Do you ever think you can do a much better job than your boss?

at times yes. but there are some that are really fit to be a boss. some are there just because they are lucky.

Unfortunately that happens so much. Especially when you have a new owner. Lots of people will buy a business because they think it will be an easy investiment for them. They think it's easy cash flow, but it might not be a business where they have any background in. That is sad. I've been that situation time and time again. Sometimes managers will go quickly, so I don't worry about it, but if it's a new owner, they'll probably stick around for awhile. Good luck!

Hey buddy watch out, here comes the diplomacy into play. Better not let your boss get this opinions of yours. even if you know better let him play by his on rules and very soon he would have dug up his own grave.

It's like my brother (who owns an auto parts store) says to his employees, "I'm willing to listen to any suggestion, but if you want to make the decisions, buy your own store."

i think my boss is pretty intelligent, he's a very smart guy. always alert and always know what he's doing and i could never top that. but the CEO of my company? haha. he's lousy, i wish someone else with better credibility would take over!

I have worked in many places where I would have been more capable than the person supervising me. In fact, when I was working at a grocery store, I kept asking for the position of floor supervisor but they turned me down because of my full-time work schedule. They would have considered it if I would have been able to get there earlier but that wasn't an option. I was often telling the floor supervisor how to do their job because I had observed the actions that they didn't know how to perform, but it didn't matter. All they cared about was being in charge.

They had the discussion on the radio yesterday morning...supposedly 73% of all people think they are smarter than their boss! I have worked in a lot of places. Most of the time I had to train my managers how to do things. Right now though I am my own boss...that is much better!
