It’s nearly impossible to thrive with a boss who actively undermines your accomplishments, diminishes your self-esteem, and blocks your opportunities.

• In a perfect world, you could pack up and go. But in this economically challenged world, you might not have the financial freedom to leave.
• Here are some things you can do to survive — until you have the resources to leave or decide it is time to go.
• Document your interactions. Take notes when communicating with your boss and keep a record of your conversations.
• Protect your mental health. It’s  helpful to externalize their behavior instead of ruminating on their manipulative tactics.
• Activate your support network. A strong support network is critical when dealing with an emotionally challenging situation.
