How to Handle a Bad Boss in Your First Job

In this episode, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the toughest challenges new grads face: a bad boss. Using the example of a first-year analyst at a consulting firm who quit after six months, they explore what constitutes a truly bad boss versus a tough-but-fair one, how to set boundaries without burning bridges, and when it's worth sticking it out. Luna shares a personal story about a micromanaging supervisor who taught her resilience, and Lucas breaks down the decision framework for knowing when to leave. They also discuss how to document issues professionally and use the experience as leverage for your next role. If you're in your first job and struggling with management, this episode offers practical advice for navigating the situation without derailing your career. Plus, a quick word on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #BadBoss #FirstJob #CareerAdvice #NewGrad #WorkplaceDynamics #JobSurvival #Boundaries #Mentorship #Consulting #Management #Quitting #Resilience #ProfessionalGrowth #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheFirstJobPodcast #EntryLevel Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
