6 in 10 workers say they have a toxic boss, study finds

Employees say poor leadership is driving stress, job changes, and even financial loss, while companies invest more in AI than in people.
Worker here. Can confirm.
The average corporate environment essentially rewards anti-social behavior. The people who get promoted into "leadership" are rarely the best ones for the job.
They're often people who ruthlessly pursue power at any cost or "yes men/women" who excel only at ass kissing. Those two types often go hand in hand and they are both highly destructive in their own ways.
Generally speaking, the corporate world is motivated only by greed and does not value good leadership. Companies with good leadership are not able to sustain severely overinflated stock prices.
On one hand I am the boss. But on the other I have no employees. While on the third hand I AM toxic. And the fourth hand is shooting some craps right now.
One of the reasons I've stuck with my current job for a long time is because my direct manager is the best boss I've ever had, and I'm well aware that's hard to find. I just hope he doesn't leave before I do, whenever that may be.
Same. I'd sooner give up a promotion or a pay rise than a good manager who actually does balance the business vs worker bullshits well.
I have a great boss and have been praised by my staff. I’m really happy to work in academia.
Funny same 4 out of 6 support all Trump is doing. Guess we just have 40% of Americans who are stupid with no hope.
4 out of 6 would be 2/3, or about 67%, but that ratio has nothing to do with this.
