I Would Turn Down a $100K+ Annual Job If My Boss Had 3 of These 14 Stupid Behaviors
Here is a bizarre story that happened to me
Most people don’t notice stupid bosses.
When I worked for a fishing company, my boss photographed me sleeping. It was my time off and I was literally tired. I had already been picketed.
He took the pictures and distributed them to all my co-workers. I was a little angry.
It is easier to find an idiot boss than to win at the play and win.
$0 in your pocket and peace of mind is better than receiving $100K annually from an idiot boss.
Corporate psychopaths are dangerous. This includes, above all, inner coldness, lack of scruples, and the ability for targeted manipulation.
Not only can they manipulate employees, intimidate them, or even get them to resign, but they also destroy the work environment.
Worst of all: you are just doing your own job. Working to put food on your family’s table.
They are not interested in their employees, colleagues, or the company. The focus is only on their own success and gaining power. An idiot boss becomes more dangerous the more power he gains.
No success, no wealth, and no power are enough for him. They would rather let the company go bankrupt than give up their leadership position.
Furthermore, he knows no fear when it comes to corporate decisions. He crosses borders and destroys himself and his entire environment.
Because a psychopath knows no middle ground.
Most don’t notice the idiot bosses
They are everywhere.
It is not easy to detect a psychopathic boss. Because you just want to do your job and not meddle in anyone’s life.
When it comes to psychopaths, only one thing helps: keep your eyes open and watch carefully:
Doesn’t care about anyone
Makes threats
Doesn’t assume his mistakes and passes them on to others
Lacking empathy
Arrogant
Uses reverse psychology in excess
Is attentive to every step that each person takes in the corporation
Aggressive
Having fun while others are going through a bad time
Controller
Forces others to work at any cost
Wants to do the work his way only
Does not give deadlines that make it easier for others
Stresses when breakfast is late
Many psychopaths hide their true intentions in the beginning. You can only notice psychopaths as they gain more power in the corporation.
So as a psychopath rises in the hierarchy, the more he begins to abuse his power and the easier it is to detect him.
If you have an idiot boss, do exactly this
Those at the lower levels of the hierarchy feel the side effects of a dumb boss. You can protect yourself from a psychopathic boss or defend yourself against him with the right behavior:
Avoid looking him in the face
Send an email instead of talking in person
Don’t take it personally, because it makes you vulnerable
Make it clear that you have other job options
Don’t try to change the psychopath, it is simply impossible!
Find other victims and act as a team
Document the psychopath’s behaviors and collect evidence!
In case of criminal offenses, take legal action
Changing a psychopath is virtually impossible. Don’t waste energy on this attempt.
If you are dealing with an idiot boss, there is only one thing you can do: protect yourself as best you can.
If none of that works, sometimes changing jobs is the only option. Otherwise, there will only be losers in the end.
