Types of Managers - According to a survey by Randstad US, lack of engagement leads to many bad habits among employees: The study found that (5%) of unhappy employees drink alcohol, (15%) take naps, and (60%) browse and share comments on social media, (55%) shop online, (40%) prank their colleagues, and (11%) watch Netflix while being in the company.
Yet, before blaming these employees, we must confess that these acts result from their bad managers, who lead the employees to be disengaged and unhappy at their work.
In this respect, Gallup has been tracking employee engagement in the United States since 2000, and the results show that roughly half of the 7,200 respondents polled left a job "to get away from their manager."
So, before joining any company, you have to make sure that your boss isn't one of the following:
