The Worst Behaviors of Bad Bosses, Ranked

There are many different ways to be a good boss, but if your goal is to be a bad boss, it’s pretty clear what you have to do.

Taking credit for their underlings’ work is the worst of all bad-boss behaviors, according to a new survey of more than 1,200 full-time U.S. workers, conducted by software company BambooHR. When asked to rank a list of odious managerial tendencies, 63 percent of respondents said hogging credit was unacceptable, or something they would consider worth quitting over.

Women were particularly offended by bosses wrongly taking credit—71 percent called it the worst behavior—and the habit seems more noxious the older you are. Workers over 60 were much more likely (77 percent) to find it offensive than workers under 30 (57 percent).

Other common behaviors are much more tolerable. More than half say its fine if their bosses don’t socialize with them out of work, and 64 percent say it’s ok if their bosses don’t friend them on social media.

Here’s BambooHR’s ranking of the 10 worst behaviors:
