Yea, it would not make much sense if you give up on the job and you have not gotten a replacement, just endure until you have been able to secure a good place. Once you have secure one, you can leave that toxic boss

There are actually some situation where a boss can be toxic. At times it is not really the fault of the boss but because of the attitude of the worker(s). But if it is from the side of the boss I think the best thing is to do your task diligently. And if it continues, it is advisable to quit if possible.

You have to be very calm and pay attention to the details if it happens that you have a toxic person as a boss. While you are maintaining your frame and prevent outburst you should look for another place to work. Having a toxic boss standing on your neck can affect your motivation and this is not good for you.

You're right about that, especially if the timeframe for your boss to spend on that position is only ephemeral then you just have to endure a little and tolerate his excesses

Changing job in this current reality of unemployment? I guess the latter is the best option. What's is the assurance the new boss will be better than the former? I think most boss are toxic. To study the boss likes and dislikes, every important details about him or her, is the best step to handle any boss whether good or toxic.

Retaliating it getting back with words to your toxic boss whenever he is at it again only fuels the situation. You should always say quite and let him finish all his venting of his anger and talk. But see to it that you say nothing

I can imagine that talking back will lead to exchange of words and more quarreling. So I agree with you that one should just stay quiet and let the boss vent out.

I understand what you are trying to say but the problem is that in most cases, there are some persons even after understanding their boss, they still find it impossible to actually cope with them. In such a case what do you think should be done?

You can't deal with toxic boss, you can only leave their job and find your way out. The best solution is to do your job assign by your boss and leave the rest.
