They say that a manager can have a greater impact on a person's mental health than a therapist. A good leader can boost one's morale and productivity, while a horrible boss not only causes stress at work but may also affect one's personal life.

This list is about the latter. It exposes some of the worst managers any employee can have, from denying paid time off to firing someone because they had to attend to a sick loved one's needs.

If you've been in the unfortunate situation of having a deplorable employer, this may hit right in the feels in the most infuriating way.

With younger people comprising a significant portion of the workforce, values and approaches to work have also undergone considerable changes. Loyalty to a job, for one, is no longer the same.

A report by SHRM featured a survey by business consulting firm West Monroe that revealed 45 percent of employees who have been with their current employer for less than a year had already begun applying to new jobs.

HR technologist Ken Ohler notes that "the compact between employer and employee is fragile" and "loyalty has its limits." As he told SHRM, one point of vulnerability is when a boss frustrates and disengages their staff to the point where a competitor could lure them by offering something better, either through salary or benefits.

"Even if pay is in the right place, lack of strategic direction from leaders, frustration with work processes or technology, or lack of development could create the opening for another employer to steal top talent," Ohler said.

In our intro, we mentioned that managers have a significant impact on employees' mental health. Psychologist Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein gave some specific examples in an article for Psychology Today.

Micromanagers are a classic example of a toxic boss. Apart from causing severe anxiety, Dr. Bernstein says these types of managers can also destroy an employee's confidence and even cause depression.

"When employees feel they have no control over their work, it can create a sense of helplessness and erode their self-worth," Dr. Bernstein wrote, noting that micromanagement can make an employee second-guess every decision, which may make them detest a job, even the ones they used to love.

#15 Old Manager Texting Me

Old manager keeps texting me, blocked him by phone number the first time but just checked again months later and he found me on facebook. I worked with this man when I was 16 years old. Pretty gross if you ask me.

There's also the boss with unrealistic expectations. They're the ones who assign unreasonable deadlines while also expecting flawless output and on-time delivery. They may also reject an employee's request for a timeline adjustment.

Dr. Bernstein says managers with unfeasible demands not only lead to burnout, but also to chronic stress and physical health issues.

"When employees are constantly pushed beyond their limits, they can experience emotional exhaustion and a diminished sense of accomplishment," he added.

I have a stomach bug and he's saying I have to find someone or come in… I serve people food all day… first, I don't want to get the customers sick, and second, I don't want to go in when I'm feeling miserable to make $9/hr. I understand being responsible for my shift, and I have tried to find coverage as best as I can, but how are you gonna tell me I can't call out sick? I haven't called out once at this job and I've been here for 5 months.
