💥Ever Wonder Why Bullies Always Become Bosses?

In partnership with

Hey there, survivors of toxic bosses and the leadership training that never fixed them!

This week, we're tackling the workplace parasite that drains morale faster than your bank account drains paying for therapy to deal with them: toxic bosses.

Remember: “It’s not personal” is something bad managers say right after doing something very, very personal.

🧨 THE RANT - Your Boss Needs Therapy

You ever have a boss who confuses "leadership" with emotional pressure tactics?
The kind who schedules 1:1s just to ask if you're happy here, then weaponizes your answer later?

Or the one who "believes in transparency" - except when it comes to pay, promotions, them, or why six coworkers mysteriously vanished last month?

There's a special flavor of chaos that toxic bosses create:

• It smells like anxiety

• Sounds like Slack messages at 9:03 p.m.

• Feels like you're always two deep breaths from quitting on a Post-it.

And the worst part? The higher up they go, the more their dysfunction gets rebranded as a “management style” - with a fancy LinkedIn banner to match.

But sure. Let’s run another engagement survey.
Maybe the problem is us after all.
