The list assumes bosses have a brain. The vast majority of “managers” haven’t a clue what needs to be done, just that someone told them to do it.
“Boss” can mean a lot of things. It might mean the owner of a small business, a manager, supervisor or even lead worker or foreman. Not all of these people will have the same priorities or agendas. But if you work at a place that has a strict chain of command, DO NOT inadvertantly go over somebody’s head or you will never live it down. In some casual small businesses , you can ask whoever is handy the answer to a question or problem and its OK. In others, this is one of the worst sins you can commit if you haven’t followed the chain of command.
