About This Podcast
Bad Bosses: The Podcast is a candid conversation series hosted by Joe Carfi that explores the real impact leadership has on people, teams, careers, and everyday life.
Through personal stories, workplace experiences, and honest conversations with guests, Joe breaks down what separates a bad boss from a good leader. From micromanagement and ego-driven decision-making to lack of empathy, poor communication, and toxic workplace culture, each episode looks at the behaviors that damage trust and morale, while also highlighting the lessons that can help people lead better.
This podcast is not just about calling out bad bosses. It is about learning from them.
With humor, reflection, and decades of professional experience, Joe and his guests discuss what employees need from leaders today: trust, accountability, compassion, clear expectations, and the ability to see people as people. Whether you are managing a team, working under a difficult boss, or trying to become a better leader yourself, Bad Bosses offers honest insight into what leadership should and should not be.
