We’ve all had them. Bad bosses. From the infuriating to the bad habits to the downright dangerous.

Whether it’s your first job and not knowing how you should react to something that seems off, or you’re in a senior role and someone is trying to move you out, dealing with a bad boss is tricky.

In this episode, we swap stories about some experiences with bad bosses and also look at the very real impact they can have on engagement and productivity.

You’ll learn:

• What impact bad bosses can have on the organisation
• What might cause them to become bad bosses
• Some crazy examples of bad bosses the Perkins family has worked for
• What to do when it’s seriously impacting you or you feel unsafe
• How you can deal with it day-to-day while you figure out what next

While some of these examples are funny to look back on now, when you’re working for a bad boss it can feel miserable.
