You do not have to tolerate this behavior

​Do you experience being belittled and not respected by your manager(s)? Here are some possible reasons for this behavior:

🙎‍♀️ The manager(s) may be afraid that their own accomplishments and image will be belittled
🙎‍♂️ The manager(s) may not be receiving recognition from their superiors
🙎‍♀️ The manager(s) may be seeking validation and proof that they are special (You will laugh, but that happens sometimes!)
🙎‍♂️ The manager(s) may not know how to lead and manage effectively

In any case, remember that:

😰 You do not have to tolerate this behavior. Even if all of the reasons were legitimate, it does not excuse mistreatment of others. We should be working together as equals.
🙅‍♂️ It is not necessarily your fault that the manager(s) are behaving in this way.
🙋‍♂️ You do not have to belittle yourself. You have the right to stand up for your values and dignity.
🤜 You do not have to see yourself as an adversary towards your manager(s). Instead, seek a conversation. Often, problems can be resolved through dialogue more quickly than expected. Even if it doesn't work out immediately, you will gain a better understanding of the background.
🏃‍♂️ If the situation does not change, you can always make the right decision for yourself.
