How Do You Deal With A Toxic Boss by Theopneustos: 10:24am On Dec 16, 2023
Good nairalanders
Please how do you handle a situation where you have a senior colleague in your workplace that has a clique that supports her secret acts that are contrary to the workplace do's and donts.
In addition to that tries to discredit you before the MD because you don't join her clique.
Is It to report her to the MD or let it slide?
She's so toxic but pretends a lot before the boss

I think these topics on NL are just about following trends to use some buzz phrase or words.

There is nothing toxic about the above situation you shared.

The golden rules of the workplace are
Rule 1
Do Your Job>Get Paid>Go Home>Rinse and Repeat the next day
Rule 2
Your colleagues are not your friends or family. (Insert Rule 1)

You need to be friend with your enemy sometimes in order to crush them out.

If she doesn't pose a risk to your job or attacks you in any way , avoid her and mind your business. However if she's after you, then report her before she implicates you. Just make sure you have enough evidence to back up your allegations.

Just because you are the subordinate and she is the superior
Doesn't automatically translate to your boss being the toxic one

This is just one side to the story, we too dey hate on people at the top too much for this country

Be cautious, you are dealing with a psychopath I suspect a Machiavellian, report her.

If you focus on what others do, you may in the end lose yourself.
Work you no go work, and them go still no like you.

Focus on the job you’re paid to do, while working to better yourself and your chances of getting better jobs…

Continue doing what you are being paid for in all honesty. You are helping yourself by doing this, which will make you good in the profession.

Start applying for better offers as well.

Don’t forget that there is no perfect work place. Every job has that one or many things you won’t like. So learn to adapt and do your work and get paid as far as you don’t feel your life is in danger.

Lock he/she in the office when almost everyone has closed for the day and throw the keys into the bush in an anonymous way. Make he/she panic for small 3 hours grin

By then maximum frequency of sense would have diffused into the person’s Brain.

Two wrongs can't make a right.
Joining her to do what you think is wrong won't help matters. Do your work and avoid open confrontation because she may use it to do more harm.

If this is true. Then gather as much evidence as you can and voice out ASAP, because when the ball is up, they will try to implicate you.
