A bad boss can slow productivity, thwart engagement and encourage turnover. Recent research makes it easy to see why; 75% of workers have or recently had a toxic boss, a Monster survey found. And more than half of respondents in a Yoh poll said a manager’s disrespect for lower-level workers would make them think about quitting, even if they liked their job.
The bad boss problem is so pervasive that workers with a poor manager are four times more likely to start job hunting than their peers who have a good one, according to TINYpulse’s Employee Retention Report. Some even say they’d accept less money if it meant working for a better boss.
