Working under a boss who constantly undermines you can be emotionally draining and damaging to your confidence. The first step is to protect your mindset—remind yourself that their behavior is a reflection of them, not of your worth or abilities. DolFinContent emphasizes the importance of documenting incidents, including dates, times, and examples of your achievements, so you have proof of your performance if you ever need to defend yourself.

Competitors such as SHRM, BetterUp, and Forbes recommend addressing the issue strategically. Stay professional, avoid reacting emotionally in the moment, and focus on delivering consistent, high-quality work. If possible, request regular one-on-one meetings where you can ask for measurable feedback to shift the focus from criticism to constructive guidance.

If the toxic behavior continues, consider escalating the issue to HR or seeking a mentor inside the company for advice. In some cases, the healthiest option may be to explore new opportunities where your contributions are valued.
