Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! 🎙️💯

Ever worked with someone who isn’t the manager but sure acts like it? In this episode, Big Slick breaks down exactly how to handle a coworker who behaves like your boss—the loud talker, the constant corrector, the self-appointed leader who tries to run the room without the title. This is workplace drama 101, and we’re giving you real, practical strategies to protect your peace and your paycheck.

We dive into why some coworkers act this way—attention-seeking behavior, insecurity, proximity to actual leadership—and how they use fake authority to control the environment. You’ll learn how to respond without snapping, how to set boundaries that stick, and how to stop feeding the behavior that drains you daily.

Then we get tactical: simple scripts to shut down interruptions, how to document patterns, when to escalate issues to real management, and why staying calm gives you more power than clapping back. We also talk about the difference between true leadership and performative “wannabe boss” energy—and how to rise above it with professionalism that gets noticed for the right reasons.

If you’re dealing with a toxic coworker, a fake manager, or someone who constantly oversteps, this episode will give you clear steps to take back control, keep your focus, and protect your job.
