Bad bosses: Why do managers suck?

Show notes In this week’s episode of Is This Working?, the podcast that questions the impact of work on our lives, we talk about bad bosses and ask - why do managers suck? For our season finale, we talk about our own experience with bad bosses and we try to work out whether we’ve been good managers ourselves. We discuss the structures in place that make it hard for managers to be good at managing. We then talk about what can be done if you have a bad boss or if you want to become a better manager yourself. That’s all for season one. Please do let us know what you want from season 2. Thanks for listening! Get in touch We want to hear from you because this podcast is all about how we can improve your working lives. Get in touch with any questions you have about your working life.
