Toxic Boss - Unprofessional

Pinkoctopus Digital Agency Sdn Bhd.

I've been working here for about 8 and half months. There is always good and bad. Good is the staff over here is very good and friendly. Pinkoctopus, One-AP & Artone is working in the same roof but totally different company. Pinkoctopus consist of 5 person (1 designer, 1 copywriter, 3 boss but only 1 working) in a company, whereas One-AP & Artone is sharing a team called Studio Hub - consist of 3 person (designer), 1 management & 1 advertising media manager.

Define your boundaries in terms of what types of behavior you will and won't tolerate. Clearly defining these limits according to your own standards of professionalism makes it easier to ignore smaller incidents. It also makes it easier to speak up when unprofessional behavior does cross the line.

1. My boss lies.
   A boss who lies is untrustworthy. It is not a good foundation for a productive relationship. They may legitimize their fibbing by rationalizing that others do it, deflect this character flaw by pointing the finger to others, or use mistruths to generally hide blunders.
2. Your boss is never, ever wrong.
   Learning to admit that you're wrong is one of the best things you can do for your colleagues. If your boss refuses to admit that they're wrong, this means they're not willing to go out of their comfort zone for you.
3. Your boss over-promises.
   An over promising boss is an untrustworthy boss.
4. They're quick to blame you for mistakes, but rarely express gratitude when you succeed.
   Does your boss put you down in front of others? If you let it go once, it'll happen over and over again. Good bosses know they should have this conversation with their employees in private.
5. They don't want to hear your viewpoint.
   Stubborn bosses are as common as company water coolers.
6. You're not given a chance to grow. There are few things more aggravating at work than being kept stagnant with the same routine responsibilities over a long period of time, especially after you've voiced interest in expanding your level of contribution.
