10 most common UK bad boss
traits
Glassdoor's modus operandi - anonymous reviewing - provides the
perfect platform for honesty. So, when they release data on what
irritates UK employees the most about their boss, it's best to sit
up and listen.
On average, senior management is given a three out of five;
company's, on average, are awarded 3.3 out of five. This suggests
that UK workers currently enjoy their companies more than their
managers. But what is it that management isn't doing right?
Glassdoor set out to discover this.
They asked: how would you typically react to an annoying
boss?
Two-fifths try to ignore an annoying boss, while 18% resort to
gossip. 12% would confront the situation and five per cent would
proactively try to get them fired.
A few consequences of boss' bad behaviour have been: not going
into work (41%: 46% of women compared to 34% of men); resigning
(21%); taking sick leave (20%); and going AWOL (two per cent).
Women and more likely than men (15% compared to 13%) to request a
transfer.
English bosses have the highest level of inappropriate humour
and make the largest proportion of sexist remarks. Welsh bosses are
the laziest, according to their employees, and their Scottish
contemporaries were the most negative.
David Whitby, UK Country Manager at Glassdoor, commented on the
findings: "The saying 'you don't leave your company, you leave your
manager' still holds true today. The good news is that you can
become a better manager if you are willing to be self-reflective
and open to feedback.
"Very few are born with the innate ability to become a natural
leader, so, just like any other skill, it must be honed to help you
get to where you want to be."
Glassdoor also found out what habits the worst managers
have.

Glassdoor的惯用手法--匿名评审，为诚实提供了完美的平台。所以，当他们发布关于老板的哪些行为最惹毛英国雇员的数据时，最好认真听一听。
高级管理人员给出的平均分是3分，而全公司职员给出的平均分是3.3分。这表明普通雇员目前比管理层更喜欢他们的公司。但管理层是不是正确的呢？
Glassdoor开始探索这一点。
他们问：你通常如何应对一个讨厌的老板？
20%的人试图忽视烦人的老板，而18％的人会说闲话，12％的人会面对这种情况，5%的人宁可被解雇。
老板不良行为的一些后果是：不上班（41％：女性占46％，男性占34％）;辞职（21％）;病假（20％）;擅离职守（2％）。妇女比男子更可能要求调职（女性15％，而男性13％）。
英国老板有最多不合时宜的幽默感，占最大的性别歧视言论的比例。根据他们员工的评价，威尔士老板是最懒惰的，苏格兰老板是最消极的。
Glassdoor的驻英国业务经理David
Whitby评论说："你不是离开你的公司而是离开你的经理这个说法仍然是正确的。好的一面是，如果这些经理愿意自我反思并开放反馈，就可以成为更好的经理。"
"很少有人天生就有能力自然成为一个领导者，所以，就像任何其他的技能一样，也必须磨练以到达你想要的程度。"
Glassdoor还发现了那些最糟糕的经理都有些什么习惯。
