Work for loyal employers. Life is too short !

There are these 5 types of bad bosses:

Toddler - never satisfied with anything you do. The moment they do not like something, they lose their cool.

Napoleon - power hungry, they stops at nothing to get their way, e.g. "my way or highway".

Postman - "just a messenger", avoids responsibility like a root canal.

Superman - thinks everything revolves around them, delusions of grandeur are abound.

Pharaoh - tyrant, expects human sacrifices. e.g. expects you to sacrifice your health, your relationships, your family.

This one below is a pharaoh:

"Dear Oleg: My wife got really sick and was in the hospital. Doctors gave her a very bleak prognosis. I told my boss that my wife was really sick.

He joked and then said I am making excuses for not working overtime. The next day he demanded that I work overtime. I went to HR but they were not sympathetic.

I resigned without a job – because my wife needed me besides her.

When I resigned, the boss told me I would have a hard time finding another job. He was right about that.

You know what, I never regretted my decision, even for a second.

Fortunately, my wife got better and fully recovered.

We are back on our feet.

All I can say, jobs and bosses come and go. You need to do what you need to do for your family." Edited for clarity by OV

Be a rock !

Work somewhere where your hard work, your loyalty, and your family commitments are appreciated and respected. Life is too short for anything else.

Agree ?
