Early Edge – How to Deal with a Bad Boss

We’ve all had them—the boss who makes work harder than it should be, or worse, they’re downright abusive. In this episode of The Early Edge, Jay and Jeff dive into what to do when you’re dealing with a bad boss. They unpack the difference between an abusive boss and one who’s simply tough or demanding, and both share personal stories about working for difficult leaders. Together, they explore how to set guardrails for what’s acceptable, how to keep communication open, and why seeking feedback is key to building and maintaining a healthy working relationship—even when leadership isn’t perfect.
