You No Longer have to Endure Bad Behavior at Work Even the Bad Boss - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / You No Longer have to Endure Bad Behavior at Work â€" Even the Bad Boss - Introvert Whisperer You No Longer have to Endure Bad Behavior at Work â€" Even the Bad Boss One of the most helpless feelings is when you encounter bad behavior from someone you work with including your boss.   Most people aren’t masters at confrontation not just because they don’t have the skill, but also usually because most people believe it puts their job security at risk.   Yet, it’s that bad behavior that will make going to work a miserable experience.   It’s the number one reason why people leave their job. The problem with going to a new job is that you generally can’t outrun bad behavior.   You find it in most work settings.   Management hasn’t figured out how to correct subordinates behavior for all sorts of reasons and one of those reasons is that they don’t know there is a problem. You would think they would but often that’s not the case.   And as we all know, you can’t fix something unless you know you have a problem. I think most employees think that management “should just know” when a co-worker or boss is wildly inappropriate but that’s not how it works.   Most leadership operates under the assumption that “no news is good news”.   They all have their own job to perform and until they hear a squeaky wheel, they focus on other matters.   It’s a double-edged sword.   The general collective isn’t going to say anything assuming that management knows and won’t do anything and management assumes that everything is going well. What can you do?   Submit your complaint anonymously to your management from a new company called Warble. https://warble.work/ Warble allows you to submit feedback on any workplace behavior no matter who is doing the behavior and keeps your identity private.   In turn, that feedback is submitted to your management with the intent of helping to improve the situation and to improve management skills in the process. Warble shared with me some tremendous information they had collected along the path of their startup.   This information confirmed what founder, Carolyn Holliday, experienced herself with a very bad boss.   Carolyn found herself in a situation where she didn’t trust HR or management if she stepped forward and said something.   She could see that her boss not only demoralized the ranks but also made very bad business decisions.   The behavior of one negatively impacted many people and cost the company. Only when she had given notice and was on her way out the door did Ms. Holliday have a candid conversation with the CEO about the issues created by her manager. While the conversation didn’t stop her departure it did become the catalyst for the CEO to make numerous changes and improvements, including the departure of her former boss. As she continued to study workers experience through copious surveys the data showed that 64% of respondents witnessed behavior at work that was disruptive to culture, productivity and/or the business but did not report it to management or HR.   The #1 reason for not reporting the dysfunctional behavior was the general lack of trust between employees and management. 38% reported that the poor behavior was their manager and 38% felt that reporting would result in retaliation or termination. Warble squarely addresses the lack of visibility and knowledge by management to their biggest issue associated with toxic work environments.   It does sound like they need more than one person from a company to submit a complaint before Warble comes forth with the input so I’d suggest if you know of other people with shared concerns that you encourage others to report the issue through Warble. If you have concerns with a co-worker or boss and you don’t feel comfortable reporting the issue to HR or upper management you now have an option.   Remember: Never assume decision-makers know the issues you are encountering.
