How to Deal with a Toxic Boss — When Your Job Starts to Rewire Your Sense of Self
People search how to deal with a toxic boss as if the problem is logistics—communication, boundaries, conflict-resolution strategies.

They make you question your competence, then your judgment, then your value. They distort your sense of reality until you start believing you’re the problem. This isn’t an article about “setting boundaries” with someone who doesn’t respect them. This is about understanding what happens to you when the person with the most professional power over your life treats you like you’re disposable.
