Deal with toxic boss
Many people did not resign because of their jobs.
But resigned because of "Chief."
Someone found the boss.
Mind Abuse Talking / Excessive Pressure / Emotional Use / Exploitation
And many times, "we" have to endure
Because it's not ready to go anywhere
So what you can do is
Learn how to live without losing yourself. 🌿
1. Separately, "This is not our fault."
Many people get blamed so often that they start to think they're not good enough.
But the truth is,
Chief toxic often behaves like this to many people.
So...
Don't take all the words to hurt yourself.
2. Communicate clearly but not clash
If thrown over the boundary
Try to speak politely but clearly, such as
"Now that we have an A job, if we take more jobs, we may have to postpone some jobs. I want you to prioritize it."
This method makes us "not take everything quietly."
But it doesn't look hard
3. Keep proof of your own work
Chief, some toxic.
Maybe throw guilt or don't give credit.
What many people started to do and it worked.
Job summary via chat / email
Keep evidence of who ordered what.
To protect yourself in the long run.
4. Set yourself a Boundary.
Such as
Do not answer job chat after job time (if not necessary)
Not taking an overload job without saying anything.
Many people are afraid of setting boundaries.
But it's actually "maintaining our health." 💛
5. Have a backup plan for life
The truth to admit is,
We may not change the boss.
But we "can choose our future."
Many people started
Upskill
Find a new job.
Plan to move the team.
Just know, "We have a choice."
The heart will not be too stuck in the same place.
Finally, May wants to say
Being patient doesn't mean we have to endure everything.
And protecting yourself is not wrong. 🌱
