My Boss and I

Hello James KYTan, What an interesting concept between you and your boss. As for me, where ever I worked, I am always right. If I am wrong, refer to number ONE! That explains why I am not in the workforce for long. I am now 'working' as a mother and wife at home, so the rule still applies. But somehow, being a mother, I always learn new things everyday. So I can safely say I am no longer always right. But as a wife, YES, I am always right!

Yes boss! You are right. This rule rules in almost every company in every part of the world. I have heard about such rules even from my friends too. Luckily for me,I was able to throw this rule out of the window on the very first day of my employment. From the very first day I and my boss hit it off like a house on fire. I was in college when I took up my first job as a part-time clerk. By the time I finished my college, I had become a sort of mini boss to my sub-ordinates. I had become the manager of the company. My company started making profits in crores which was a rare till then. I was getting offers from other competitors with a blank paycheque, the figure was left for me to fill in. I used to return it with a smile saying you can't afford me. In two years time even the boss started singing my tunes. This did bring out little resentment in the boss's family. Once they did manage to influence him to question my integrity. I thundered back saying the only difference between the boss and me was the table that lay between us. Any decision taken by either of us was always ment to be in the best interest of the company. The silence that followed was resounding. Next day my boss apologized. That was the first and last confrontation we ever had. After two years my boss expired and I left my company for good. After that I became my own boss.

wow, you should work for me then.. you did great, if you can keep it that way. I never and ever think about this matter at all if you dont remind me. I think most of the bosses will like to have you as an employee, include myself

My dear james this is not only about your boss, but in 99% of the boss's case this is right. I never been in a argument with my boss. If i do, it will be my last working day in my current job.

So true! I guess it's a fine line between giving in to your boss because you believe she/he is right and giving in to your boss because you might get into trouble otherwise! I have worked as a boss in the past and I must admit, it was not always easy to give in/agree to what a colleague had to say, especially when it contrasted with my point of view. But, I found that when I was fair in my dealings, people sensed that and respected me for it. I also found that I could 'agree to disagree' and retain my dignity in the process.

Bosses and the subordinates usually have the bullying kind of situations in a private firm.The head try to be the superior of all and makes the juniors do all the tough jobs.Helping the boss also doesn't make any difference ,the boss lets that go out and make new orders.

Your boss is an idiot. A boss like that needs a robot and a dog. Why waste money on an inteligent human being.

oh yeah had gotten into with two old bosses. one thought he could call me any names that he wanted, i wasn't about to sit there and take it from him so i gave it back to him. told him everyone else here might sit here and take it for whatever reason, but i refuse to allow you to cruiss me like this, so it went back and forth yeah i got fired after calling him a few choice names lol. then my other one thought he talk to me like a kid, and told me once he will talk to me like his my dad, yeah that didn't go over well. i told him in front of his boss i am not your son, you are not good enough to ever be my dad, if you want me to respect you then you better respect me like a man. the last night i grabbed him by his tie and tried to pull him the glass, yeah got fired from there too. i just refuse to kiss anyone butt allow them talk down to me like a peice of crap. when i was a boss if i had a issue with one of my workers i would take them to the side and talk with them

I have this kind of boss. She was always right, she always get the credit for my ideas. If she fails, it's because she is not a superwoman to take care of everything. This set up is fine with me because I feel more blessed than her. Her marriage is in the merge of breaking while I have a wonderful family support. Her career is the most precious thing she has right now. I know I can always find a new job but my family is irreplaceable. Maybe most of the boss are like mine, they have unsuccessful marriage life. Lets piety them.

I get it it is futile to debate with your boss it is a situation where one says heads i win and tails you lose.
