Every company has dedicated employees. They perform their duties with commitment, are precise, meticulous and often go above and beyond. It is clear that the profession they perform is their passion, and nothing gives them as much satisfaction as a well-accomplished task. Unfortunately, bosses often do not use their potential, and the growing tension and frustration make them finally decide to resign. A common argument of employers is that nowadays people do not treat work as a priority and change places of employment like gloves. But the truth is that bosses are often to blame for resignations. Here are four signs you have a toxic boss.
He tells you about his life
The boss should be, above all, a mentor and maintain purely professional relationships with his employees. If during conversations he tells you about his private life, complains about failed relationships and gossips about others, he probably does not know how to set boundaries. If you work for someone like this, you may wake up feeling like they’re your friend, not your boss. Then every request for leave, a raise or negotiating terms will be a real ordeal for you.
Can’t clearly define your responsibilities
Each position should have specific tasks. It’s not a matter of whether you’re good at staying ahead of the curve or not, but that you get paid for performing specific duties. When your boss can’t tell you what you actually have to do during a job interview, and then often changes his mind and gives you tasks that aren’t included in your contract, it’s a bad sign.
He behaves strangely when you ask about development opportunities
Most employees want to develop and have the prospect of growth ahead of them. If, during a job interview, your future boss gets irritated when you ask about your possible career path in the company, it means that he or she doesn’t take you seriously. In future cooperation, it may turn out that you are just an ant who has to work for the company’s profits.
He acts like he’s always doing you a favor
Nobody should tell you that you are lucky because you work for a given company. The employee is for the employer, the employer is for the employee, and in everyday relationships both parties should keep this in mind. If your boss is happy with how you perform your duties, there should also be benefits for you.
