There’s two sides to many coins.

I had a boss who made me feel almost all of those things.

Now I have a new boss.

That means you’re probably irreplaceable.

Even that has a downside. It means you can’t be promoted!

I think the signs are too broad. Everyone has at least three of these.

I don't have any of them.

Of course, this is my dream job in 30+ years of working life . . . .

Are you the Boss?

The best job I ever had was where I had complete autonomy

None of those, but I did actually collect 2 unemployment checks a while back. I got a total of $236 dollars because of the three weeks it took me to find a job after I got out of the Army.

No, I’m most definitely not the Boss, but my boss is a prince. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever worked for — and I’ve had some pretty good bosses over the years. I’ve also had some hellacious rotten ones, but I usually managed to lateral myself out of there. . . .

#9 ... you extol the virtues of fuel injection, but your boss keeps on harping back to the days of carburation and manual choke

That happened to me. When they promoted this wet-behind-the-ears, 20 year old who I trained, I said sayonara.

Let him have the job. My former coworkers say he stinks at it without me there to "help." So guess who was really doing the heavy work.

I am not sorry I left.

Why certainly... That’s the better way of corporate management now. Personal social desires are much more important than company profits.

I’d love for you to be able to see it, but I’m gonna be needing you to go ahead and come on in tomorrow at about eight o’clock to finish up the TPS reports.
