My boss is a toxic nightmare

posted November 30th, 2018 at 10:38 PM

My boss is really hard to deal with and I’m not sure I can do it much longer. Apart from being super demanding they give instructions, then contradict themselves, go back on said instructions and blame me for getting it wrong. Sometimes I’ll come around the corner after just having had a frustrating scenario with my boss and they’ll be whispering to another colleague and the whispering will stop when I’m around. My workplace feels like high school. My boss talks shit about anyone whose back is turned and also makes faces right beside/around people when those same people are not looking in their direction. Other times they’re really funny & overly good to us. It feels like an abusive relationship and I am exhausted.

Such a special snowflake you are.

I’ve been in a similar situation and stayed because I was just starting a new career. It ruined my health and caused me to start smoking not smoking for years. I ended up not working since then due to my health. Leave before the toxic immaturity takes it toll on your mental anf physical health. Brush up your interview skills and fix up your resume, there are better work environments out there. Wishing you the best!

Put up some sneaky cameras.

You could end up with something incredible.

Just don't get caught.

I would fire you just due to your lack of writing ability. Why refer to a boss in the singular at the start of your posting and then switch to a plural pronoun? God awful and annoying writing.

In what kind of place do you work in which any of this drivel about which you write occurs? It must be very low-end work.

Instead of complaining, improve your qualifications (and writing ability) and then move on.

Your writing ability, as demonstrated in your comment, just gets more deplorable than your first effort, as shown in your posting. When writing, avoid being vague and try writing in complete sentences. Your writing style is annoying.

You will continue to be down-voted until you learn to write clearly and quit being a whiney bitch (that will hurt because you are narcissistic and care what others think).

Please end our pain. Go away, feel sorry for youself in private, and sulk.
