Dealing with a Toxic Boss?
1. Don’t take it personally. You are a person first and an employee second. If they start screaming or in some other way acting inappropriately, be polite but make a choice to not buy into it.
2. Don’t compromise your ethics. If you are asked to do something, you know is wrong, speak up, ask questions and politely decline.
3. Don’t seek revenge. Remember, success is the best revenge. Do not stoop to their level, as it will only make the problem worse.
4. Don’t play the victim. Victims lose control and get dumped on more. Choose to the have the personal power and toughness needed to succeed.
Are these things easier said than done? Of course, but it sure beats crawling into a hole and sucking your thumb!
