🎙️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Quiet Power: “You Can’t Turn a Donkey Into a Horse” (Toxic Boss Survival Strategy)

If you’ve ever worked for a toxic boss, horrible manager, micromanager, or incompetent leader, you already know the pain:

You try harder.
You explain more.
You stay respectful.
You “manage up.”

And nothing changes.

Because here’s the truth:
✅ You can’t fix bad leadership.
✅ You can’t train character into someone who has none.
✅ You can’t turn a donkey into a horse.

In this episode of The Grind Hotline, we break down the real psychology of bad managers, why toxic bosses don’t change, why they sabotage strong employees, and how professionals can protect their careers during return to office pressure (RTO), restructuring, and the ongoing Layoffs 2025–2026 environment.

This is not motivational content.
This is corporate survival strategy.

Quiet Power teaches one core rule:
Stop trying to improve bad bosses. Start protecting your career.
