The Anxious Achiever

Toxic Bosses, Mean Girls, and Trusting Yourself


Listen Later

You know the feeling when you know that something is off with a relationship at work, but feel like you can’t speak up? Many of us have felt this feeling but haven’t known how to describe it or work through it in a healthy way. Toxic bosses and coworkers are super common, and can send negative ripple effects throughout the organization, far beyond a one on one relationship. 


Benish Shah was a trusted colleague of mine and she wrote the column “Is it Toxic?” to help workers navigate tricky situations in their jobs. In this episode, we get her expertise on how to deal with toxic bosses and coworkers in helpful and strategic ways.


We lost Benish suddenly in December, but I’m honored to share some of the work that was so important to her and to help continue her impact.
