Breaking Free From Toxic Bosses: A Threat To Mental Health





Toxic Bosses: A Threat to Mental Health


Have you ever felt belittled, demeaned, or humiliated by your boss? You're not alone. Many employees suffer in silence, tolerating abusive behavior from their supervisors. I have been in that space before and it was never interesting, so sometimes, my heart goes out to those employees that don't know how to walk away from their toxic boss who often torments them and always dragging them in and out of mental health episodes.

 Ah! I once walked away from a boss who would say, right in front of a management meeting,a meeting of over 15- 20 heads of departments and he would say, Busola is the most useless Personal Assistant, I have ever had. The day I told him I was taking a walk, he almost lost it. He repeated same sentence 3times 🤣🤣🤣. He added, do not hand over to anyone till I find a replacement for you.

Can Some Bosses Just Normalize Being Kind? 

Can We Just Normalize Not Creating More Emotionally Drained Employees In This World! As Employees, We Need To Learn Ways To Break Free From Toxic Bosses, As They are a Great Threat To Mental Health Breakdown.

Sometimes, I wonder how CHOLERICS Bosses sleep at night. Ah! After the daily chaos😳😳 Okay, So I understand, they want a success story at all cost but then, tramping upon the souls of others to breathe is just insane.

Most people, who were in my shoes then, were scared of this Boss because they need the money. They hate both the boss and the job but love the pay or hate just the boss but can't leave or report him or her because there is no where to turn to.

 Here is what I will say, you deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and compassion. It's time to prioritize your mental health and well-being. You can leave and still live so don't give up on yourself.  If you're stuck in a toxic work environment, here are some steps you can take:


1. *Set boundaries*: Learn to say "no" to requests that drain your energy or compromise your values.

2. *Seek support*: Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional about your experiences.

3. *Document incidents*: Keep a record of any abusive behavior, including dates, times, and details of what happened.

4. *Explore options*: Consider finding a new job or speaking with HR about the toxic behavior.

5. *Practice self-care*: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health by engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation.


Remember, you are not alone, and you deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Let's normalize kindness, empathy, and compassion in the workplace. Let's create a world where employees can thrive, not just survive.

HOW TO TEACH A TODDLER HOW PARENTS EARN MONEY

Image
Children often feel bad when they approach us, as parents for something they want to buy and we tell them there is no money or we can't buy it now. To some of them: " Daddy don't just want to buy it " or " mummy is just being difficult ".  It forms a bad pattern when children get used to the culture of " there is no money", "No you can not have it", "We can not buy it now", "Stop wasting my money", "Monies are not plucked on trees", "do you think I steal money" and much more. Many children make a request because they know and believe it is Daddy and mummy's responsibility to provide everything and whenever this fails to happen, they feel less loved. It might be just best to enlighten them about how people earn money or income and how money circulates. When children are made to understand how salaries are being paid then they would be more considerate rather than being wasteful or un...

Apenuwa Temitope Daniel

  Apenuwa Temitope Daniel is a remarkable individual whose intelligence and determination make him stand out. He is not just ambitious but also a relentless goal-getter. I recall him once expressing his academic standard, saying he must not see a "C" in his results again. For him, even a "B" signifies failure because an "A" is his true grade. Our friendship deepened as we discovered both similarities and differences in our personalities and preferences. We shared the distinction of earning "A"s in Directing Practical Exams, not just once but repeatedly, confirming our shared dedication to excellence. However, our creative inclinations differed—Apenuwa leaned toward modern, foreign plays, while I had a deep affinity for local and traditional themes. This contrast enriched our perspectives and strengthened our bond. Fate brought us together in a memorable project group during our undergraduate years in 2006, alongside Faturoti Tayo, Latifat Suleima...
