Publisher's Synopsis
Surviving the Whacko Boss Improve Your Work Life. Increase Your Income. Be more Productive and Satisfied at Work. Feel Happier and more In-Control
Is the Boss Driving you Crazy? Are you Suffering from Harassment? Is your Workplace Unpleasant and Making you Physically or Mentally Ill? Have you ever felt like you want to Whack your Boss Because of Harassment?
I have been where you are today.
The Whackos In my life, I've had all kinds of managers, from a boss who was declared insane to the compulsive micromanager and, worst of all, the manager headed for retirement who didn't want to approve or do anything that might rock the boat. I felt attacked, belittled, unvalued and overwhelmed, sometimes all at the same time.
These situations affected my health and well-being and caused a feeling of helplessness and depression that nothing seemed to fix. Life appeared to be nothing but failure due to the constant invalidations and negativity.
Is Your Boss Making Your Crazy? Is your boss driving you crazy or harassing you? Is he or she making your miserable, denying you raises and promotions, or micromanaging your every move? Are you happy with your work situation? Do you understand it will not improve unless you do something about it?
Would you prefer to look forward to going to work every day? Wouldn't you like to be respected, make more money and go home feeling satisfied at doing a job well done?
Do Something About It Well, I realized I could do something about the whacko boss. There were many options, from a simple conversation all the way to finding new employment. What I realized is it takes two to be a victim - the victimizer (the whacko boss) and the victim. I decided to break that crazy dance.
