Ep62: You Don’t Have to Work for a Difficult Boss

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Hello, lovely listeners: I’m here to tell you something that may surprise you: You don’t have to work for a difficult boss. Yes, you heard that right! If you’re feeling trapped with a boss who’s critical, and unapproachable you DON’T have to settle. And HERE’S why it matters: continuing to work in such an environment COULD HAVE serious consequences to your health. So come back and join me for Episode 62 where we’ll get into it ALL, right here, on The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast!
As I mentioned, working for a difficult boss can ACTUALLY be dangerous for your health. Studies show that employees with bosses who show little empathy—and with whom they lack a real connection—are 2.4 times more likely to experience an illness.
So, let’s give you the same advice I would give one of my clients – with the right strategies, you can start taking charge of the situation today: 1. Set Clear Boundaries: Setting limits—whether around work hours, communication, or tasks—doesn’t have to be confrontational. 2. Find Allies and Build Support: Having allies to share insights and vent frustrations with can go a long way in helping you feel less isolated and more resilient 3. Invest in Yourself: Instead of focusing on what your boss is doing wrong, channel that energy into your own professional growth. and 4. Consider Your Options: If you’ve tried all the strategies and nothing improves, start exploring other roles or opportunities that align with your values.
