Maintain Your Sanity at Work * Mastering Narcissistic Bosses

As a person with BPD I've always changed jobs because of narcisistic bosses and micromanagement. It sucks but we should never settle for a workplace that doesn't respect, value and praise us. Whenever it gets toxic, I'm out.

These kind of people are sickening. I dont let anyone or anything affect my money but life is to short to deal with these disgusting people.

Thank you! There is another possible result from this experience, termination! This video is extremely accurate! I had just started a new job (6 weeks in). I was viewed as a threat due to my intelligence and professionalism (not displayed by the person I reported to). I didn't engage in disrespectful remarks, belittling others, dressing frompy (as requested, and actually dressed nice), etc. Plus, I was polite to everyone (unlike the example provided). I also had great ideas, which only that person knew. Once this was realized, the smear campaign began (to make this next step not appear unmerited). After weeks of zero errors, this person pieced their training instructions to create less clarity and magnified any overlooked detail as if I didn't produce weeks of accuracy. In addition, I was solution driven and created tools to avoid mistakes during a rushed training (checklists for anyone to use which I was never able to present). Long story short, I was terminated due to the level of intimidation this person experienced. The good news is... it turned out to be a blessing in "disguise!" 😊

The hardest part of all this is I don’t get credit for my hard work. No praises, feedback, recognition, absolutely nothing. They take the credit and raises for your hard work. I feel drained and burned out. I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ what to do at this point. It is affecting me and everyone else around me. Thank you for explaining everything. You just explained my boss 100%. Word by word is crazy. Should I move on from him and find something else? Is not going to change is getting worse everyday. I feel belittled and nonexistent in the workplace. The way he talks about others makes me feel like he talks about me the same way.

I’m quitting and reporting my boss to HR.

They made me sick 😢 They made me feel bad and don't want go to work 😪😪😪 Thank you for This amazing channel ❤ ❤❤🙏🏼

i held my covert narcissistic boss accountable by resigning and giving a full grievance report to HR. I was asked if I was going to pursue a lawsuit. Let the narcissist sweat.

Excellent! I posted to my NPD Facebook groups. Be aware that employees stop going above and beyond because they are worn out from dealing with coworkers. These folks bring out the worst in everyone, adding to the stress of an all ready filled to the max workload.

The Navy is chock full of these people. Initially, I just thought it was leadership. Then, I realized it was toxic leadership. Now, I know it’s narcissism. It has taken me 22 years to figure this out.

This would be a subject to write a book about. Help companies setup a water tight immune system, preventing these cancerous situations.

Thissssssss is my current status and omg it's draining 😬 I'm currently willing to walk away with no job line up I hate waking up to get ready

I am going through this right now and it has been hell. This video described my supervisor perfectly. Thank you for the insights!

Oh wow, all so true. I once had a boss who told me to go do something, and when I did the VP in charge got so mad and asked me and my boss why I did that. I was left stunned when my boss said nothing. And then, while walking by his office later that day I heard him on the phone with our HR representative. I stopped outside the open door and heard her ask him, why would she do that? At the same time he turned in his chair and saw me standing there. His face went white. He had to tell her it was his idea and then he told me to do it .But imagine if I wasn’t standing there he would’ve lied to save face. And I think that is all to common in corporate America.

That is the problem of companies hiring with narcissistic personality.. owners of the companies don’t notice what’s happening behind the scenes..they keep hiring new employees because of this problem.. Companies must hire people who undergo mental illness test examination.. so that they know who is causing the problem in the company and must avoid problem issues for the future of their employees relationship.. Even bosses must undergo mental illness test examination.. to avoid this kind of problems.. Hard workers and kind people are most their targets!

The longer you watch, the more brilliant this video gets. Beautifully accurate.

I left my last job because my boss was a hardcore narcissistic, he was abusive with the other employees, would work us so damn hard, and say things like “what are you, a child?” Just things a boss should never do. It really rubbed me the wrong way for what we got paid, which wasn’t nearly enough, and how hard we worked, which was ridiculous. I still have carpal tunnel issues because of how strenuous the work was. Looking forward to possibly some answers in this video. 🙏

HR is with the superiors mostly

This video should be titled the characteristics of a narcissistic boss. And what an organization needs to do about it. There was almost nothing about how you as the employee can handle a narcissistic boss

Bc the term narcissism is so overly used, I rarely pay any attention to discussions about it anymore. But I am so glad that I did today. Thank you!

This is definitely a user guide! I appreciate how thorough this was, and on point. These individuals create so much toxicity in the environment as well as dysfunction and chaos, making sure that you have your standards and you’re clear about your boundaries and that you’re not reacting, but rather responding for the more documentation and really trying to stay away from them as much as possible nonetheless, it’s hard for these people to really be reprimanded because a lot of these organizations are built on narcissism.
