Read This If You Don't Like Your Boss
Jul 14, 2022
Throughout my career I have worked with some incredible managers and some outright crappy ones...
...so I know what it's like to turn up to work and be unhappy because of your manager.
There was this one time in my role as an EA when I found myself turning up early, working back late, and absolutely busting my chops to manage a huge workload and their expectations.
Nothing I did felt good enough. I felt like I constantly did a terrible job but I didn't have the words to talk to my manager so the situation didn't change.
I thought many times about leaving. And when I say many times I mean every minute of every day...
...and it was causing me to feel anxious, stressed, and unhappy and the worst thing was that it was spilling into my life at home.
I'm not unique. This happens to so many women I've worked with.
We don't get to live our best lives because every day we're in a working relationship that isn't positive. We're stuck in a work environment that sucks and drains our vitality and confidence.
So why are managers like this?
I wish I could tell you.
Most likely they haven't been taught to be great leaders and they think they're doing a great job, or perhaps they're also suffering under their manager.
Some are narcissists.
Some are just in the wrong role.
But here's the thing. That's not even the right question to be asking yourself.
The real question is...
Is your manager likely to change for the better in a timeframe that works for you?
Probably not.
My job as a career coach is to empower you to take back your power in these situations...
...rather than waiting for others to change around you.
In my 6-Week Career Accelerator Program, you can break free of your current crappy manager and find a role, organisation and leader that will totally work for you.
Imagine turning up to work thrilled with the support you get from your manager?
It's actually possible. I see it every day.
If you're reading this and thinking to yourself "gosh, that sounds like me" then it's probably time to take accountability for what you can change.
If you want to be fully supported whilst you do it, I'd love to help you!
