Unrealistic deadlines, constant surveillance: How bad bosses create toxic workplaces

First days on a new job are often straightforward. Meet new colleagues, set your email signature, get to know the boss. Not for Ted, a scientist in the Midwest.

On his first day at a biology research lab, his new manager sat behind him and timed him as he completed various tasks. When she thought he was too slow, she rebuked him. Unrealistic deadlines followed along with the expectation that employees come into the office before she did at 7:30 a.m. and stay until after she left at 8 p.m. His manager was toxic.

"Definitely I was upset," said Ted, who requested his last name not be published to protect his privacy and future job prospects. "As soon as I left, I was grateful because now I know all the major red flags from experience."

He’s not alone. A study from ResumeHelp last year found that roughly 70% of workers had "considered quitting due to bosses’ behaviors." Meanwhile, over 80% reported "a negative impact on team morale. and 74% observed a negative impact on team productivity due to their manager’s conduct."
