Toxic Bosses: Worst Managers to Work For
有害的上司：工作中最差劲的经理
Gallup surveys of U.S workers suggest that 20% of employees are dissatisfied with their immediate supervisors. Here are some of the most toxic managers and suggestions for how to deal with them.
Gallup对US工人的调查显示有20%的员工对自己的直属上司不满意。以下列出了一些最差劲的经理，以及怎样应付他们的建议：
1. The Control Freak 控制狂
This type of manager won't let anything happen without her approval, no matter how small. This micromanager is never satisfied until she's put her own stamp on whatever you do. The Control Freak struggles with task delegation.
即使是非常小的事情，这种类型的经理都决不允许在没有她的批准下发生。除非你做什么时候她都亲自过问，否则这种控制狂经理是不会满足的。控制狂一般都不会分权。
How to cope: If you're being micromanaged, don't take it personally. To satisfy this type of manager, anticipate the information she wants and proactively offer consistent updates. Don't criticize your manager or get defensive. Instead, earn trust by assuring her that you will do your work to her specifications.
应对措施：如果你遭遇了这样的控制狂，不要在意。要想让这类型的经理满意，你要能够预料到她想要的信息，并提前做好更新。不要指责你的经理或是采取自卫的态度。相反，通过向她保证你会按照她允许的方式做事来赢取信任。
2. The MIA Manager
MIA经理
The MIA ("Missing in Action") Manager may work in a different office, constantly travel for work, or just be too busy for any real face time. Although this may seem like the best type of boss to have, it can backfire when you seek career advancement, need some direction, or just find yourself out of the loop.
MIA（不见踪影）的经理可能在不同办公室里办公，经常出差或太忙了没时间露面。也许这种类型的老板看起来是最好的，但是也会有事与愿违的结果，比如在你为了追寻职业发展而需要一些建议的时候却找不到人，或者是你突然发现团队将你排除在外了。
How to cope: Get on his radar with routine calls, emails, and visits. Having established communication paves the way for a stronger work relationship and more visibility. Since this type of manager is not a readily available mentor, look to other supervisors, perhaps outside of your organization, for career advice and guidance.
应对措施：通过定期给他打电话、写邮件或拜访他来提醒他不要忘记你的存在。经常和上司联系才能够让你建立更牢固的工作关系、让自己更加显著。因为这种类型的经理并不是理想的良师益友，所以你要向其他的主管（可能是你团队以外的）讨教职业建议和指导。
