I have a boss I don't like or respect.
This part can be miserable, depending upon the boss (some bosses stink but can successfully be managed or ignored, while a few of the real gems are completely impossible.)
So, in this situation the real question becomes: what steps can you take to change your boss? Sometimes that means a move within the company or to a new job. Other times it means just waiting it out and the boss moves on or there is a reorganization that separates you from the bad boss.
I've had a couple of pretty bad managers in my life (one guy who would screamed at people until they cried, used physical intimidation to scare the men, and sexually harassed the women; later a woman who was insecure, incompetent, and not very bright but very ambitious and regularly back-stabbed everyone including especially people in her own group.) But I've also had some wonderful managers who were really more mentors than anything else.
So, it's important to realize that you aren't really "stuck" putting up with a poor situation particularly if it's the boss you hate. With each of the above bad bosses, it took me about a year to find an even better position and move on. Just making the mental decision to move on, resolving that it will happen, and taking the weekly small steps in that direction makes it much easier to ignore the bad bosses or endure their idiocy when it is unavoidable. I had another not quite so horrible boss whom I just didn't like, so I mostly ignored him and happily did my job until he moved on. Either way just knowing that change will eventually come can be enough to lift one's spirits each day.
