The undigested employer. Nothing he likes, he will never say a thumbs up, everyone blames him for everything.
And you see him every day at work! What to do?!
Let us first look at the characteristics of such a person. And think about whether you have noticed any of these characteristics in your employer or colleagues.
The characteristics of the indigestible employer.
It’s toxic.
You never feel good when he talks to you and you feel anxious in his presence.
He’s a hypocrite.
On the one hand he says that there is not enough money for new equipment at work and on the other hand he goes on holiday to the Maldives, claiming it as operating expenses.
He is not fair.
He will give a raise and promotion to his friend and not to the one who has the best performance at work.
He’s always looking out for his own interests.
He doesn’t care what other people think. Whoever is not with him is his enemy. He will only have you around if he sees some interest for himself.
The obstacles.
I would love to tell you that there is a magic solution to this problem, but unfortunately things are a bit complicated…
First, the employer is higher up in the hierarchy, he has a position of power and this limits your actions. There is the fear of being fired and you don’t want to spoil your psychology.
Secondly, it is difficult for a person to change , especially when he does not see the need to do so.
Because the truth is, the toxic man feels good about himself.
Thirdly, when you try to have a good relationship with him, it seems that everything goes worse. When he can’t get something from you, you are indifferent or obnoxious.
But there are a few ways to get a handle on the situation.
I’ll share them with you in part B.
Stay tuned for the sequel!
