Signs your boss is toxic and how to handle them
Research indicates one in three employees quit due to toxic workplaces. Experts distinguish between accidental managers lacking skills and truly toxic bosses who lack empathy and rule by fear.

Handling the situation requires recognizing these harmful traits; often, the most effective solution is exiting the environment to find a healthier team, as staying can severely impact personal well-being.
