Yeah, my manager for 15 years was super cool. He trusted me to get my work done and left me alone. He saved my ass in many a RIF, as he knew I would handle whatever he tossed my way.

Nope...... Pretty much all jackasses.

My current boss is new in the position so the jury is still out. Right now I dislike him because I was up for that job and he got it. He may be alright. Time will tell.

Cool. That shows he trusted, appreciated and valued you. That's what most people want from a boss.

I see mine no more than 2 times a week. No micromanagement and plenty of space to allow us to get the job done.

Direct opposite of my last boss. Micromanaged to the minute. He had to have things done exactly his way, whether he knew what he was doing or not, so he could tell his boss things were done because he told me to do them. It was insane. I hated every minute, but had to keep that job as long as I could. Being laid off sucks, even though it was inevitable, but in a way it was a relief.

Reminds me of my last boss. He was so anal retentive about everything yet when I would ask him a question about something he would shrug his shoulders, smile and walk away. He would also constantly complain that he wasn't making any profit. Then would turn around and buy two new cars (on top of the two he already had), a half a million dollar home(while still owning two others) and put his three children through university. Not making any profit my ass. I don't care what people spend there money on but don't go spending what you do have and then complaining that you are broke. Then hoping your employees are going to bail you out by working 50+ hours a week for just above minimum wage. I was eventually laid of for speaking my mind too much. I agree it does suck but it was a huge relief and the severance cheque was pretty sweet.
