my boss is a puss. Always offering extra vacation to manipulate employees to do his bidding. It's always the same 2 suckazzes though.

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.

The last boss I had was decent as far making the company money. She took our department into the 21st century. The one big thing I hated about her was that she promoted gossip and backstabbing. Didn't matter if you were a good employee or not. She even let the big gossip/backstabber (women) of the office move in with her. Big time unprofessional. She played a lot of people like puppets. She would backstab people and if you agreed she would run and tell that person that you were talking bad about them. It was a pretty fricked up situation. Glad I am not in that shitstorm anymore!

My contractor boss is a yes man. That likely is his major character flaw. He stays out of my way and never seems to bother me so that's a good thing. My NASA boss is quiet and I hardly ever hear from him, until it's status report time. But I have worked for some guys who wanted to be "in your kitchen" and that's just annoying.

Best "boss" I ever had, hands down was when I was working CCTT at Camp Beauregard. Bill K was the BEST guy to work for. Retired Army Aviator and he knew how to motivate people and get the most from them. One time I dropped a socket down in the well of the Bradley simulator and there was only one way to get it...I lowered Bill by holding onto his feet and he shimmied down and got the socket...we only had one....He even asked that we "PT" on Fridays we weren't training. That included any kind of physical activity..even playing golf. Best job ever until corporate got involved and screwed things up.

My boss pisses me off to no end. He's not a great boss to be honest.

That being said, he treats me like a co-worker and/or son 90% of the time and is a great man who i respect.

My boss and supervisor turn into dicks when the pressure gets to them at the office, but outside of work they are just like one of the guys. We talk sports and both are in my fantasy football league.

You're a douche if you 'yell at' anyone at work.

To the OP, my boss is one of my good friends and yes I like her.

I had a boss that I loved the first two years of my job. She was laid back, left me alone and let me do my work, and let me take off pretty much any time I wanted as long as I had the time. Then she retired...


New boss started yesterday and she, wants us to sign in and out at her office to "keep up" with everyone, give TEN days notice for time off and have bi-weekly meetings one on one.

Yeah, he's cool as shite. Probably one of my best friends now. He used to race Ducati bikes before he went into engineering. He's got a hot wife and still pulls a lot of arse. We have that in common.

He is very smart, does great work, and I have learned a lot from him.

He has absolutely no personality whatsoever.

He's very technically proficient, but he's not a good leader. As such, it's held our company back. Been painful to watch.
