5 Red Flags of a Toxic Boss You're Ignoring
Friday, 4 PM. Your manager texts: "I need that report by Monday morning." You know it's 3 days of work. But you don't dare say no. Your weekend just disappeared.
If this sounds familiar, you're probably working for a toxic manager. And the worst part? You might think they're just "demanding."

🚩 THE 5 RED FLAGS:
1. Moving Target Syndrome
Goals constantly change. What was a priority yesterday is useless today. You can never "do well" because the rules keep changing.
2. Public Humiliation
They criticise, correct, or belittle you in front of others—colleagues, clients, in meetings. Never privately. Always with an audience.
3. Credit Theft
Your work becomes "their work" when it goes well. But mistakes? Those are always yours. They take credit for team successes but throw you under the bus when things go wrong.
4. Emotional Rollercoaster
You never know what mood you'll find them in. One day they're your best friend. The next, they look at you like an enemy. You're walking on eggshells daily.
5. Boundary Violation
No boundaries between work and personal life. They expect you 24/7. Messages at midnight, on weekends, even during your vacation. And if you don't respond immediately? You'll hear about it.

💡 IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:
✓ The difference between demanding and toxic (hint: it's about respect)
✓ Why you're not the problem—toxic behaviour is the manager's choice
✓ 5 practical solutions to protect your mental health
✓ How to set boundaries professionally
✓ When it's time to plan your exit strategy

📊 KEY STATS:
