Bosses

I am still on my studies and I did not find any boss in my life. I am on my way to it. I hope I will get a good nice boss with human emotions who loves as well who gives us the freedom to the works and our doings.

hi allknowing I had a boss when I worked in the libary who was bi polare b ut refused to take her meds.So one day she thought we were the vest employees she had ever seen bu t the nect day she was grwoling and we were the worst crew she had ever worked with and nothing we did was right.We learned to stay away from her as much as was possible.then I worked under her second and she was too wishy washy as she wanted everyone to iove her so she never scolded anyone no matter how wrong they were which led to some firings from the bi polar boss.

I find this discussion interesting, as I can plainly see I am from a "different cut of cloth!" No matter the job that I have had in the past, some menial, some high-powered, MANY of them with bosses with idiosynchracies, I ALWAYS remembered at the end of the day...WHOM signed the paycheck!

Have you really had all of these bosses. Sounds like a tv sitcom. Remember Murphy Brown and all her secretaries. Stirring coffee with a pencil.. ewww. Believe it or not, I totally understand the grammar-obsessed boss because, like you, I become obsessed with being perfect... therefore, I am never perfect. But thank goodness nobody is.

My experiences with bosses or immediate heads also vary much. My first superior was a Psychologist who uses obsolete psyche evaluation tools. When I came she got new tools since I was fresh from the university. Then my next boss was a Chinese who believes that their employees would not find better employer than them. They abuse their staff. What I did was I make them depend on me since I was their secretary then when I was able to earn their trust, I left them with no goodbyes. Then my next immediate head was the best because she taught me what I know now. Then when she cannot teach me enough, she encouraged me when I plan to leave the company to grow from outside. Now, I reached the peak of my career. I became a manager... and now a consultant. I have the same attitude, to try to teach my subordinates so that someday, they will become managers or consultants too.

20 years ago i was working as Principal in a rural college, the lab asst of chemistry department had this habit of stirring coffee/tea using pencil, he used the same to remove wax from his ear too, one day i called him explained him how bad habit it was, he begged apology lol. Officially i can't do any thing for this.
