Robert is the only author who helps you avoid real pain in your life. Such a gift to us.

[@bekit7131]

The most bizarre thing about some bosses is that they’re the ones getting promotions & awards. I’ve known quite a few who were hated but managed to get recognition from the higher ups.

[@havital1]

So unbelievably true

[@Mrskraemer]

Explain that one Robert, 🙏 please

[@MrMarioSm]

@@Mrskraemermean bosses at least get shit done, thats why they get recognition ,

if you observe manipulative ,narcissistic person and 3 year old child its basicaly the same state of mind,many of mental disorders are just like that,people stay mentally at the age when they experienced trauma,they cant process their emotions,many bosses are like that because they want to compensate this with possessions and power over other people,its really great advice to see them as big kids and dont react to their moods

[@michaelzero5278]

You got it narcissist are scared insecure children.

[@semplybalanced3210]

Psycho bosses that can effect your mental well being, work performance, loss of finances, potential housing insecurity is like Stalin. They’re holding your life in their hands & this can cause panic & ptsd. This kind of workplace abuse is common & hard not to take personally when it’s literally effecting your entire personal life. Quitting is the way.

[@charlesnunno8377]

I've learned that with a LOT OF PAIN.

[@ghosthusler]

I quit and my boss stole my salary. So now he still gets his power trip

[@bunkbedblake3215]

Nah you just let him win that way. You have to give him zero reason to fire/demote you, challenge his ideas/ways he talks to you, then you earn his respect and piss him off.

[@anelembasa1550]

I just did mine because of these psychos

[@aluisious]

There's also organizing. There are more of us than there are of them, and they need us, otherwise being a boss is meaningless.

[@lindarosas8457]

Psychotic bosses are jealous of your unique traits, insecure because of their unfulfilled desires, become angry when a client and team member compliments your empathetic tendencies and good hearted nature, and do whatever necessary to turn others against you in order to justify letting you go.

[@passionfruitpassionfruit2034]

You said it so beautifully all my bosses have been bad over the years I decided to just become self employed sick of breaking down physically n emotionally

[@Greenplanet949]

Good advice. I had a wretched boss. She had me doing her work and then was getting kudos from management. I never let her upset me. She was used to terrorizing people. My co-worker went on meds, since she was so stressed out. This boss then engineered my getting laid off. Things didn’t go well for her after that and she was asked to leave. My old company asked me to go back. I passed since I had found a better job. Robert is correct in not letting bosses upset you. You give away your power.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had to deal with a narcissistic manager for the past 4 months and some unfriend colleagues. Done, I am out and I'm done with them. I would like to see the whole interview. Can you please share the link? Thank you in advance

Sometimes it is personal, even very personal, if the boss feels you disapprove of their methods.

[@havital1]

Exactly

[@ozscorpio7]

Yes , sometimes for whatever reason the boss does pick on one person usually when this person makes him feel insecure. How to deal with it

[@incorand6664]

@@ozscorpio7 Try to find another job or start your own business. Until you do, be very careful and pretend that you want to smooth things over.

[@cju5150]

Preach! If YOU are yelling at ME, that is prima facie personal. Don't make such lame excuses for their behavior(s) and for treating another human being like s***. Shut them down very quickly by setting clear, firm boundaries. Don't have to be an a-hole about it, but don't have to be a doormat either.

[@orls9068]

I agree and its so true, just difficult to deal with it in the moment

[@cuekumber3292]

Can say that again..

[@rabbychan]

I challenge my boss to some sort of contest everytime they start whining about something to see who works most efficiently, they always turn back and I don't hear from them again for a while because they know the result. Pretty good feeling. :)

“Replaying their old dramas with new actors. Twisted people with issues”- sound exactly like my narcissistic ex

[@Adam-ui3yn]

Given the way I grew up I consider my skilled in controlling my emotional outward reactivity. With what I say and how I say it. But at the end of the day you still need to address your bosses emotions because they skew their perception of you, and ultimately could mean the difference between being fired or not.

Great advice . Don’t be emotional. Never take it personally

[@anypercentdeathless]

To extend that idea about options: with whom in our lives do we have the least options, beyond that of the boss? Our family. (Not sure of the implications; just sayin'. And good channel. Thank you.)

[@darkskinwhite]

id say family is more limited than boss but in both of those situations those limitations are our own. you *could disown your family. you *could quit your job even w no planning. those are just risks or actions we dont want to take or fear or dont feel align with our morality

I am going to work completely stoic from now on. I am tired of wasting energy on interpersonal issues at work. I had a boss who one day had "the boss " hat on and the next wanted to be friendly and then controlling. I felt on edge, unstable, stomach problems, drained , jumpy, mental fogginess, struggling with my words, and when i stopped in person communication, she had an attitude with on the emails. It was awful. I am not playing this game. Work is not for friendship

[@PapayanPepper]

The example with Stalin is kind of terrible. Yeah, the guy has his trauma, he's acting out his shitty childhood, you can "cut him down" and pretend you're not intimidated... ...but he'll still kill you.

[@ariesostia126]

Bosses want their ass kissed. Kiss it, without SEEMING like you are, you win . Feeling like you're kissing ass, interrupt the boss during what they are doing, and say, "I know you're a Giants fan, how did you like the game?" Your telling them that 'you're asking about something in life." Not seeming like it;, randomly, even if it's planned make it seem like randomly you just so happens you have a Giants logo on your cup, or a Giants Jersey in your car, or a sticker on your car, ect. The phrase is, it just so happens. It just so happens that me and the boss agreed. It just so happens this is the best boss I ever had. It just so happens I'm one of the rare people who like my job

[@tiffanyalberti2029]

What if my productivity and speed and efficiency depends on my boss doing her fudging job and doing her part but she doesn't want to do her job and shows up whenever she feels like it? I don't think I will get fired for being less productive but I am all about productivity. I am looking at some other job opportunities but it may take a while for me to get a new job. Any advice??

[@aleynamutlu4206]

We kinda label some people in our lives like psycho boss or narcissistic manager or toxic people or mobbing colleague I wonder what do they do ? To them who is the psycho or narcissist who is their villain in their story.

[@semplybalanced3210]

Why does it even matter who’s the villain in a psycho bosses life ? It doesn’t make them less terrible.

Bosses needs to be a psychopath, cause they can handle all sorts of difficult troubles using a very unexpected ways

Guy thought as long as he hired somebody, he could get the machine installed, even if there was onky four weeks left to prepare. Was there less than two weeks Asked fir help, big job laying out machine pads. Help denied. So I gave two weeks notice he sacked me. Good luck, the machine arrives in two weeks. Guy never saw someone quit a six figure job before. Hes a slave to his lifestyle inflation. But no talent or skill to market. All friends and relatives. Pass. Amateur hour.

I literally started working at this new shop and the owner is a complete asshole slave driver nothing is every good enough, fast enough and all the while you get shit talked to you and insulted by him.
