I had three terrible bosses at the same time, all partners in the company.
One guy? I had to spend hours wording messages so he couldn’t twist them against me. He’d dodge every question and then sabotage my team behind our backs.
Another one would just straight up lie. Not little white lies—big, obvious lies. When I’d call him on it, he'd threaten to fire me.
And the third? Thought we were friends. Turns out, he was trashing me to other people while acting all cool to my face. Found out through a mutual friend. Also, zero passion for the company, just there to collect a check and look important.
sounds extremely toxic, how long did you last there?

Over 6 years, but I got lucky.
One of the original partners bailed, fed up with the toxicity (they were tearing each other apart, too). A new partner stepped in, took charge, and told the other two to back off. He stripped them of management roles, cut off their direct contact with my team, and made it so they could only go through him and me.
It was still a hassle, but the relief was immense.
[EDITED] This was before I bought Bitcoin. Back then, they had me by the balls.
