PAST OR PRESENT BOSSES

[Duchess]

Do you like your boss? Ever had a sucky one?

When I was about 22, I worked at a TGIF as a hostess. I was training to become a server. I had a boss that hit on me one night at a bar. After I turned him down, he refused to make a server. He told me that there was no more room in the training class.

I quit shortly thereafter.

I have the best boss ever!!! Knowing him outside of work for 25 yrs doesn't hurt either.

I had one who was a bit of a bitch. We shared an office. She complained w=one day I was taking "too many breaks". Here is what I was doing..it was a heavy paperwork day. End of month and all. So, in the middle of it all I stopped once, just to look away from the paper work for about 15 seconds to rest my eyes, then went back to work. I got up once to use the bathroom, and then again later to get a soday from the office fridge and return to my desk. Combined totall of all three "breaks" about 10 minutes. This is all over the course of my work day as I ate at my desk that day. But I took too many breaks.

OK, fine.

One of the finest men I had the privilege of working for taught me to focus on the solution, NOT the blame or the problem.

There was always time for a post mortem after providing a solution.

Also . . .

He stressed identifying the key issues. Too much energy is devoted to chasing the peripheral chatter . . . always stick with the key issues.

I had a boss whose name was...get this...Mr. Butt. No joke. Guy was a muslim pervert, his own country wouldn't allow him back in and he was always looking down my blouse. The last boss I had before this one used to keep a gun in his office and shoot woodchucks in the field across from the parking lot from the window next to his desk. The boss I have now is a political zealot who reminds me tremendously of White Goodman from Dodgeball. He's a micromanager on the highest order, but we're friends, for the most part.
