Really? Then why am I the boss then now?

I don't know. You haven't answered any questions. Which was my point.

I have nothing to base my response on besides your semi-literate retort, "Then why am I the boss then now?" Having established a track record of answering questions, unlike the 'boss' to whom I'm replying, I shall endeavor to reply.

Why are you the 'boss then now?' Possibly a blast took out your office and killed all the remaining competent employees. Or perhaps you simply outlived all your coworkers after the Nile virus decimated your company. Or maybe your company's owner passed on, leaving the office to a Teresa Heinz-like harpy who enjoys similar company. It could be that you managed to kidnap the children of the current owner so that he determined it was easier to abdicate ownership than deal with your 'reasonable' comments. It may be that your own poor, long-suffering relative died and you took over yourself. Or it might be that no one else wanted to direct you since every responsibility you were assigned turned somehow into one that only a sexist would delegate. It might even be that your competence at showing up on time to flop Whoppers and hot-grease the fries outshines your regularly late coworkers.

It is hard to respond to questions that pose such interesting possibilities. However, I would reckon the Peter Principle is certainly at work in your office.
