Whatever my boss said I will do it no questions but when he scolds me what I'm not guilty of I will fight.

No toxic environment is worth your well being. Screw staying there and living with it. Find another job, sooner or later HR will figure him/her out why there is such a turn over rate. Professor in college told me (the whole class) "You can get paid $50 dollars an hour but if your boss is an asshole, you wont stay long." no truer words have been spoken. Peace out

I have one rule, don't expose yourself to any toxic person. Just imagine having a boss that no matter what you do it isn't right. I had to put a boss in his place because he didn't know what he wanted as his mind constantly was changing and nothing I could do was right no matter what T I followed. Everyone on the team felt equally frustrated. After a year of dealing with this toxic asshole and on my final day when I gave my resignation as I had a job lined up I asked him, "Do you think support, encouragement and gratitude are important attributes for a successful managers should have?" I then handed him my resignation and walked out. A month later another key person on his team left as well. My current boss now is a great guy to work with and my job is once again enjoyable.

A bad boss doesnt just stop being a bad boss because you are nice to them, or talk to them or work hard. A bad boss is at their core an unhappy person. And like a drowning person they will drag you down with them if you try to help. The only thing you can do is save yourself and let them sink.

I don't exactly know what you been through. But I had an experience before. Being a newbie, I made lot of mistakes in my reports. That was very frustrating. Working in a bank, you need to assure everything is correct up to the last cents. I'm not to blame because being new to the report means you need help from your boss on how to do everything. But my boss is a type who give less instructions. It was like, "how can I do this.job right with little instruction" and your limiting conversation with them because you feel toxic with them... Your job will literally be easy with proper guidance. You ended up being blame for all the mistakes. This days were challenging. Yeah, it leave me some kind of trauma and a lesson to be equipped with knowledge. These will always remind me, "This is hard but I have to adopt, get all necessary skills to make myself better on my work". I'm here also to remind all young professionals.

Stay aligned with your vision and goals - who are you and what do you want. 5. Put yourself in their shoes - It's not about you it's about them. [My own insert here - change how your boss perceives your personality by focusing on them.] 6.

People quit their jobs not because of the company, it is only because of the difficult boss they have to deal with it everyday. In fact, "dealing" with a difficult boss everyday is not good for your mental health...you bring home everyday on the kind of things you had to deal with at work. So, my advise is try to be happy...find another way. You cant control to change the boss, but you can control what you can do. You dont have to deal with the difficult boss everyday. Find another job and quit!! Belive me, just the action of quitting itself will bring happiness to you!!

I have been documenting things for several months after I started noticing my paycheck was unusual. On top of him being incredibly passive aggressive and a complete narcissist, I have discovered my paychecks have not been adding up right for quite some time. Long story short I'm going to end up calling the Better Business Bureau or possibly going to the Workforce Development Center and Reporting him.

My supervisor has a "fix it yourself" attitude--if I ask her any questions, she's very curt and won't give much information. I've caught her lying to me about things in the past because she didn't want to directly come out and tell me she had an issue with the way I did something. Then, when the workflow does mess up, she always takes her angst out on me. I see her laughing and carrying on with other employees, but the moment I step in her direction, she's bone silent.

I agree with you 90% bosses can be abusive and belittling. They can be passive aggressive and stay in lines of respect. That’s when you are really screwed. “ messing with you just enough to drive you crazy and still be in the right. That’s a no no

These are very good tips. I suffered a lot and in temporary depression under a micro-managing boss who thinks he is always right. I also thought about quitting.. but I really looked inwards and go back to my WHY to keep me going.

Personal reflection and reconnection to one's self is key to getting through any difficult situation. Stay centered and you will observe what is going on vs being caught in the eye of the storm. Thank you so much for watching. ♥

Your tips are really helpful. Thank you very much.

I currently have a new boss/director who has such a strict attendance policy; I’m a student-trainee who lives 1.5 hours away from my work (financial reasons), and I am certain she is trying to get me fired. She recently threatened me with an ultimatum that if I’m late one more time, I get kicked from our medical program. It has been causing me so much stress that I can hardly focus on course work. Well today there was a massive snow-storm that took me 3 hours to get there due to her giving us false weather forecast information (I genuinely risked my life driving), and I think she might try to use it against me. She has 0 mercy or flexibility - truly a headache situation. I just want to graduate and leave :(

Hi Francesca. First I would like to thank you for watching and hope that this video was helpful to you. Unfortunately when dealing with a difficult boss, one of the best things you can do is document. Hopefully you never need to use it but if you do it will only help to resolve the situation a little easier if the time comes. Make sure to keep all email communications in a folder so you can access them readily. Also keeping a log of conversations, time, date and what was discussed is also a good idea. Wishing you all the best! Cheers.

If you're doing the best you can and show your boss respect, do not tolerate disrespect from your boss. I once had a female boss that did that and I basically turned into a landmine just waiting to be stepped on. One day she stepped on the landmine and I told her to go eff herself because it's obvious her husband isn't and I walked off. She was speechless. As I was walking away I shouted "You're doing great at shutting up for once, keep it up!"

I have gotten through the craziness of a boss with unrealistic expectations by reminding myself that I’m just selling my time there till time to go home. An when he try’s to degrade me for going home when it’s that time? I just smile as I continue to head to the clock.

This has been really helpful. You're right. I just have to focus on my job/work and stick to my values. And it helps a lot because we are currently working from home so I don't have to see him at all. My boss has been unsympathetic to many employees. For him, reasons are no different from excuses although they were urgent. He couldn't care less at all. So, I'm learning how not to care about what he says and just focus on my job. He's the kind of boss that is generous with criticisms but stingy when it comes to appreciation.
