Nothing seems good enough
Your boss constantly changes expectations, questions your decisions, or makes you feel that whatever you do is never quite right.
Does this sound familiar?
Sometimes dealing with your boss is harder than doing your job.
Difficult boss situations don't always involve shouting or obvious bullying. Sometimes it's a pattern of everyday behaviours that gradually wears you down.
Conversations feel risky
You rehearse what to say, worry about your boss's reaction, or avoid raising concerns because you're uncertain what might happen.
You're starting to doubt yourself
You know something isn't working, but you're no longer sure what's reasonable, what's not, or whether you're somehow contributing to the problem.
Before deciding what to do, it helps to understand what's really happening.
That's what the five-step Survival Guide is designed to help you do.
