What’s one thing you will always bake into your leadership style or routines that you can attribute to surviving a toxic boss? I’ll go first. I will never forget to stop and listen to someone’s reply when I ask “how are you”? I won’t hurry along and ignore their often genuine reply to a question I asked .

When someone comes to me with a complaint about a co-worker or a co-worker’s behavior, I will always ask them if they have spoken directly to that co-worker before coming to me. I detest tattletales and bosses who encourage them. I’m always happy to mediate a conversation between 2 people but I will not ever accuse someone with a secondhand story from someone else.

Obviously there are times when the direct approach can’t be used (harassment, threats, sexually inappropriate behavior, etc.) — but in general, I’ve been so traumatized by meetings that started with the words “I’ve heard that you”…” or “Someone came to me and told me…”

Everyone needs to grow up and handle their own stuff instead of expecting managers to play mommy.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hello, I have accepted an offer at a competitor company and sent in my resignation letter. My start date is 5 weeks from now so I put in my end date 4 weeks from date letter was signed. The manager said I had to leave the job in 2 days and the company can only play 2 weeks of work. Is it normal how they do that?
