Well if you too share the same feelings about your boss, c’mon join in!

A recent study by Florida State Univ. professors found that
2 out of 5 bosses don’t keep their word, and
more than a fourth bad mouth those they supervise to co-workers
.

The findings include:

  • 39 percent of workers said their supervisor failed to keep promises.
  • 37 percent said their supervisor failed to give credit when due.
  • 31 percent said their supervisor gave them the “silent treatment” in the past year.
  • 27 percent said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers.
  • 24 percent said their supervisor invaded their privacy.
  • 23 percent said their supervisor blamed others to cover up mistakes or to minimize embarrassment.

By the way, there are 6 types of bosses –
Credit stealer, Insensitive, Tyrant, Criticizer, Micro Manager and, of course – all purpose Asshole!!

Which one do you have?

And what should you do with such bosses? Well, don’t be a chicken - Bitch about them. Tell others what you think of them – that’s the least that you could do about those pain in the a** creatures!!
All the best!
