28 Of The Most Infuriating Requests From Bosses That Got Them Competing For The Worst Boss Award

According to Gallup's State of the American Manager report, half of all employees in the US have quit jobs at some point in their careers in order to get away from their bosses. (The figures are similar or even higher for workers in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.)

And the subreddit r/ChoosingBeggars has plenty of examples that illustrate this figure.

While some may find them amusing, the reality is that having a bad superior can be mentally and emotionally exhausting; it's essential for employers to recognize the importance of treating their staff with respect and fairness to maintain a healthy and productive work environment.
