Life at the Osburn Hideaway
“Many people have asked me what to do about their toxic bosses. You should know that while 50% of people seem like jerks, only 10% actually are. The remaining 40% are just insecure. They have personal issues and feel unsafe. They tweak people because they expect negative reactions and results. Try to give your difficult boss a feeling of immense safety by refusing to react and being rational in the face of irrationality. Do not feed into the frenzy and be very respectful. If your boss continues to act badly and is evil or it’s just not worth the effort, honor yourself and hopefully you’ve applied my principles so you have another boat to step into.”
“One of the most important factors in determining an employees’ satisfaction is the relationship with their immediate supervisor. According to Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman in First, Break All the Rules, your supervisor “defines and pervades your work environment. If she sets clear expectations, knows you, trusts you and invests in you, then you can forgive the company its lack of profit-sharing program. But if your relationship with your manager is fractured, then no amount of in-chair massaging or company-sponsored dog walking will persuade you to stay and perform.”
