Manipulative people have an arsenal of tactics they will use against you. Blame-Shifting is one of the big ones. When it is used by a boss or co-worker, it can create a toxic environment quickly, one that, if the manipulator isn’t stopped, will only get worse.
In order to combat the blame-shifters tactic, we will shine the light on the many forms of shifting blame (some, may surprise you) and what you can do about it when they try these tactics on YOU.
What you’ll hear on today’s episode:
- What is Blame-Shifting
- The Manipulative tactics in action
- How a victim might be shifting the blame on you
- Why minimizing you is on the menu
- How quickly a toxic workplace can be created
