signs

that it's bad to work for a manager.

I've written a list here so excuse me for reading from my phone any manager you work for telling you to do something but it's not something they themselves do for me, that person is a problem that I don't like , I have my own saying: I would never ask someone to do something I wouldn't do myself and if I ever worked for a manager who was giving me certain instructions on a task that was not that enjoyable or was difficult or challenging for some reason. I've never cared so much about doing it if I'm sure my boss would do it himself and therefore I'm just participating, but if it just feels like I'm doing a job and I know they're not doing it themselves, then I feel like they're doing it themselves. taking advantage of me.

The best example I can give when this is a bad sign is when I used to work in retail. Early in my career we were told that there were certain items that couldn't be returned or refunded, for example, and what happened is that if a customer came in and wanted to return an item or wanted to refund it and let's say it had been used then you have to say look I can't refund it, it's been used, these are the reasons why and the company and your manager would tell you that's what you should do, but you had times and certain managers that you knew wouldn't have your back and you learned that very quickly. because when the customer said well I won't take no for an answer, I want to talk to your manager and you already tried to plead your case.

Go get the manager manager out and then what you expect them to do is leave. No, my colleague here has said exactly what you should do. He won't refund you, but then they just leave. Yes, just refund it there immediately. By not having backup right away, I lose a lot of respect for that manager and every time a manager was like that early in my retail career, they were a pretty bad manager and that was the first sign of it if a manager thinks their job is to be responsible for them then it is a very bad sign because the job of a manager primarily, whether they realize it or not, is that they are responsible for the staff that is there, they are responsible for the company, responsible for the results, that is The The goal of being a manager is any form of leadership, you are responsible with any power, you have responsibility, so if you believe that the people who work for you are responsible for your own ego or that you are making your life easier, you have it. the other way around and sometimes with a manager, when they already have that mindset, then every decision they make and everything they do will fit that theme that the people who work for me are accountable to me if they work.

For someone like that, it usually ends up being a nightmare to work for people like that, and again, it's a very clear sign to me that he's a bad manager to work for if you see that from the beginning the communication is a two-way thing. It's not just about talking to someone, but also about listening to them. If you have a manager who doesn't communicate problems, highlight them, or express expectations about what they're looking for someone to do, then you can do it. So don't expect that person to just be a mind reader and equally, if the people on your staff or the reporters that that manager has are reporting problems or issues and things like that, then they are reporting them so that the manager can then go and deal with them. with those issues or escalate them or at least take some kind of control and recognition of them if there is a breakdown in communication, whether it's the information they are providing or not listening to the information they are receiving.

You don't and it ends up being a bit of a mess, so any manager who lies to you and you find out, you need to be careful about trusting them in the future right away. If you can't trust your own manager, then you're very cautious about the information you give them, what you tell them, how you behave around them, all kinds of things, especially if they lie persistently, if you know they're lying about things, they're making things up and it's in your own interests it's not in your interest it's not in the team's interest it's not in the company's interest it becomes a problem and people will act a certain way around you or restrict information or be in a position where they cover themselves so as not to be exposed by lies or things that are fabrications of the truth that can lead to a team not trusting each other very much because they don't trust a manager and again that lack of trust that lack of that bad example if you like that it filters within a team any form of management role revolves around setting an example if the example is hard work then there are other people who will follow your example some people will need a little push but generally speaking yes You see that the manager works very hard, naturally there will be people who will then follow his example because they see that that is the example that is being given to them.

If the manager is lazy, then the example being set is that it's okay to be lazy and, unfortunately, that's the standard. That goes on, again, if you are working for a manager who is lazy and you yourself are a hard worker, then you are also likely to find that your colleagues around you are quite lazy because that is the example they have been set. . If a manager is in his position simply because he has friends in the right places and massages the egos of the right people who decide who is in a management position and that is the only reason he is in that position, then generally that It doesn't necessarily mean they're good at doing the job and most of the time they're probably not that good, they'll say all the right things and they'll probably be able to walk their talk and I've met a lot of managers like that, but when it comes to substance, when it comes down to it. you try to make the right decisions, have the right knowledge, have the right experience and skill set to be effective in your role, they get pretty exposed as soon as things get a little bit complicated and in a management job. for a long enough period of time to realize that they will be in that position where they don't know what they are doing even though their job title says or suggests that they should know what they are doing, so if you It becomes clear from the beginning that they are not there on merit, they are there only because of the people they know and it is mainly for political reasons or office politics or company politics that they are in that position.

Be very careful with that, that's never a good indicator for me, the managers I've worked for have favored people yes, they are the type of managers who want to surround themselves with people who will portray them in a glowing image, whatever that may be. a high level. person to that manager, who then goes and asks the immediate group around that manager what they think of them, if they're all like yeah, he's brilliant, oh, she's fantastic, she's oh, something special, then they'll be painted in very good light and therefore that manager if he just wants people around him and promote people to more responsible positions around him that will massage their ego and make them look good for political reasons and for favoritism and basically for this concept of yes men and yes women then they are not necessarily there because they can do the job well, they are only there because their peer group says they are so good and massages their ego and makes them look good to other people; it's a bit of an illusion that they are a good manager because it's not based on evidence or substance, it's based on favoritism from the people around you and this is quite similar to the previous reason of playing politics if they then have a group of yes people around them and they surround themselves with yes people, it would indicate that they are probably political players and therefore not there on their own merit, similar to the previous reason, something to be very careful about if Do you have any managers who belittle or try to discredit people who are good in the group at their job?

They do it because they don't want that person to be a threat to their own position. They will want to cover themselves from having other people who could take their job or who could make them. Looking bad or could expose them for not being as good as their ego or their peer group or their political position within the company may suggest that they really are and therefore they will not want that person to obtain any position of authority or responsibility, as well Do not do it. I don't want to discredit that person as much as possible in my own experience.

I've been discredited by managers who didn't want me to come challenge their position and it's not a nice feeling, so when you walk in and you're excited and you're good at your job and you care and you want to be good and you look at the manager you're working for and suddenly it seems that they are not very favorable to you or have not recognized how good you are. I've worked and they're a little more irritated that you're making them look bad, but it's a sign that they probably won't be someone you want to work with for long, and in truth, they'll probably be one of the first. things that I look at and think, yeah, I need to go and find someone else to work for because I'm not going to advance my career if I work for someone who is going to discredit me just because they want to protect their own power position.

Crazy managers have a habit of making decisions that will reemphasize or boost their own status and their own egos above the interests of their team above the interests of the company, sometimes above the interests of the targets they they must achieve. First of all, it can be a very bad person to want to be in their environment because your place will only be safe if you keep them happy because they will make decisions that will always boost their own ego, so they are the type to do that. fire someone are the type to hit someone in front of other people they are not worried about hurting other people's feelings and can display psychopathic traits you have to be very careful if you go into an environment where you have someone who is crazy about power, since your boss you have to tread carefully with those people and not be on the wrong side of them because they will want to exercise that power at each and every opportunity, okay, I hope you like this video and it gave you a good idea of ​​the top 10 signs that a manager is bad to work with.
