How to Manage a Boss Who Gaslights You

In this episode of The Difficult Boss Podcast, Lucas and Luna tackle gaslighting in the workplace — a form of psychological manipulation where a boss denies reality, twists facts, or makes you question your own memory. They break down real examples like the classic 'I never said that' move and the 'you're being too sensitive' deflection. Lucas explains why gaslighting is different from a simple disagreement or a boss who lies, and why it erodes your confidence over time. They walk through a concrete three-step script for documenting interactions without becoming paranoid, and discuss when gaslighting crosses the line into constructive dismissal or a hostile work environment. Luna shares a listener story about a boss who gaslit an entire team into believing a missed deadline was their fault. The hosts also offer tactical advice on how to anchor yourself in objective evidence — emails, meeting notes, time stamps — and when it's time to escalate to HR or leave. No fluff, just practical survival strategies for one of the hardest workplace dynamics to prove. #Gaslighting #WorkplaceGaslighting #DifficultBoss #ToxicManager #ManagingUp #CareerAdvice #WorkplacePsychology #EmotionalAbuse #WorkplaceSurvival #BossFromHell #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersPodcast #LucasAndLuna #WorkplaceDynamics #HRAdvice #Documentation #ConstructiveDismissal Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
