This was right on time! I have had all 5 types, and it makes for a very difficult situation when you just want to get your work done. I am currently dealing with one who lacks transparency with the team, and has a tendency to not follow through in promises/deadlines (a pet peeve of mine).
Problem is many bosses are bosses, because they know people who get them a job there. Many don’t have the true leadership skills nor people skills to be an effective boss. I think bosses make it toxic, to force you out of the company
Ever since I turned my team into top performers I've been targeted by my bosses. I stopped the turnover, doubled the sales, and increased morale. They come in on my day off and try to get the "real story" from my team and say not so nice things. Just because I'm not a toxic AF boss...
You've triggering their insecurities. Your talent as a leader is making them feel incompetent, so they are trying to rationalize their lack of demonstrated ability (if they did what you did, they could achieve the same thing).
Same they do not like when you are a better manager then they could be. You win the team over because people gravitate to your coaching/management style.
My boss is so unpredictable. Can never tell what mood he’s in. Mine is clueless to what everyone does. And just got thrown into it. He used to have a desktop screensaver that said “I run a tight shipwreck” talk about negative. He’s in and out of the office in minutes and doesn’t check in with anyone. People are terrified to email or text him. I send him an email and never any response. My boss doesn’t give me an opportunities that I deserve but instead has favorites. If you sit next to him he talks to you. I don’t so he doesn’t even acknowledge me. Also he changes things 24/7…. Doesn’t know what anyone does or give support.
I work at a very small company where the owner of the company is a ghost boss. I have zero guidance on what I should be doing, zero support. They don't even know that they are understaffed - even when I tell them that they are very understaffed because they have no idea what their employees even do, what's going on at the company, or even what roles should exist in the company. It's given me a ton a freedom, but I'm massively overworked and am not doing the type of work I would like to be doing. I'm a software developer, but I'm doing the work of admin/support staff just because that's the work that needs to be done, and they have refused to hire anyone for years. I'm looking for another job right now, and probably won't be there much longer. It's a sad situation because I really like them on a personal level, but their poor management is holding me back in my career. I'm not learning new things and barely even doing programming type of work anymore. I've tried to fix this situation for awhile, but they are just clueless.
I have The Ghost Boss. Everyone tells me it must a dream working like this but it’s not. I deal with everything and get nothing in return, no advice, no positive feedback. My boss doesn’t respond to emails or phone calls and I’m relatively new. Training was awful and I’m alone almost all day just on my own. It’s like owning the business which obviously I’m not interested in since I can certainly open my own business at this rate and make my bosse’s salary. It’s been hard. My boss also thinks I’m “argumentative” when I disagree with them :(
5 Ways To Talk About Your Horrible Boss In A Job Interview Be Honest (Within Reason) When asked about a bad employer, you should be honest, but not go overboard. Avoid Giving Unnecessary Information. Turn the Negative Into a Positive. Remember What You Enjoyed. Say What You're Looking for Instead.
I’ve had a ghost boss, and even though it’s nice to have someone breathing down your neck and not letting you get on with your work all the time, it’s not nice to now get any guidance or feedback.
Narcissistic bosses are permanently broken, unfortunately. See the thing is, I'm not paid enough to manage my bosses' shit personality. I'm not your therapist, Linda
Mine is a combination of all of these! Although only occasionally ghosts me and is quite low level toxic. Quite a minefield to be dealing with a clueless, insecure, micromanager who trips you up and only cares about themselves! I often find myself analysing their actions and wondering which trait to attribute it to as there are so many different behaviours every day!
Yes me too I am tired of them Giving me stupid tedious tasks or blaming all the mistakes on me even if my mistake is not there Hell even the team is highly toxic. I don't want to leave my job but that b**** is too much to handle
If they lack in the skills necessary to be a good manager it’s their responsibility to learn and be better at their job. They need the willingness to change and grow with professional development.
My most recent boss was the one that always said I told you that yeah I told you that. Maybe there was a few times she may have told me that but she never ever admitted that maybe she didn’t tell me that. Those are the worst kind she may have thought she told me something maybe she thought it in her head but she didn’t speak it. And I admitted a few times that she may have told me and I forgot. But she never admitted that maybe she didn’t tell me. Worst boss ever!!!!
The biggest jerk was my favorite boss. He taught me so much. But he was a jerk for a reason, he saw I was smart and could be better. The biggest cylindrical donkey was a small person which is funny because he's a fat guy
Which bad boss have you dealt with?
I dealt with all 5 types of bad bosses. Some bosses had a couple of those traits.
Toxic narcissist
Pretty much all of them. My favorite boss is the Dodo boss, because they are relatively easy to intimidate.
They need to include this video in the managers training at all organisations.
I agree and will happily license it to any organization who wants to incorporate it into their training!
Bad bosses may be just unskilled or untrained, but toxic bosses can't be fixed.
I don't get that someone with such high quality videos has a relatively small number of followers. You do a great job!

I have the same pet peeve!
Missing deadlines really frustrates me
Life is not easy to work for the bad boss .

That lack of clarity boss though!!! Changing the game plan every other month it seems!!
I'm dealing with multiple bosses who can be all of the above.
