Gen Z workers expos the ‘toxic’ behaviors of their bosses

Jessica* is in just her second job out of university but she describes her boss as “very toxic”, saying he dumps his workload on her most days and has previously told her off for complaining to HR.

The 25-year-old works 10-hour days and said her boss has also previously implied she isn’t very smart.

Add to that no one really monitors him, she said, meaning he gets away with behaving badly and doing very little work.

“A lot of the time he has to do reports and instead of him doing them he will get me to do them and there is no one I can tell to say he is offloading his work to me. A lot of time I am doing his work and he’s not doing anything and that’s just how it is,” she told news.com.au.

“If I ever speak to HR, rather than trying to resolve it, they will tell him directly to work it out.”

It’s resulted in her being forced to just “shut up”, despite noticing that 80 per cent of the day her boss is offline and unreachable with no one holding him accountable.
