re: Do you like your boss? If not, why?

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.
