25 Reasons Fed-Up Workers Finally Left Their Toxic Bosses

11. Backstabbing Bosses

Brian Baj shared on Facebook, “A senior position was opening up, and my direct manager told me about it. I had pulled up my resume when an HR person stepped into my office. I thought nothing of it, but the next day she had my manager write me up for updating my resume on company time, which made the promotion unattainable. He refused to have my back and admitted to HR that he had tipped me off about the opening. That was my last day. Ridiculously petty.”

This boss had no integrity. No one should have to work for someone who cannot have their back once in a while. Perhaps someone else had favor over them, so they needed a reason to refuse the promotion for nepotism.
