Every year, US companies spend $15 billion on managerial and leadership development. But how much of that money actually goes to good use? According to a study by Life Meets Work, 56% of American workers claim their boss is mildly or highly toxic. Another study by the American Psychological Association found that 75% of Americans say their “boss is the most stressful part of their workday.”
And there’s a Twitter thread that illustrates these numbers beautifully. After Jordan Gibbons, a pop star and fashion designer from Manchester, UK, shared a particularly dreadful talk he had with his manager, other people responded with similar experiences, and the whole thing has turned into a painfully funny thread that we simply must show you. Enjoy!
