Don’t vent to coworkers: This is tried and true advice.

[ronsonleeroy__]

According to statistics, toxic boss never change after confromting them. Toxic boss will not admit they are toxic. They will just blame you for them acting that way.

[Fireguy]

Remember toxic bosses don't have friends, they have useful idiots. Don't be one....

[Chris-zesq]

At the end of the day, if a boss doesn’t like you, there won’t be much you can do to change them. It’s best just to get away from them.

[smartmarketing]

3 of my 7 bosses were so toxic that I literally developed a form of PTSD from years of the emotional abuse. It’s not worth it. Get out.

[seinfan]

Find a different job. Your career is going to be stunted with a bad manager.

[benrobinson]

I'd say follow all these steps to buy you time while looking for another job. There are lots of terrible bosses out there but also many that aren't terrible. Life is too short and you don't want your career and health to suffer.

[thebeesknees]

I always lived by this saying: "water off a ducks back".

If the boss makes it unbearable, find another job. Everyone is hiring and I guarantee they will pay you more.

[ForgottenKnight]

The first step in dealing with a bad boss is finding a new role inside or outside the company. Don't bend backwards and try to make the guy improve his attitude. He won't. Do your job properly and if he's an asshole, change companies and sayonara.

[SagaciousGoat]

I disagree. If you have a shitty boss, then you don't need your boss to have a different attitude. You need a different boss. And that applies to any other relationship.
It is really as simple as that, the very idea of you "fixing" other people is frankly megalomaniac and stupid.

[jefferyfowler]

Dealing with bad bosses is so degrading. A bad boss will always drag you down and abuse you. Get out.

[patricearruda]

He is absolutely right. Do not vent to your boss nor coworkers as they will use against you. He is also right as do not trust folks in the office. They all have an agenda.

[evilrslade]

You have to walk. There is no "dealing" with Bad bosses. Find something else. Then tell whoever is the person with the highest authority in the company that you have access to why you left. It's not your job to fix some empathy free sociopathic shit who treats people poorly.

[Hannah-zwow]

My last boss was awful. Patronizing, disrespectful, she overworked me like CRAZY (the first two weeks of this year I literally didn’t get a break. Not evenings, not weekends. I was being worked that hard), she was big on “self care” so would often show up hours late or not at all, would leave for lunch, and would leave early, but I was never allowed to do anything even like that. Anyway, she ended up firing me because I hung up on her while she was yelling at me for something that was her own fault. I have a better job now.

[human]

Bosses are just one rung up on the ladder. He/she is still a working person. It’s sad that working people purposely screw over other working people.

[ahlsrobe]

Sadly, this topic is another hard lesson that is learned after the fact. The part about venting to a coworker about how your boss is treating you is really important. You just have to filter everything you say to coworkers because they don't have your best interests even if you consider them a friend. Things will always get back to your boss.

[robertcarson]

I really like the message of this channel and the whole “free agent” concept. Its a great way to look at it!

[randyeller]

Time to go. Dealing with a narcissist that has kept me at part time over the last 9 years while he promoted people off the street. Routinely tries to gaslight us with the old, “ Bigwigs are coming, Bigwigs are coming! Everyone panic!” Schtick to prove he can work us to death anytime he wants without intervention from his superiors. We’re already losing key people about one a week including some people that have been there 20+ years. Time to pull the ejection handle and bail out.

[TheDpbundy]

the 2 types of managers I cannot stand, the micro/macro manager and the passive aggressive manager.

[Dearest_Kenyetta]

I've had to learn to do this with my current boss.... She is very reactive and tends to supervise with a spirit of intimidation and control. I have learned to keep my verbal interactions minimum and professional. I exhaust all other options before going to her. I do my work and stay consistent. I communicate through email 99% of the time. I have had to learn that her actions are a reflection of of her and not me. I become confident about my job along with remaining humble to learn more.... This way she can't lessen my value... Because I know my value. Most of PRAYER is a must. Mostly for myself.
