Do you like your boss? If not, why?

Got no issues with mine. I don't supervise anyone in my branch so I'm good to go there.

I'm indifferent as well. She doesn't understand my job, so she tries to micromanage to learn what I do.

And, unfortunately, I have to care if people like me because I can get canned if they start bitching like millenials do.

I like my immediate boss. He's easy to work with and doesn't put undo pressure on. Just cares that you get your work done and is considerate. My boss' boss who I also work with is a little more difficult. He has a habit of throwing projects on you last minute that are fires and need to be done immediately when he could have planned and communicated better. Basically makes things more difficult and stressful than they need to be. But he isn't a bad guy, and he does make a visible effort to make employees feel appreciated.

Imo, a manager shouldn't bend over backwards to appease his employees. Work should get done, and that is the actual primary goal of work, not making friends. However, if you are a good boss then your good employees will appreciate you. If your employees hate you then you are probably a shitty boss or you have shitty employees.

I could not imagine liking a boss more than my current one. He is a legitimate transformational leader. When I was a boss I was indifferent as to if my team liked me. Ideally they did and everyone was happy, but if the social dynamics required me to be a bad guy to get shite done, then I was a bad guy.

I like my immediate supervisors I work with day to day. I have issues with the ones further up the food chain, who work in a bubble at headquarters and does not remember/understand/care what it is like in the real world.

My immediate boss is really cool. As long as I get my shite done and on time, he doesn't care what the hell else I do all day, hence why I am on TD a lot during the day.

I took my current job when an old friend asked me to come work for her. Not only is she a great leader and motivator who is basically beloved by all our staff, but our working relationship has greatly deepened our personal friendship.

Most of the staff respect me, but they don't particularly like or admire me, which I have no problem with.

Boss' boss is a major bitch, can't stand her. Deceitful, plays favorites, unreasonably harsh. Leaders should always remember that workers appreciate harsh feedback when the circumstances warrant it, but if you never celebrate success or only find terrible things to say about mixed results, you will inspire only contempt.

Yes, he's me.

I hate my boss with the burning fire of 1,000 suns. The worst part is that I absolutely loved my job prior to the change in leadership. Work from home, plenty of autonomy to get things done, felt appreciated for my hard work, won award trips to the carribean, etc... Now, managing this person and the ad hoc reporting requests, stop what your doing to over react to a non-emergency, changes in process without clear direction, have all made accomplishing my primary responsibilities infinitely more difficult. This manager has taken the best job that I've had and absolutely demoralized the whole team in the matter of 6 mos.

No.

Dumb and lazy.
