That's why I'm not surprised that in this TopResume survey, 71 percent of respondents revealed that they felt bullied by a boss or direct supervisors.

I've had employees call me in tears because of their boss' belittling and immature behavior, being at their wits end in trying to make the situation work, and asking for advice on what to do next. It truly does exist in today's world because I've seen this type of manager in the workforce first hand. In what might be the worst-case scenario, your manager doesn't like you or how you do your job no matter how hard you try, and you're reminded of it on a regular basis - and yes, I know that the manager who is "out to get you" isn't just a tall tale or exaggeration. They might be a micromanager, a visionary that lacks the ability to get the job done, a boss who likes to take all the credit for their team's good work, a poor communicator, a non-communicator, an absentee boss … the list goes on. It happens to the best of us - we start a new job only to find that our boss is not ideal. You can't choose your boss, but you can choose how you react to a bad one.
