Reply To: “How Do I Deal With With An Unhinged Boss?”

So, you’re not going to change your boss or your company. There’s no “managing up” on someone who is so unhinged they’re getting into verbal altercations and calling the cops on clients. And in a company where someone can behave with this level of dysfunction and stay employed, it’s a signal there’s a lot more dysfunction and rot where that came from.

Focus your energy on finding a new job, maintaining your health and protecting your mental space. Don’t tilt this windmill.

While you’re job searching, you need to focus on just letting it go. This guy’s a nut. He’s always been a nut. He’s always going to be a nut. And his being a nut is Not Your Problem to fix. Breathe in, breathe out, do your job and move on.
