## Resource

This week we’re talking about bad bosses — the ones who make simple things complicated, communication confusing, and every day just a little more stressful than it needs to be. We’re breaking down the habits and behaviors that quietly ruin a workplace and why people who lead like this… suck. If you’ve ever stared at a message and thought “what does that even mean,” this episode is for you.
