And of all of the signs of a toxic manager I find this is the one that has had the
highest impact (влияние) on my clients. And the people that I've worked with
the fourth sign of a toxic manager is they refuse (отказываются) to
acknowledge (признавать) your accomplishments (достижения). Now, I
touched on (немного упомянула) this a little bit when we talked about
criticism, but a toxic boss or toxic manager is not going to be able to
acknowledge anything that you have done well, this not only is going to be
something that can have a very high impact (влияние) on your confidence
(уверенность). But this is also going to have a direct impact in your
compensation and your opportunity to advance (возможность
прогресса/роста) in your work. Because if they refuse to acknowledge the
great things that you're doing, that is going to show up (будет видно) on things
like your performance review (отчёт о работе), and if you're applying for a
job internally (в своей компании). This is even something that could actually
impact you. Plus, let's just be really honest here. Most people, at least (хотя
бы) occasionally (иногда) need a little bit of external validation (внешней
экспертизы) to let them know that they're doing good things. After all, if we
don't know the things that we're doing at work that are going really, really well
that are making an actual mark for our company (оставить след в
компании), and for our team, it's going to inhibit (препятствовать) our ability
to actually focus there and do more of those things to amplify (увеличивают)
our awesomeness (крутость) to make a bigger impact overall (в целом). So
really, this toxic manager behavior is hurting everyone (мешает всем),
including your toxic boss themselves. And as if they wouldn't be bad enough,
if they just did those things. They're not going to leave it there (не
остановятся там). No, no, your toxic manager is going to just don't waste the
knife while they're at it (не упустят возможность, пока она у них есть).
