A toxic boss will never put their instructions to you in writing. Here's why: 1. They can deny or shift responsibility if things go wrong. 2. It’s harder to understand and meet their expectations. 3. You’re left unsure about what’s expected of you. 4. They can pressure you into decisions without proof. 5. They can cover up poor management or unethical behaviour with no paper trail. This behaviour is a massive red flag and sets you up for failure. My advice? Always get it in writing.

一个toxic manager不仅仅是平时的指令不留下email和书面证据，在每年的performance review的时候，toxic manager都会故意在review里留下你做的不够满意的事例作为将来的证据。
