You'll relate to the 5th sign
1. They confuse fear with respect. You shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells. Respect is earned, not demanded.
2. They take credit, but never blame. Wins? Theirs. Mistakes? Yours.
3. They micromanage everything. Control isn’t leadership. Trust builds better teams.
4. They make work unpredictable. One day, praise. The next, punishment. Your nervous system shouldn’t dread Slack notifications.
5. They drain, instead of develop. A great boss challenges you to grow. A toxic one just exhausts you.
6. They don’t value boundaries. Rest is seen as weakness. Your time belongs to them.
7. They create competition, not collaboration. Teamwork should build, not divide. No one wins in a workplace battlefield.
A good boss supports you. - A toxic boss slowly destroys you.
