fired by the company hehe. happy me after.

I simply ignore him/her and focus on doing the job given to me by my supervisor. If the bossy co-worker gets ignored by all of his/her colleagues, s(he) cannot be bossy anyway.

If the situation is looking more like you are being bullied, then it would be best to report the issue a superior or your manager. If this is simply the person's character, then it would be to try and study this person to know how to work with them.

I think I'm this care you might just need to match their energies you also act bossy too to them, so that you show the person you can be bossy

The person should just stay calm when it feels like there is nobody he or she can report his boss to

I have seen a situation where a mere coworker want to continuously boss others. They just dish out orders and expect them to be carried out. How can this be handled?
I believe that the best way to work with this kind of person is to make sure that you will do everything that I've been assigned to you and you will not have any problem with them.

Even if you are ranked higher than me in the workplace, that is not enough reason to boss me around. That kind of person would soon start having quarrels with co workers.

I would also boss such a colleague and if he complains, I would tell him how I feel when he bosses me around. If he doesn't change, I would report to the superiors and ask for a transfer to another department.

This is another set of people I desist to meet let alone working with them. I would not be able to breathe so I will rather move away from them

These types of people causes problem during job, because they want to get attention whether they work better or not and the main problem is we cannot totally avoid them.

I act bossy too to them, so I could get even with the one who acts bossy. ;)
I also do the same thing. I am quite vocal when seeing someone acting liking it. It is unacceptable and he or she needs a big lesson for doing so. I had so many colleagues like this before and handled so well at that time.

If it becomes too much, I would just let him or her know that he or she is not paying me salary. With that, I would seek for a redeployment if that person is in the same department with me.

Thats a tough situation I wonder why this coworker feels the need to boss others around. Maybe they have some insecurity or lack of confidence.
