You've probably had one. Maybe you even have one right now. And if Glassdoor data is anything to go by, you're far from aloneâmentions of "toxic boss" in workplace reviews have surged 6.7x since 2018. đ€Ż |
This week, Amanda Goetz sits down with Mita Mallickâbestselling author, workplace culture expert, and self-described recovering people pleaserâto talk about the bad bosses we've all worked for, the ones we've quietly become, and how to tell the difference. |
Mita's new book, The Devil Emails at Midnight, breaks down 13 archetypes of bad bosses (yes, they all have nicknames), and this conversation goes deep on the ones you'll recognize immediatelyâand the ones that are dangerously easy to miss. |
They get into why bad bosses are made, not born; what the midnight email really signals about a leader's psychology; and why toxic positivity might actually be the sneakiest trap for high-achieving women. |
Over 70% of workers say they've quit a job because of a bad boss. This episode is for everyone who hasâand everyone who's still figuring out whether they should. |
Key Takeaways |
