Having a toxic manager at work is torture. It makes you hate your job even more, constantly wait for the working hours to end and basically forget about work-life balance as the bad mood ‘travels’ home along with you. So while bosses shouldn’t be best friends with employees, having an understanding and helpful boss really increases job satisfaction.
Also, they tend to act like they are above everyone else and can do whatever they want. Well, sometimes, they can quickly fall down. This one manager found herself in a similar situation when she tried to take a portion of servers’ tips, and quickly was reported and fired.
