Toxic managers workplace: Many toxic managers in the workplace are not aware that they are toxic. This is because bosses don’t look at themselves as toxic but instead believe that what they’re doing is right and just. They might be well-intentioned, but their actions can lead to negative outcomes for employees who work under them.
- Toxic managers often make people feel like they are not good enough, which leads to them feeling unappreciated and undervalued
- Toxic management creates an environment where employees feel like they need to walk on eggshells around their manager to keep from being reprimanded or berated for any mistakes that happen
- Employees who work for toxic managers tend to have lower morale because it is much harder when you don’t enjoy going into work each day.
A toxic boss will often have traits such as micromanaging staff members, being overbearing with deadlines and expectations, and creating an environment where people feel they always need to defend themselves against criticism or conflict.
