A recent study by BambooHR, which surveyed more than 1,000 employees across the U.S., uncovered the top reasons workers don't like their bosses. And for most, the biggest boss no-no is when they take credit for work that isn't theirs. Lack of trust and empowerment, overworking employees and promoting the wrong people are also among the top bad behaviors of bosses.
Of all participants, a whopping 44 percent say the primary reason they left a job was because of a bad boss. And of the 44 percent, a boss's inappropriate behavior was the main factor that drove them out the door. Other management-related issues that push employees to leave are management style, a condescending attitude and a bad temper.
