Workplace bullying

There are a variety of television shows and movies that shine light on just how terrible a boss can be. But for many employees, terrible bosses are a very problematic and real part of everyday life.

Handling a bad boss can cause a diverse amount of mental and physical health issues. According to USA Today, a stunning 75 percent of working adults say dealing with their boss is the most stressful part of of their job. While the Journal of Business and Psychology reported workers’ health can be adversely affected by a negative psychological climate, which can lead to a slew of health-related problems, including heart disease and depression.

Some positive traits of a boss include an interest in teaching employees concrete skills and attempting to generate better working methods. It seems that an overall interest in creating a well-oiled work environment is the trait of a good boss.
