Why I Stayed In A Toxic Work Environment

Watching my supervisor attempt to use a computer makes my brain hurt... which is an accomplishment of a sort, since the brain has no actual nerve endings 😕😵‍💫 #work #yeesh #badbosses

Hello, Devs!
I'm giving a talk next week on how work should not suck (ok, there's an asterisk in the printed title) and while I've got my own 20+ years of leadership experience to draw from, it only seemed right to ask the Hachyderm community: What behaviors would you appreciate (and not appreciate) from leadership?

If you want the truth about what it's like to work for a company—or a specific manager—connect with past employees and have a coffee chat.

They are more likely to give you an honest answer about the reality of the company culture, what they reward, how they treat employees, and whether working there is a good fit for you or not.

I thought Bill’s post 9-11 gratitude was nice...and then it took a “milkshake duck” turn for the worse. Avoid managers like this guy.

If your boss schedules you until the middle of the night and then early the next morning, your boss is both an idiot and an asshole

After the video of the 'pity city' CEO went viral, here's a clue about why bosses can be so out of touch: the growing CEO-to-worker pay ratio.

After initially saying she would “not be dissuaded by a 90-second clip taken out of context," the CEO of MillerKnoll told staff Tuesday that she now understands that her wording “seemed insensitive."

Good read on Elon’s spiraling. Honestly, I’m tired of talking about him or thinking about him too, but he has far too much influence in our society to fully ignore.
Also, I unfortunately am unavoidably stuck often around someone who idolizes him. Anyway, this gets into how the egregious side of Musk has taken over the visionary side.

Elon Musk is just an asshole, and looking at this response from the disabled employee he just fired and repeatedly insulted, he's talked his ignorant ass into a huge ADA lawsuit.

Musk has no idea how much he is torching his reputation. He's gone from the next Henry Ford minus the racism to Henry Ford *with nothing but the racism.*

Had a visceral negative reaction when I spotted a Tesla in the next lane. That's a first.

@kathygriffin He seems like Hal trying to understand humans. “Work hardcore”. “Come to the office at least 40 hours a week”. I am hoping that Twitter actually crashes and no one knows how to fix it. #BadBosses

Here's a nice quiz. Who said it: Elon Musk or Mr Burns?
