Is this the end of the Toxic Boss?

"In the old days, if your boss made a habit of yelling at you in front of your co-workers, "all we could say was tough luck, you've got a crappy boss," says Toronto employment lawyer Janice Rubin. "So maybe look for another job." Then, a decade ago, the corporate bullies met their match: Canadian judges. They started to rule that if a boss was so mean to an employee that he got sick or quit, the boss, or his company, should have to compensate the target for the abuse."

Bullies take toll on morale, productivity

"Word has it that the boss who screams, threatens and belittles is more outdated than Dagwood's Mr. Dithers in the "Blondie" comic strip.

Don't Be Swayed By A Tempting Counteroffer

"Let's face it. When someone quits, it's a direct reflection on the boss. Unless you're really incompetent or a destructive thorn in his side, the boss might look bad by "allowing" you to go. His gut reaction is to do what has to be done to keep you from leaving until he's ready. That's human nature. Unfortunately, it's also human nature to want to stay unless your work life is abject misery. Career changes, like all ventures into the unknown, are tough. That's why bosses know they can usually keep you around by pressing the right buttons. Before you succumb to a tempting counteroffer, consider these universal truths."

How to Quit In Style

"When work gets stressful, most of us have dreamed of shouting “I resign” to the boss, then stomping out of the office, never to be seen again. But according to a survey compiled by Office Angels, that scenario is miles apart from what normally happens when an employee decides to resign.

They can film you with hidden video cameras not only in public areas, but in locker rooms and even restrooms." A Resource from the American Civil Liberties Union.
