I got into an arguament on monday morning with my boss and was told to take this week off, call him on friday to find out whether or not I still have a job there [am looking for a new job this week]. If I leave, I will be the seventh person in three months to leave due to the boss.
I'm gonna have to vote bad. I'd say really bad, but I've had one a LOT worse. |

can't complain about my boss at my site. He lets us do what we want as long as the work is done. lunch breaks if you go with him to the pub can be all day, time off isn't an issue and yeah he is pretty cool.

My boss is easy going and helpful, and understands if you need a day off when you need it. Very happy to allow for flexible hours and all that stuff when req'd........salary is out of his hands so I won't hold it against 'em
 :I voted Good.

I voted "Really Good" as there was no "The Best" option.
My boss is a little Fijian lady who is all class, has a wicked sense of humour, is compassinate, fair, understanding and basically the best boss I've ever had. I cant praise her enough.

I work in a team environment, and my boss changes every so often. All are good to excellent. Working in a 24-7 environment, you get to see a variety of sides of people...

I get along with my boss although he can be a bit of a stiff sometimes. Most of my other colleagues always bitch about him though, but they think they shouldn't have to work at all...
But being a supervisor under him, I reckon I'm the best boss LOL!

My boss is sometimes good, but mostly bad, I think she's going thru 'the change of life' so some days its just horrible in the office, the days when the office is at its most productive & cheery is when she's not here, which lately has been more often than not

I just got rid of one of the worst bosses I've had. Absolute jerk. Some of you may remember in another thread where I had an argument with him, slammed the door to his office as I stormed out, and he was locked in for 40 minutes.
The new store manager is pretty easy going, and he gets in and works with us. Plus he's a Ford fan, so we get along really well.

My Bosses are really good to me although some of the other staff don't really think they're that great.

Very bad. He is a hypocrite, he NEVER EVER looks out for any of us "below" him in the chain of command, he only ever watches his own ****, never ever provides any positive comment or encouragement, never attempts to make things easier or more efficient for us, never acknowledges hard or exceptional work, and is very quick to critisize and lay blame. His philosophy is simple - nobody is ever good enough, nobody deserves anything more than what they are given, and all problems are somebody elses fault.
All in all, a ****weak individual and a breathtakingly bad boss! Picture a great boss, then think of the direct opposite, and you'll have him.

Friggin hell, I am such a ditz! I didn't see the option of being the boss, and clicked "other" lol
I own my own business so I am my own boss, not that I am working atm, just being a lazy slacker and trying to get enough money together to start it at home (instead of being a subcontractor). I am desperate for Mission Brown to come back into fashion as a house colour, then I won't be so embarrassed for people to walk down the driveway! As for the rest of the house... well, there are some major issues and I think it's time for a bomb to go off so we can start again lol

My boss is great, lets me decide my shifts based on uni timetable, lets me bring music dvd's into the liquor store to watch while I work and tomorrow I am picking up a Grolsch hamper that no one has claimed. So yeh, I am on a pretty good wicket.
