REVEALED | Employees share horrific accounts of worst bosses

When evaluating the sustainability of any job, there are many factors to take into account. For example, a job that you simply don’t care about will never yield your best work, as you simply won’t be invested in it.

Similarly, a brilliant job but one that has a toxic working culture may well appear to have longevity in the short-term, yet will inevitably prove to be unsustainable.

Other factors also make a vast difference; does the company take employee wellness into account? Are there chances to progress your career in the long-term? Does it offer competitive compensation and benefits, with regular salary reviews? All of these factors are essential to ascertain before making any commitment.

Worryingly, a lot of these factors come down to a singular individual, who has the power to simultaneously make the workplace a happy and productive place, or to create a toxic environment of backstabbing, confusion and dissonance. Whilst the vast majority of bosses understand the significance of their actions on their teams, some simply blunder on, making seemingly random choices, regardless of the impact.
