what will you say to him or her? Are you mad and do you want to vent out your frustrations? Are you happy about his management style? Do you want a raise? Do you want a promotion? Do you want to resign but you just don't have the guts to pass a resignation paper?
In my case, I just want to say that I'm so tired of being my boss's scapegoat whenever a problem arises. It's my fault when things go wrong... it's ALWAYS my fault (even if the task at hand is not under my responsibilities).
Aaarrrggghh! Here's to another year with the same boss and the same job. My life sucks.

I actually haven't worked outside the house in four and a half years because that was when my husband and I decided that I would be better off as a stay at home mother after our second child was born.
However, if I could go back in time to my boss at the hospital when I worked there, I would tell her, that I didn't appreciate the fact that she hired me under false pretenses. When I was hired I was told that I would only be on third shift until an opening came into first shift. I waited for 18 months and she hired many new people for first shift and never gave me the opportunity to change shifts.

I want to tell him to stop using morons to replace me. I'm on sick leave for several months, and the person replacing me is a complete idiot. She already lost a client, she calls me at the weirdest times for the dumbest problems - usually when I'm in hospital getting some treatment, she calls to ask for last year's productivity data (which, needless to say, is filed in the right place in the office), and she alienated most of the team members; one of them has already handed in his resignation. If this keeps up, I'll be looking for a new job when my leave is over.

"My boss 'was given' to me, I saw my work, serve them coffee,answer her jokes with the same currency, ie take a stand, which many men scare. Easy, easy to start to lose interest because not produced any results so I went o the next office. "So I would say to keep his pants on !!!.. hehehe ..

I think you could have it worse, like immigrants who are abused for them not to go to their country. But for the most part you should be more serious with your boss. Just letting them know what you are capable of and not what they think you are capable of.

To be frank I really couldn't find a "BOSS" in my boss howsoever I looked at him. All I could find was a good friend and a great human being. I wouldn't be going overboard if I say I am the luckiest employee. Just for him this wouldn't be an exaggeration at all. He has lost his temper a couple of times and sent me concerning emails but that's all human. He knows how to treat his employees and does that pretty well too.

I am not retired and am so glad. I worked for a large organization that had world wide companies. We had meeting all the time with changes and new things going on. We were always kept in the know on what was going on. We had the open door policy with our managers and the big boss. I think I had it pretty good. I have a small pension that I will have all the rest of my life and I was only with the company for five years.
