The After Call

BAD BOSSES!


Listen Later

Ah yes, the Bad Boss. A tale as old as time.

Whether you had a bad boss that ruled by fear, thrived on chaos, or somehow made or makes everything your fault while taking all the credit, you're in good company. This episode gets into the delightfully dysfunctional world of toxic leadership, backed by real research and even realer horror stories from survivors just like you (and us).

Here's what's waiting for you:

  • The six flavors of terrible bosses, from the micromanager who cc's themselves on your lunch order to the gaslighter who makes you question your own sanity
  • Battle-tested tactics like paper trails and boundary-setting that'll make even the worst boss think twice
  • A cheat sheet for spotting manipulation before it makes you cry in the parking lot
  • How to plan your great escape, (or exit strategy) because sometimes the best move is a graceful exit (with references intact)
  • The plot twist: understanding toxic bosses might just stop you from becoming one someday

If you're done feeling like you're losing your mind at work, this episode hands you the receipts, literally and figuratively. You'll finally be able to name what's happening, protect your sanity, and make your next move with confidence.

Because here's the thing: it's not you. It really isn't. And we've got the data to prove it.

Perfect for anyone surviving office politics, currently stress-eating at their desk, or just trying to make it to Friday, hit play and take back your career.
