How are you as a boss?

My sister and I are opposites. She's ill-tempered. Easily gets mad with every little mistake the employees make. She's generous and kind when she's in a good mood though. She's a really tough boss to deal with. I, on the other hand, is the funny boss. I make them laugh to ease up the tension. Bring up their mistakes in a jest but correct them right away. I don't shout at them. They know me as the soft and kind hearted one. So whenever I'm at work, they feel a bit relieved.My sister is the better boss, I just balance things out when she's too tough.

That's true sometimes unless there are too many jobs to be done it couldn't be handled by just a pair of hands. That's why we have many people working for us. And new ones are added frequently.

You are a good boss. Your sister is a kind of boss who is in mood disorder.

I think i like the laughter idea. I'm very organized and so i think I would be good as boss in that way. I wouldn't want to be one though. Too much responsibility.

Your sister sounds like my husband, very strict and ill-tempered but also generous. He is a tough boss. I could never be a boss.

@LadyDuck My parents never worked in the same business together and so was I. I just don't think it would work for us that way.

My mom was a tough one as well. My dad was like me. But they didn' manage the same business. My dad had his own and so did my mom.

My husband was a boss who ruled firmly and kindly. I think a boss has to be both

You are a good person. I'm sure they a happy to have such a kind boss like you. Nowadays bosses are always very strict with workers even mine

I am strict as well but I don't shout at my staff at all and I try to understand them. Nobody's perfect. But when I know I cannot trust one employee, I don't say anything, I just get rid of them.

She sounds like she has a genuine mood disorder, do you think? I am so glad you are there to calm things down.

I was a good boss; but my employees pretended to be my friends when they were not.

That sucks. I don't like those who pretend to be my friends when they aren't.
