Episode Notes
Despite companies spending $15 billion annually on managerial and leadership development, bad bosses remain prevalent in the workforce. Staying in a bad work situation with a toxic boss may seem more secure than leaving, it comes with many risks. A study of 3,122 employees found that those who work for toxic bosses were 60% more likely to suffer a heart attack, stroke, or other life-threatening cardiac condition. Other studies in American workplaces show that people with toxic bosses are more susceptible to chronic stress, depression, and anxiety, all of which increase the risk of a lowered immune system, colds, strokes, and even heart attacks. In many instances, the results show that it may take up to 22 months to recover physically and emotionally from a toxic boss. While the idea of quitting may be intimidating, staying in a job with a toxic boss can be even more frightening.
Rich and Maikel discuss the issues surrounding quitting bad bosses in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
