Sometimes it happens that work no longer brings satisfaction, and every meeting with the boss turns into a trial. And if it's not just your fatigue, it's worth understanding whether it's necessary to continue working where you feel bad. Perhaps the problem lies with your leadership.
What signs indicate a boss who doesn't respect you, according to Hack Spirit.
Your boss doesn't respect your right to rest. Sometimes, a manager may demand that their subordinate work even on their day off. If your boss allows themselves to bother you even when you're on vacation or sick leave, or simply makes it so that you have no time for relaxation, it's worth considering resigning and looking for other job opportunities.
Your boss doesn't value you. If you work diligently and conscientiously complete all tasks, but your manager doesn't pay attention to it or takes it for granted, they simply don't respect you. It's time to gain self-respect and recognize that you deserve better.

Your boss controls you as if you were a child. If you are constantly working within rigid boundaries and have no opportunity to do things independently, it's not about a good job. You shouldn't wait for a command from the boss; in any position, a person has the right to their own thoughts and respect.
The boss is constantly looking for reasons to scold you. Sometimes people encounter bosses who seem not to want to work because their main goal is to find a small flaw and criticize you publicly. Manipulation, disrespect, and total mistrust - if your boss treats you this way, it's unlikely that they value you, so why stay?

The boss gossips about you with others. If the boss starts making up nonsense about you and mocks you behind your back, it indicates their unseriousness and very childish behavior. Such a leader is unlikely to help you become successful; instead, they will drag you down with drama and gossip.
Your boss steals your ideas. While it's normal to come up with incredible things together, when a manager appropriates other people's ideas and forgets who generated a great plan, it's not a good sign. Such a boss won't share rewards with you and will try to take credit for your work.

The boss allows themselves to yell at you and use offensive language. Even if the boss is very angry, they have no right to insult you. It's not worth tolerating emotional abuse and pretending it's normal. You should escape from such managers as quickly as possible.
Your boss refuses to admit fault. If you decide to openly discuss problems with the boss, but they continue to manipulate and avoid acknowledging their mistakes, nothing will change. Consider whether you want to continue working in such conditions.
