Navigating the complexities of a professional environment becomes significantly more challenging when dealing with a toxic boss.
When that shot caller is a female boss, societal expectations placed on women in leadership can add emotional and psychological nuances to the situation.

Toxic behaviour from a female boss can manifest in various ways, including micromanagement, passive-aggressive communication, favouritism, exclusion from key opportunities, public belittlement and the undermining of contributions.
