Simple question........do you like your boss?

 

My boss preaches that we are a family, we are a team, however, he has zero sense of how working as a team even entails........my co-workers are not my family; they aren't even my friends (i have enough family and friends in my life).

 

He's the type of guy who thinks he's the smartest one in the room and the type of guy who expects people to just sit in the corner and shut the hell up, while he's busy being a blowhard and building himself up with all of his self praises.......sort of like the 50's style type dad, where you only speak when you're spoken to and you better tell him what he wants to hear, whether the truth or not.

 

Understaffed and pushing everyone hard, so he can get his bonus............ugh

 

He kind of reminds me of this guy

 

 

Do we work for the same company? 😂

I know I’m in the minority, but yep! We work very well together and he’s a great guy on top of that. Only been in this current job for a year and a half and for previous 17 this was not always the case, so very much enjoying it!

Well?

 

I'm a PITA so any boss that leaves me alone for the most part is a good boss. My current boss leaves me alone for the most part as long as the housekeeping stuff is in order (paperwork, documentation, the like). He was perceptive enough to know that I only pretend to be type B but I'm actually highly type A and bristle at any hint of micromanagement.

My current boss is freaking brilliant and is very intense - that said, she's alright. This is especially true in light if some of the complete a-holes I've had as bosses in the past.

 

Side note: i HATE when leaders talk about work being a family! it is nothing of the sort.  You are a chess piece, and as soon as someone figures out out to stuff their pockets by making you disappear, that is exactly what will happen.

Think I did the math in another post, unless I'm mistaken (definitely a possibility) you're either pushing 70 or it's in the rear-view mirror. Retire already. I highly recommend it!

Way to out yourself, Coach. We get it. You don’t like Brandon Beane.

My supervisor changes every few months. I always tell them when first meet I hate being micromanaged and usually leads to good things. My current sup gets it and when we have to meet we look over my numbers and he says "I'll write up the report and you know what needs to be done and we leave it at that". In our last team meeting we even talked about good sushi places to waste some of the time.

Hell NO!

 

 

These guys hate my boss too!

You still have not answered the question…. Good boss or bad boss?
