Monday morning is here again and you have a report that’s due but you're totally shaken. Regardless, you're certain your employer will figure out how to destroy your efforts with different criticisms.

Or, on the other hand, perhaps it's Friday, and your back is throbbing from the weight of helping the whole team all through the week. You look back and you find out that your employer is so lazy, and you're beginning to think about how the organization will survive when you're no longer there to accomplish basically everything.

If these situations remind you of your work environment, then you might be seeing indications that your boss is toxic. Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell whether your boss is deliberately toxic or simply withdrawn at a point in time.

Toxic bosses can take many forms; some are critical and tyrannical, while others are so closed-off that you wonder how they got the job in the first place. They can order you to come in for work during Thanksgiving, they can send you an email for you to work on something in the middle of the night, or they may even want you to come to work despite being admitted to the hospital.

The list goes on and on, but then, we’ll pause right here and let you check out this list of texts by toxic bosses to their employees.

1. An employer trying to force his employee to work during the holidays, even though they made it clear they won't be unavailable

2. This employer trying to withhold their ex-employee's paycheck and accused them wrongly of breaking equipment

3. "My buddy's boss last night. Good for him but I wouldn't have answered"

4. A boss trying to schedule their employee for a 20-hour shift without getting their consent

5. "So I'm 5 days into my covid positive reading and my boss sends me this because she's short staffed and I'm still feeling absolutely ill. I'm in Florida for winter break and she's back in NC meaning I would have to fly while covid positive."

6. A boss trying to get his ex-worker back

7. "Quit a job where I was overworked and underpaid, and found a more stable better paying job. Manager texts me months later."

8. A boss who won't tolerate a second of lateness

9. "Texted my boss i couldn't make it in today"

10. A boss giving 3-hours notice to their employees

11. "Boss texted an assignment on my day off."

12. "My boss just installed $6,000 cameras instead of paying for new bathroom pipes that stink up the resturaunt."

13. "The passive-aggressiveness from my boss. Btw I’m only 17 at a part time job"

14. "Look what my friends manager texted. As a manager is she in the right to do this to my friend"

Having a toxic person as a boss is not something anyone would wish for. Besides the fact that they taint the working environment, they also create a culture where individuals are hesitant to speak out or request help.

And as time passes, the toxicity can destroy the worker’s confidence, influence their work negatively, and reduce their mental capacity.
