How to Manage a Boss Who Gaslights You

from The Difficult Boss Podcast with Fexingo: Managing Up, Toxic Managers, and Workplace Survival · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna tackle gaslighting bosses. Using the real case of a marketing director at a mid-sized software firm, they break down exactly how gaslighting shows up in 1-on-1 meetings and email chains — and what to document to protect yourself. Lucas shares a specific 3-step documentation framework that turns vague accusations into provable patterns, and Luna recounts a listener story about a boss who denied approving a budget request that saved the company $200k. They also discuss when to escalate to HR and what to do if HR is compromised. The episode closes with a candid moment about why listener support keeps the podcast ad-free. #GaslightingBoss #WorkplaceGaslighting #ToxicManager #ManagingUp #CareerSurvival #DocumentationStrategy #WorkplacePsychology #EmotionalAbuseAtWork #JobSurvival #BossFromHell #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceCulture #HRStrategy #ProfessionalBoundaries #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersPodcast #DifficultBoss Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
