    Science Daily[^]:

    Employees bullied by their bosses are more likely to report unfairness and work stress, and consequently become less committed to their jobs or even retaliate, according to a new study.

    I think we have a winner for, "Most obvious research"

    Making it even worse (bold-face mine), "Yang and her co-authors reviewed 427 studies and quantitatively aggregated the results to better understand why and how bullying bosses can decrease 'organizational citizenship behavior'"

        Had they reviewed a 428th study, perhaps they would have found that differing viewpoint that says working for bully bosses is all unicorns and rainbows. There is a certain part of the population that we would say are "gluttons for punishment", they would thrive in such a situation.

              Depending on the employee, they can positively impact the bosses too. Repeatedly, at high velocity.

                  If this is how they throw time and money away, what they need is a boss who'll kick their @rses for them!

                    Totally true. I've experienced this. Having such bosses just push you to arrive on time and go home on time, without giving anything to the Company (minimum effort) :laugh: Usually a short transaction period where you start browsing LinkedIn to find a new job.

                      I'm pretty sure your boss must have applied pressure to you to write that. (Either that or you are such as boss.)
