The first type of boss you might encounter is the 'mercenary', who Michelle said you will struggle with.
'With little to no awareness of their impact on others and caring primarily only about themselves, this boss operates in a bubble,' she said.
They often see themselves as 'all powerful' and the 'smartest person in the room', and for this reason they have 'little interest in other people or improving' because they already think they have things nailed.
Michelle highlighted that this type of boss is 'exceptionally challenging' to work for because while you need to keep your head down, do the work and stay out of the firing line, you also need to not 'come across as weak'.
