The Boss From Hell
How to Survive and How to Escape
BookRix GmbH & Co. KG81371 MunichOverview
Whether you are a professional or a member of the custodial staff, being subjected to the whims of a psychopath are more than possible when he’s the Boss.
Whether you are working for the money and have no choice, whether you think you are part of a higher purpose and feel ‘morally bound’; when your Boss is a psychopath, your only protection is to recognise it, and deal with it.
The most vital first step is to separate yourself from the work. That is the survival trait you must develop. It is very difficult, for all your life you have been taught to Take Pride in your work. The word ‘your’ is significant, because although this is your life, is NOT your work.
The work belongs to the Boss From Hell.
Tell yourself that the work is not important. That You are important. That the work is NOT Your Work, it is the work of the Boss From Hell.
This is going to be the Mount Everest you must climb, especially if your Boss holds himself out as some ‘Great Man’, whom the public thinks is a humanitarian, a liberator, a saint.
Understand that his purpose is oppressing you, that is the job you were hired to perform.
Those who present themselves as a ‘Great Man’ are the worst form of psychopath. He is uses this 'legend' to attract unsuspecting innocent people to his ‘business’.
His business is self-aggrandisement, and if that requires him holding a dead and bleeding body in his arms for the media to promulgate, that is what he will do.
He will deceive and exploit the public as he does his employees. He is not performing any laudable function. He is only using his perch on the backs of others to gain fame.
Understand that many of these ‘Great Men’, wind up in prison and will carry you with them if you don’t escape.
Many ‘leaders’ in the struggle of ‘oppressed’ people are mercenaries. They find a 'cause’ which they use to gather fame. It is the fame they want, they don't care about anyone but themselves, for many are psychopaths.
Those who work for these 'Great Men' have a bit more difficulty in appreciating that they are employed by a psychopath.
A Boss From Hell is a psychopath. Especially when he plays 'The Great Man.'
Tell yourself this as often as you can to build an armour and allow you to escape with little of your integrity compromised, your name untainted, and your abilities intact.
And you may ask: What is a Psychopath?

ITEMS
Item 1 Glibness/superficial charm
The BFH knows how to talk to people, has a wealth of expressions and methods to distract and misdirect. He is not at a loss for words. When confronted by an angry client he can quickly supply the words to pacify. He knows how to use the media.
Item 2 Grandiose sense of self-worth
The Office is strewn with his Awards and Achievements, photographs and Qualifications as if a shrine. He may often use the term ‘We’ when it is only him.
Item 3 Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
He likes to change procedures, the focus, new priorities, which are pushed on the staff. Whether it destroys productivity or morale means nothing.
Item 4 Pathological lying
He will lie about anything and everything. He will claim something is being worked on, when it is not, that he did something that he did not, and whatever he says or promises to keep his staff functioning, is a lie.
Item 5 Cunning/manipulative
He will trick employees by telling one that the other said or did or betrayed to cause dissension. He will try every trick he can to get what he wants and what he wants is to oppress his staff. That is the purpose of his life.
Item 6 Lack of remorse or guilt
No matter what he does, even if it causes death, it does not touch him. He can lose money, relationships, employees and it means nothing to him. No matter what he does, he will never feel guilt.
Item 7 Shallow affect
This is a psychological term. Shallow affect can be measured with a brain scan. The psychopath shows a much reduced display of emotion. He can watch torture and feel nothing.
Item 8 Callous/lack of empathy
He does not ever imagine himself in the position of those he abuses. He truthfully couldn’t care less about anyone outside himself.
Item 9 Parasitic lifestyle
It is not that he ‘lives off’ of a parent or spouse, he lives off the people he abuses and exploits. He makes his money, his fame, his reputation from the work of others. He under pays, overworks, and tries to make his employees think they are striving for a ‘Greater Good’.
Item 10 Poor behavioural controls
He can lose his temper, shout, even assault others with no appreciation that they could fight back, that he could wind up in trouble with the law. He does what he wants without consideration.
Item 11 Promiscuous sexual behaviour
He has affairs with anyone willing. Staff, clients, visitors, anyone. He can be married with children, it means nothing to him. If he feels like having sex with this woman, unless she rejects him, he will.
Item 12 Early behaviour problems
He often is a troubled child who, once he gets away with his actions will repeat them for the rest of his life.
Item 13 Lack of realistic long-term goals
He has some insane belief without proof that he will get millions of dollars or greater fame, and this is what he wants without creating the path to get them.
Item 14 Impulsivity
He can and will fire someone because they offend him without thinking about how it will effect the business or the staff. He will hire someone in the same manner.
Item 15 Irresponsibility
He can walk out or not show up even when it is crucial. He moves according to his desires of the moment. He can accept fees and do not work, he can appropriate sums entrusted to him.
Item 16 Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
He never accepts responsibility for any fault. No matter what he does he will find someone else to blame. He will cast aspersions without proof and expect that his word alone is sufficient.
