Kathi and Katherine discuss the challenges of working with a boss who protects difficult colleagues.
It can be infuriating if your boss protects someone who you don’t like working with. In this episode of My Crazy Office, Kathi and Katherine ask a question that many of you may say, “yes” to: Does your boss protect the wrong people? They start with a question from someone who likes their job but can’t stand working with one person who the boss is always protecting. Kathi and Katherine discuss why bosses protect certain people and what you can do to manage those difficult relationships.
