When a bad boss shows up, what matters is whether the company actually does something about it. If your organization holds the manager accountable, provides training, and pushes for improvement, employees notice. That signal that the company cares keeps people around.
There's not a single organization on this planet that hasn't had horrible bosses. The difference is, is it an organization that knows how to handle bad bosses? So, if I'm an employee and I have a bad boss but I see my organization pull that person aside, make them accountable for their bad leadership, train them, work with them to bring them back to be better, I would stay in that organization. Because I know they have the organization and my best interests. They see bad behavior. They address bad behavior. I would love to work for that organization.
