Kyle Elliott, who’s been a full-time career coach since 2017, spends his days helping tech employees solve their most challenging work issues.He’s noticed a common problem among clients: arduous bosses, including micromanagers.
One key mistake employees make when they’re trying to fix a problem, Elliot told Business insider, is venting to the wrong person – particularly your boss.
It makes sense to push back against a difficult boss when their behavior or expectations are disrupting your work,said Elliot,who is based in california. But venting to them will rarely make the situation better, but nearly always damage trust, he added.
