Earlier this month. "We may not always understand why we feel negative about our workplace but by defining your values it will become much more clear."

If you disagree with your boss on a moral basis, it is probably time to leave your job. Garrett suggested that if the problem isn't as serious, such as a communication problem, you may be able find a solution to your frustrated manager.

Her first step is to identify the "variety" of factors that define your relationship and use that information in order to formulate a plan of actions.

What are their needs?" What are their motives? What are you needs? What are your motives? What are the differences? How can they work together? Garrett asked, "Are there any ways you two can compromise?"

Garrett explained that if your boss is flexible, and wants you to succeed -- their toxic behavior will show in other ways -- he or she may be more willing to reach an agreement. If they are set in their ways, then you will have to change your communication style so that it matches theirs.

You might find that they are not receptive if you talk to them about your emotions. You might have more success if you present your argument with data and research.

Many bosses are motivated by money. Garrett said that they are all about KPIs and metrics.

Garrett is speaking from experience. She said that when she was working for an international company, her boss would hold "2 am conference calls which would last for 2 and a half hour" then give her a lot of work to do afterward.

She added, "I tried to talk with this person but they were very aggressive. They took advantage of my youth and didn't understand better."

Direct confrontation is not the best option. 69% of leaders in the workplace already admit that they are uncomfortable with communicating with their staff.
