Have you ever had a boss you thought deserved a padded cell? You’re not
alone. Nearly one third of employees think their bosses should see a
psychologist. And as it turns out, your so-called jaded assumptions
might not be that far off. Bosses are four times more likely to exhibit
psychopathic behavior than your average guy or gal. Included in these
behavioral traits is an ability to hide who they really are. They can be
charming, but still manipulative and lack empathy and remorse. It isn’t
surprising, then, to find out that all these psychopathic bosses cost
their employees their health and the U.S. economy some serious cash.
Employees with bad bosses can lose their hair, gain weight and up their
chances of heart disease by a whopping 25%. And to top it all off,
poorly managed workplaces are less profitable and have lower levels of
productivity. Psychopathic bosses: bad for you, bad for the economy.
