The Nazi boss

Work stress getting to you? Here are top 10 signs of a bad boss who could be making your life difficult...

1 Non-transparency: While dealing with colleagues, your boss should be clear and not hide relevant information that can harm your reputation at work.2 Demanding respect: Instead of commanding respect he/she is shrewd and aggressive with juniors.3 Picking on juniors: Making jokes about people’s shortcomings and thinking that they have a great sense of humour.4 Thunder thief: Taking away appreciation meant for others by claiming to have done the job themselves.5 Divide and rule: Playing people against each other and making enemies of colleagues so he/she can control them.6 Back-biting: Always bitching about someone else to show them in bad light. Doesn’t matter if they are peers, colleagues or even clients.7 Bending the rules: Constantly changing  the rules to suit oneself. Whether it’s office timings or standard office protocal as they wish.8 Being biased: Nurturing a favourite, showering unnecessary attention or taking their side — especially if they are incompetent — is in bad taste and  spoils the work environment.9 Barking Dog: Always being loud and shouting at people to show their authority.10 Making others a wall: Hiding behind others to shield their incompetencies.
