A good boss can make work enjoyable, but money can make leaving difficult.
If you had to choose, would you tolerate a difficult boss for a bigger paycheck or accept less money for a healthier work environment?
Would you rather have a difficult boss who pays well or a great boss who pays less?

Which one matters more to you?

This question got me thinking if a job I once left because of how verbal abusive the boss was, had a lot to do with how I chose to react to his behaviours or it's really all about just his behaviour.

You know sometimes we don't even consciously react to these abusive bosses but because mentally we're tired and sick of those act

Our condition has conditioned us not to react to those types of boss because of the money sometimes

Verbal abusive? Some people are called "boss" with zero boss quality in them. They always think being like that will make people respect them or be afraid of them

I think if someone knows how to navigate and react better to situations, he or she could work with a difficult boss. Some of them can even be changed over time when the employee proves undisturbed by their attitudes.

You think they change? Most of them are permanently endowed with the attitude that it leaves them for no minute

They don't and will never change except they are sick. You can't function well around them if your tolerance level is low.

I have a very close pal who works in an Archi firm with a though boss that was also verbally abusive. He tolerated him for sometimes but he eventually left after he didn't change. Verbal abusive+hostile boss and work environment is mentally bad for anyone

So those who have mastered their emotions and reactions can work with difficult boss. Those who can not stop crying at every little insults, should find their ways to the good boss and manage what they are paid.

Even if you have mastered your emotions, it will break out when you no longer can take it. We are humans oo

Personally, I'll always choose to work with a good boos, someone who is kind but challenges me to grow and be better in what I do. I may not have much money but I'm not after big pays only.

Yeah I agree with you cos at the end of the day, the nervous you of expecting the unexpected, will gradually nurse a health challenge caused by anxiety

And HBP. Slow death

But a difficult person can work with a difficult boss. They will eventually become friends or break eachothers head, respectfully

I'll protect my mental health at all cost. In this case, I'll gladly leave for the healthier work environment than to stay in an environment which gives me no peace

I'm giving my services, I shouldn't not be rewarded or tolerate someone who is hostile towards me even if the pay is much. Such boss will be using me like a slave and when I don't meet up with the demand set, I know what next
