A study conducted by Florida State management faculty found that workers with abusive bosses had a lower on-the-job performance than employees with fair bosses.

Here are the results from the study of workers who reported to have an abusive boss:

• 30% slowed down or purposely made errors
• 27% purposely hid from the boss
• 33% confessed to not putting in maximum effort
• 29% took sick time off even when not ill
• 25% took more or longer breaks

Maybe your boss takes away your “mojo.” Whatever the reason, having a job where you feel like under-performing isn’t good for your wellbeing or your career. If you aren’t happy at your job, you aren’t learning. If you aren’t learning, you aren’t going to advance. If you don’t advance, your chances of making more money are limited. If you don’t like your job, get a new one. We can help with that job search.
