Few things are more frustrating than an annoying superior. Whether it’s micromanaging, yelling, or being short-tempered that they specialize in, they can sure make their employees’ life needlessly more difficult.
This redditorwas no exception. When the company hired a manager to run the warehouse he was working in, the superior didn’t make the day-to-day any easier. On the contrary, he got on the employees’ nerves, which eventually led tomalicious compliance.

People spend roughly ten years of their lives working
An aggravating superior can make things difficult on many levels, from affecting the workflow to impacting the employees’ health and well-being. That comes as no surprise considering that an average person spends roughly90,000 hoursof their lifetime at work; that’s more than a decade of life spent dealing with work-related matters and people.
Unfortunately, many employed adults reportedly spend this decade next to people they wouldn’t consider dear to their hearts, to put it mildly.Goodhire’s surveyof 3,000 Americans working in ten of the most popular sectors found that while 70% of them actually enjoy working for their manager, the rest—don’t.
Not only that, more than eight-in-ten of them say they could do their job without the manager’s supervision—as the OP seemingly did before and after the supervisor joined the company—and roughly as many believe they could even do their manager’s job themselves.

Quite a few employed individuals have had to suffer from a toxic environment or people at work
Whether it’s playing favorites or micromanaging that gets on employees’ nerves the most, quite a few of them have had to work with a boss they would even call toxic. Needless to say, a toxic environment doesn’t make bearing the workload any easier. According to FlexJob’s2023 survey, the majority of employed adults have worked in a toxic environment at some point in their lives.
The survey found that nearly nine-in-ten of them have worked with a toxic boss at least once, half of them have suffered increased anxiety because of such a superior, and more than four-in-ten have quit because of toxic behavior in their workplace.
As per the redditors’ request, the OP shared another work-related story
