24% of People Hate Their Bosses: A Post-COVID Workplace Crisis?

In a recent interview on LBC radio, political commentator Lewis Goodall discussed the alarming statistic that 24% of people believe they are working for their worst boss ever. This figure highlights a growing concern about workplace dynamics and management quality. Goodall attributes this partly to a post-COVID decline in management training. "Only about 20% of people receive any form of management training," he stated, emphasizing the lack of professional development in this crucial area. He further suggested that a more engaged and incentivized workforce, fostered by improved management, could significantly reduce workplace stress and the number of sick days attributed to mental health issues. To address this problem, Goodall promotes his new book, "My Boss Is A Moron," which offers readers tips and tricks for managing up and improving their chances of success. The book is available for pre-order now, with an additional incentive of three free career guides for those ordering before June 20th.
