How to Argue with Your Boss
1. Before you argue with your boss, cheek with the boss's secretary to determine his mood. If he has nails for breakfast(早饭吃了钉子，比喻情绪很遭), it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss's secretary, there are keys to timing: ;don't approach the boss when he's on deadline；don't go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed：don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2. If you're mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then, maybe he will dismiss you.
3. Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4. Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can't put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretaty.
5. To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.

怎样与老板争论
在你与老板争论之前，先去老板秘书那里打听一下老板的情绪。如果他情绪很糟，去找他提要求可不是明智之举。即使没有老板秘书，在时间的选择上也是有窍门的：别在老板赶进度，快到底线时去找他；别在午饭前找他，因为这时他最容易走神，匆忙行事；别赶在度假前或度假刚回来时去找他。
如果你快疯了，这只会使你的老板也气疯。先平静一下。别让某件特别的事情给你的怨气打开闸门。老板会认为你对公司的态度是否定的，而且不能改变。然后，他可能要开除你。
当雇主和雇员双方都不明白对方要说什么时，会发生可怕的争执。有时当问题弄清时，矛盾也就消除了，雇员必须清楚地传达他的观点，让老板明白。
即使你不给老板添麻烦，他要考虑的事就已经够多的了。如果你无法直接提出解决方案，至少要表明怎样对待此问题。那些经常给老板提问题，而不提解决方案的人会发现他们连秘书那一关也过不了。
要想和一个老板相处融洽,多考虑他的目标和压力非常重要。如果你能把自己摆在老板的合伙人的位置上，他自然会愿意与你合作，达到你的目的。
