<strong>
Where do bad bosses come from?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Manuela Priesemuth, PhD, is an associate professor of management at Villanova University, and tells
<em>
The Hustle
</em>
that abusive behavior is often learned.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
It trickles down from bosses to new hires who eventually practice what they endured — similar to the way children learn social behaviors from parents.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But while business cultures once prized “tough love” as a motivator,
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
research shows
</a>
it doesn’t work.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“It actually demotivates people,” Priesemuth says. “It destroys people. It creates anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and distress.”
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
A 2021 Australian study
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
found
</a>
toxic workplaces tripled the risk of depression. Priesemuth’s own
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
research
</a>
found it hinders teamwork.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
It also hurt companies
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
An SHRM study
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
found
</a>
bad managers cost companies $223B in turnover between 2014 and 2019.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Other costs include lost productivity or destructive behaviors among employees — like taking
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
fake sick days
</a>
.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Companies also risk losing clients and customers if abuse is exposed.
</p>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
What should you do if you have a bad boss?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
If you hear a lot of “that’s just how it is around here,” Priesemuth says you may be in a toxic culture, which is hard to change.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
But if you like the company, you could try HR. Priesemuth admits it’s not always easy and complaints can take a long time, but some key steps include:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Documenting incidents, including emails and recorded virtual meetings
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Finding witnesses and allies — abusers often have multiple victims
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Looking for other executives or supervisors to talk to
</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The maybe-silver lining?
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
Few bosses
</a>
are actually psychopaths.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
“We are only the recipient of that type of bad behavior, but a lot of times, something triggers [abusive bosses],” Priesemuth says. “So perhaps it's worth it to understand the antecedent to that behavior if we want to create a better workplace.”
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">

<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
The TLDR Act…
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
… stands for Terms-of-service Labeling, Design and Readability. The act will force companies to provide a summary statement that makes their terms and conditions easier to understand.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
Along with simplifying legal jargon into accessible language, the summaries will highlight:
</p>
<ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Any data breaches in the last 3 years
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
Any personal data that the site collects
</li>
<li style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
If and how consumers can delete their data
</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="font-size: 17px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; padding-top: 8px; margin: 0px;">
<strong>
Why now?
</strong>
</h4>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The act follows the testimony of Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, which revealed alarming
<a style="color: #121212; text-decoration: underline !important;">
practices
</a>
happening inside Meta’s properties, Facebook and Instagram.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
As a result, lawmakers are pushing for more transparency from tech companies across the board.
</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
The bad news? Now instead of blindly agreeing to whatever the terms of service entail — you may have to actually read something.

Following a legal ruling that a Canadian company does not, in fact, have rights to the Denver Broncos, the team could now be put up for sale by the 7 children and sibling of former owner Pat Bowlen. The challenge? The children each own ~11% of the team —
