When you’re in charge, your opinion simply takes up more space than that of others, whether you intend it to or not.

Keeping it all bottled up will only escalate your emotions. This is a skill I learned when I became a coach. This is not a gossip fest or a vent session. You need someone who will listen with compassion but also remain professional and be your mentor. Or perhaps you’ll be reassured that yes, your boss is indeed a jerk.
