How to Succeed Despite Your Bad Boss

A supervisor who routinely acts unprofessionally can make life miserable for a conscientious employee. In a survey of 1,000 adults earlier this year, 17% of respondents said that a boss taking credit for their work was the primary reason they left a job, according to human resources firm Bamboo HR. And fully 44% cited a bad boss as the rationale for leaving at least one job.

After stealing credit for your work, here are the next four unacceptable behaviors per the survey, the full set of which Bamboo HR refers to as the "Bad Boss Index." Do any of these by chance describe your own boss?

If you're working for someone who exhibits these and/or other unprofessional behaviors, don't let it become a long-term detriment to your career. Below are five brief pointers that can help you cope and make key decisions about working under a less-than-desirable supervisor.
