People quit bad bosses more often than bad jobs.
I hear that alot. I'd counter that a lot of people leave marginal jobs with marginal bosses more than bad/bad or good/bad.
If you're neither hot nor cold about a job or boss - it's easy to move on.
Good points. All of them.
I didn't hate working in tough jobs. I got a lot of personal satisfaction completing a tough assignment and doing it well. What I detested was a tyrant who didn't know the job and expected the impossible and held me responsible for their lack of planning, knowledge, or leadership.
Agreed. Or leaders that never could admit someone else had a good idea. Or that their perspective doesn't match reality.
I also generally distrust leaders who consistently get things wrong within the industry. One of the positives (and negatives) of LinkedIn - you can see what people think about the industry and current events in it - not specific to your company/role.
When I see things there that are so 180 degrees opposite of the reality on the ground - might be a great boss but I question why I'd hitch my career wagon to his leadership tractor.
