Made a lot of headlines but didn't have a lot of substance. Here's my perspective as an ex tech guy and founder mentor on what this should mean. njoy


Unionizing? In the United States under Donald Trump? in this day and age? Somehow I don't see that happening ;)


Thanks for the feedback. I'll notify Wix.


actually we can't. Spacey's antiques are EXACTLY the reason I chose the photo. or do you think Tyrants can't also sexually harass others at work?


do you know how rich I'd be if I could do that? ;)


yup. that's why I left corporate ;)


yes. really good point. I've seen that happen to a minor degree. I'd start by carefully documenting everything that's agreed and changed and then raising to issue to senior management on both teams so they can sit down and discuss it. Worse case you also flag this to HR and during the 360 review process but there's only so much you can do ....


That's a great example. One solution here might be to find an intermediary who works well / gets along with the Toxic boss and involve them in process somehow. You might just go to them for advice and try to understand how they they work with the person and what process has worked well for them. Another one would be to try and meet with your Toxic boss outside the office in a more neutral setting where you can have an open and honest conversation about what's going on. What I've found is people behave and open up differently outside of an office setting. You could also discuss your problem with other folks who work for this person and see if they are coming up against the same problem. If they are, then there are clearer grounds for you all to bring the problem to someone else to try and present it objectively coming 360 review time.


Thanks for all the feedback guys - good or bad. It's all helpful. If you found that post useful, I just published the followup post to that: 3 Steps to Finding your Dream Job. Hope it helps and have a great weekend: https://www.madmork.com/single-post/2017/08/31/Need-a-Job-Ch...


You're actually 100% right. That's why after this last one I permanently decided to stop working for others and focus on what I'm doing now: Coaching others to not make the mistakes I did and writing to help those i can't help directly ;)
