Hello,
my ex bosses cousin has a degree in computer networking and cybersecurity. I have reason to believe he got access to my MAC and as I had my passwords on my work computer he had my password. How much harm can he do if I change my passwords? My ex boss was a creep and had already admin rights to my work computer.

What do you mean you had your passwords on your work computer?
As for you ex boss having admin rights to your work computer, that's right. It belongs to the company and everything on it belongs to the company. You should NEVER, EVER store ANYTHING personal on a computer owned by your employer.
If you had a file with passwords for your personal systems and accounts stored on your work computer, you need to change ALL of them. Now.
If your work computer was set up as trusted for 2nd factor authentication or your work email account was set up as trusted, you need to change that on all of your accounts. Now.
Yes all of what you said is correct.There was other stuff he did in 1:1 meetings. I reported some of these issues before I left. He started cutting down my reputation and discrediting me behind my back. I did not realise this for awhile. So as a female reporting to the police towards a charming higher manager. It will just fall on deaf ears or I will be labelled as crazy. All I can do is clear my computer. Is there a way of finding if there is software on my Mac, that would be my only evidence.

I have to assume from this quote that you are somewhere other than North America, the UK, Australia and similar jurisdictions? Unfortunately I can't even make suggestions that would account for local cultural biases like that .
Yes I was not expecting this to happen. We had the back door open for our dog. Just checking if someone can download software on a MAC as malware.
So.... not really great watch dogs? ;-)
No a small little friendly dog.
How can I tell if my Mac has been hacked?
