How to Deal With a Toxic Boss and a Toxic Work Environment

How to Deal With a Toxic Boss and a Toxic Work Environment. Toxic managers can really set you back in your career and in your life in general. They are THE ORIGIN of a toxic work environment, the ones who install it and those who keep promoting it. Whether you’ve started a new job at a toxic workplace or you just had a new manager assigned, suddenly your day at work has turned into an absolute hell. All the good things about the job disappeared or just don’t make sense to you anymore. You are NOT alone, more than 80% of employees have quit their job due to their bosses, some employees already quit their jobs due to major health conditions.
Unless you have a huge willpower and self control, you will get more and more emotionally affected by a toxic work environment and this toxic situation with your boss, which will result into a damaged self-esteem, constant stress, anxiety and even depression. In this video I share 8 strategies to help you cope and deal with a toxic boss and a toxic work environment, to make your situation more bearable and tolerable, while you keep working on your exit strategy. Get ready to show a maximum of patience and stick with me till the end to find out what a “grey rock” method/strategy is, which has proven to be very effective while dealing with narcissists, abusers and bullies.
You know that abusers love drama, and they will try to create one whenever possible because it puts them in control. Grey Rock is an approach to become unresponsive, similar to a rock. Your goal using this method, is to retain your control over your reactions and stay out of the drama. Some other videos which will help you while dealing with a toxic work environment and anticipate their micromanagement.

Anyone who has worked for a toxic boss knows how they can impact all the aspects of your life! Your confidence, your self-esteem tend to go away. But not when you stop being afraid! Working in a constant state of fear is extremely damaging. Think of the worst which could happen to you at work? Getting fired! Which is nowhere as bad as turning into a walking zombie. Researcher who did studies on more than 3000 people, found out that employees who have managers with toxic traits are 60 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack or other life-threatening condition.
Be careful with whatever information you share with your coworkers because coworkers are not you friends. And what's important is for you to stop blaming yourself. No matter how toxic bosses make you feel, no matter what your boss says about you: “Incompetent”, “slow”, “not good enough”  -  you are NOT, their anger and toxicity are NOT your fault. There is nothing you can possibly do to be successful in this situation, except getting out of the toxic workplace. Think Karma! If you absorb the toxicity and transmit negativity yourself, you are likely to get even more negativity in return. Your boss will eventually get what is coming to them. Focus on yourself, on getting your work done the way you can and on getting out of there without looking back!

    Forget about the money. We get so caught up with the money issue, it is almost like we get Stokholm Syndrom and make excuses for horrid behavior. I stayed in that crap job because I was making $33.50 an hour....it wasn't worth it. I make way less than that (for now...raise is coming) and it is a joy to go to work. I got out and while I was waiting to become a flight attendant, I sold handmade chocolates, cakes, and pies from my home, baked specialty pie in a professional kitchen, and sold Tupperware. Do not wait till the Straw breaks the Camel's back like I did and it turns into a shouting/cussing match.....don't let anybody cuss you at work for that matter......YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

    Notes: 1. Deliver results, keep them informed, and document. 2. Don't sink to their level. It contradicts your values. 3. Stop being afraid but do not confront them. 4. Don't complain to coworkers about your boss. Your comments will get back to your manager. 5. Stop blaming yourself. It is not your fault. 6. Stop expecting them to change and giving them constructive feedback. 7. Learn to stop caring, no amount of effort will make them change. 8. Grey rock, become unresponsive, short, and factual. 9. Take charge of your career and well being.

    Gotta disagree with the "do not confront them" one... if you're being abused and harassed by your boss, start documenting what they're doing and file formal complaints with HR... forget that noise about quitting... quitting looks bad on your resume... I made that mistake and wish I had called out my boss who was harassing me (and the other black guy on the team btw). Once you've formally logged complaints, you're building evidence of workplace harassment which is ILLEGAL... start using phrases like "what you're doing is a crime" and see how things change.

    I work in a toxic environment. All my coworkers do is gossip and run back and tell the managers anything they feel they could use to earn cool points. My supervisor is the ringleader that puts them up to the challenge to be untrustworthy towards others. The job is very easy, but it’s management with all of their trickery that makes the job more difficult than what it has to be. It’s their ego’s and foolishness that makes the work atmosphere very toxic. Some people are just not cut out to be managers or supervisors. You treat your workers with respect and chances are you will get it right back.

    I kept my mouth shut for years, until my boss started gaslighting me. I only had to scratch the surface to find she was toxic to others as well, and that the supervisors who reported to her were also toxic. It became kind of a sport once we discovered each other, and yes, it did bite me in the *ss. It was validating, though. I really needed to know it wasn't just my perception. I'd never experienced a covert narcissist / covert bully before, so I had no idea what I was dealing with. A boss can be a bully without raising his/her voice!

Haven't found the right opportunity yet. Do you have specific guidance on how to best leave/quit the job? I am concerned of them giving a bad reference or trying to escalate the harrassment bullying when you send them them the notice of resignation. I understand it's a toxic no win situation with these covert narcs and to just leave, but I'm unsure how to best answer them when they bully you if they question why you are leaving/offer exit interview. I don't want to lower myself to their toxic level but I also would feel fake if I just say I'm leaving for an opportunity and not share at all how I've been treated. I don't even think it's worth it to report to HR because they are toxic manipulator and CEO right person unless I report it to corporate after I am gone.

    @@LeahIsHereNowI'm not sure where you are in your career. I've been in the workforce for going on 30 years and until this year had never experienced a truly toxic, narcissistic boss. I had experienced a&$hole bosses before, but they were blatant and obvious, and because I was young and hungry, I had no problem simply moving on to the next, higher paying thing. Heck, one time when I finished a contract, I walked out with 3 of my a$$hole manager's employees in tow. He had been telling them they'd never be able to get employed anywhere else because they sucked at their jobs... it was just a tactic to keep them and at low rates. I spent my time letting them know they were good at what they did, and brought them with me when I left. They are all now high performers with great careers. But with this last job, it crept up on me and was much more stealth and narcissistic in nature. My company had a great culture when I arrived, but that has now flipped, so it was shocking. It was a blow to my ego when they started to force me out, and I'm no longer young and hungry and was hoping to stay at this place for the long term, so it's really hard! Count yourself lucky if you haven't experienced this yet, but don't think for a second it couldn't happen to you at some point, and be careful!

    My daughter is dealing with a toxic boss and environment right now. I shared this with her. It's beautiful how you explain it all so clearly because when you in the thick of it, it's so hard to focus on facts and not the injustice - the emotional side. Thank you for your gentle way of explaining that they are not to blame. People seem to find meek prey and feel they can abuse them. This was an excellent video.

    I complained today to my department manager about my line manager, and I feel awful about this. My line manager is so very subtle at putting people down, jeopardising our work, making us look incompetent, small and stupid by withholding vital information and documentation. She can be so sweet, and so invisibly vicious. I was listening to myself talking to my dep manager and I kept thinking: you are sounding ridiculous, this is the example you're going with? My manager was sceptical and defended my line manager. I wish I hadn't said anything. Dang it, why do we always have to learn things the hard way? 😔 At the same time, he supported me in my desire to move departments. He said he would rather I'd stayed but then he also said that if I really needed to leave he would facilitate this if I promised to help him transition a new person into my role. I know he will deliver on this promise, and I will help him out as much as I can. I just wish I never said anything about that horrible line manager to him. Thank you for helping me stay sane through all this, Marat.

    Quite a few of us in my industry, having worked at a few different companies, have come to the conclusion that the entire industry has a culture of promoting people to managers who are toxic because they “get things done” AND they’ll tow the line. It’s an industry cultural issue many of us either stay trapped in because we love the work…or are figuring out how to jump to a new career altogether.

Abusers look for your weaknesses and capitalize on them. If you try to be humble and “go under” them, you take the risk of that backfiring on you and incurring even more abuse. Finally! Advice that is actually empowering!! 💪🏻

    Seriously. I can't begin to name drop which government companies I've worked for as I also can't begin to name my PMs with their linkedin profiles for full display. But this video helped a lot. Early in my career I used to think I can solve and help toxic management be less toxic simply because I embrace a Servant-Leader Mentality thanks to my parents, my community, and how I was raised. However, after watching this video it looks like I can't assist them at all. In fact, it's funny because I remember one boss in particular when I was working for the Department of Homeland Security I recall not being able to login timely (while working remote) because of a city-wide power outage. When the power tripped? So did every electronic in my home such as my alarm clock, and my charging station. By the time I woke up it was an hour past my original start time. After charging my phone I noticed I had a voicemail. Guess who called? My boss expressing empathy which made me think "his toxic behavior" was caused by being overworked as I've never seen this side of him. Fast forward a month later? The toxicity continued. The end result? I got terminated for reasons outside of my control. Again, this video was very helpful.

    "don't sink to their behavior" very good advice... managers back each other up, then they will always make you look bad, hence, just ignore them, find a new place and at the end just slap them in the face with courtesy: especially when you are younger it's satisfying to tell them they are rotting there while you already got at their same level of experience... the notion of fear is real then for them hahaha.

I did not watch your video until now, but looking at your advises I can say that they work. I completely distanced myself from the toxic person in the team and focused on my performance and it worked. Actions speak louder than words and decency always prevails. My toxic boss actually wanted to get rid of me and feels like I am a threat. She used all the tactics you mentioned, but it did not work. I think the key here is to stay resilient, if it becomes unbearable, just go to another job. There is always a way.

My boss yelled/cussed at two of my co-workers about being “unprofessional” in a teams chat and made them both cry. Then they started micromanaging. Example they saw me and a coworker on a call on teams and told us to get back to work. I was actually helping them learn something, but they were immediately aggressive. They’re an ex-Marine and they seem to be really dead set about making this job like the military. Thank you for these tips, I know this is the right decision for me. Life is too short.

I had a shitty bullyboy manager once, he used to bicyle to work, sports bike, lycra, etc, i knew where he lived thru small talk , and the only road home was through a long country lane, with big hills.. When he cycled off i left a while later, overtook in my car, then out of view 1km away, i threw down carpet tacks on the cycle path. He couldnt understand why whenever it was bad weather, really hot, he always got punctures, or when he went to unlock his bicycle, the lock was jammed, or bolts were loose, or a buckled wheel, or chain snapped on the way home. Only small victories, but i did chuckle :-) that on top of other work-related "efforts" i did enjoy ot.
