They find it difficult to express appreciation and gratitude for the value you add or what you contribute to the team, and they don’t even pretend to want to.
But horrible bosses don’t ever want employees to forget it though. Life doesn’t stop and organizations don’t just shut down after employees resign. That is a hard concept at times because we aren’t actually replaceable as human beings, but in the workplace, we are all replaceable. Most of us acknowledge that we are indeed replaceable. You don’t add value and are easily replaceable. If you don’t like the way things are, they stand ready to send you on your way because they perceive that you can be very easily replaced. Indeed, they want to believe that they are superior to you and you are inferior to them by virtue of positional authority and status, and they will do whatever it takes to maintain the imbalance of power and are willing to work overtime to make sure you recognize it. Horrible bosses are often on a power trip and seek opportunities to grab more and more power in an effort to cover for their insecurities. You are inferior to them – in most every way. Rules and standards are put in place for employees who they perceive as inferior to them. In their minds, they make the rules so they should be able to break them whenever and however they want. They believe that power can be abused and that they should-of course-be held to much lower standards than you. Horrible bosses don’t believe they should be held accountable in the same way as their employees. Even though they are the boss and should be expected to lead by example, they don’t.
