Yes, you can share stories under a first name or pseudonym. To be eligible for the holiday prize, a winner needs to be contactable to share their story. Any entrant can opt out of follow-up if you'd prefer.
We’re not talking about the boss who once ate your lunch. We’re spotlighting behaviours that are toxic, manipulative, negligent or just plain absurd — the kind that break trust, morale and team culture.
It’s a free tool from Compono that helps you discover your style at work — including how you handle conflict, lead teams and collaborate. It’s fast, insightful, and built on real people science.
Nope. This campaign is about accountability and growth. Many bad bosses don’t even realise the impact they’re having. We want to shine a light — not just throw shade.
We’ve built a leadership program — the Executive Lab — for exactly that. It helps execs understand the culture they’re creating and gives them tools to improve it.
Because we care about culture. Because we believe in better work. And because sometimes, the best way to spark change is with a little humour and a lot of honesty.
Ready to blow the whistle on bad bosses?
It only takes a few minutes to submit your story — and you could walk away with a $5,000 holiday and a career glow-up.
