According to Gallup’s State of the American Manager research, half of all US workers have quit their jobs at some point in their careers to avoid their Bosses. (The numbers for employees in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa are comparable or even higher.)
Also, the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit is full of cases that support this notion.
While some may find them humorous, employers must understand the value of treating their personnel fairly to create a positive and productive work environment. Having a poor superior may be mentally and emotionally draining.
