A Healthy Workplace

Monday mornings are always tough for Lihle Manzi*, a 32-year-old senior developer. Walking into the office, she often has no idea of the kind of day to anticipate because her boss’s moods are erratic. When it’s a bad day, there’ll be screaming, shouting, threatening of firing and public declarations of incompetency. “He once kicked three of us out of the office,” she recalls. “But, in his fury hadn’t explained if it was for the whole day or just a couple of hours. We were terrified. So, we sat in the cafeteria until home time in case he changed his mind and wanted us to work the rest of the day.”

Her department has high attrition because of its head, Manzi says. Currently desperately looking for another job, she’s worried that the current economic state in the country may make it difficult.

Though it is a tough and unfair situation to be in, life and career coach Slindokuhle Chuene says it is possible to make it more bearable; and perhaps one day, even more positive.
