Narcissism in the Workplace

How Narcissistic Bosses and Colleagues Make Us Sick

The Narcissism Analysis Series · Volume 8

Sanja Panea

You are not too sensitive for this workplace. This workplace is too sick for you.

Sunday evening, and the dread is already there. A boss whose mood decides your week. A colleague who smiles in the meeting and undermines you afterward. Praise that turns into humiliation, tasks that appear and vanish, a department in which everyone senses what is going on and no one says it. Narcissism in the workplace rarely shouts. It devalues, co-opts, splits, and distorts – until a high performer starts doubting everything, including themselves.

In eighteen chapters, Sanja Panea shows how narcissistic bosses, colleagues, and entire organizations work, why the system holds you, and what it does to your health and your self-worth – and how you protect yourself: naming the pattern, documenting, communicating factually and unassailably, setting boundaries, finding allies and support. And how you decide what comes next: staying with a strategy, changing jobs without fleeing, and recovering so that you recognize a healthy workplace when you see one. Includes a 25-point self-assessment, exercises, and case examples in every chapter.

Your work belongs to your life – not the other way around.
