Why does everyone HATE their boss?
In this episode of The Working Week with entrepreneur Ben Askins - with 1 in 3 workers having recently quit a job because of their boss - Ben’s going back to his roots. In an era of toxic workplaces and toxic bosses, Ben looks back in history to answer the question: have bosses always been this bad?
You’ll get Ben’s take on what it really means to be a good boss, as he tackles some of the worst boss stories you’ll ever hear, and explains why nothing kills motivation like bad management! Whether you need some advice on how to handle your boss, or you’re a manager yourself and could do with hearing some home truths, this one’s for you! You’ll also get Ben’s best advice for businesses and companies, and a few laughs along the way!
If that sounds like you, hit SUBSCRIBE and we’ll see you in the next episode.
We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch with Ben to share your work stories - anonymously or otherwise - and he’ll answer your biggest questions.
