No kidding. My wife’s boss makes the two of them share a hotel room when they go on business trips.

He doesnt think you're a sanitary guy so he uses the most sanitary gesture.

I have been working with this company for a year now and he still fist bumps. I don't know if this is because I was hired not long after college and he is trying to be "hip" with a younger associate. He does this in front of clients and in meetings, its embarrassing as frick. My first day at this job I accidently grabbed his fist bump because I was fully expecting a normal hand shake like any sane person would. Does anybody else's boss do this?
He doesn't respect you, dog.

Sorry.

Who cares? People are too worried about acting professional. Just be a person. Go with the culture and stop worrying about meaningless shite.

A fist bump isn't so bad.

This is what they do at my work:

Put your hand on top his fist next time and say “paper covers rock.”

The problem is you.

I wish everyone bumped fists instead of shaking hands.. if something is going around- and something is ALWAYS going around— there’s no easier way to transmit it than shaking hands.. kinda wouldnt mind having your boss.

Don't be a child.

Him fist bumping is a non-issue.....relax those college-based, idealistic visions of the professional world.

I originally read this as "fist PUMPS", and I was picturing some douchey older gentleman trying to be hip and acting like he was in a club all the time.

That would indeed be terrible.

A fist bump though? I don't mind that, it's a more casual way of saying hi or bye with someone you see frequently instead of having to greet with a handshake every time you see them.
