How many bosses do you have
I'm up to like 6 now. They don't talk to each other and it sucks. Now they are laying off 100 people and I know after the layoffs I'll either be gone or still have like 6 bosses.
I hate the company I work for so bad! |

Too many bosses. I hate the company I've been working for the last 30 years...... no pension plan, terrible benefits, no overtime, 60+ hour weeks, no paid vacation or sick days....
.....I'm self-employed! |

I have one direct boss, but there are other VP's, directors, president, etc that I support when needed. Pretty good place to work, actually.

It's just me, myself, and I. I'm my own boss. When I really get angry at me, I fire myself.

My company is going even more to a "matrix" structure - more bosses, fewer doers. There are the "line" managers via a conventional "chain of command" structure, and "project leaders" who are also supervisory. This means one group or the other is always pissed off no matter what you do. A lose-lose situation for the workers bees.
As a result, I have something like 4 day-to-day bosses right now. The company is woefully top heavy, and the bosses all think they are working hard managing others. The bosses are mostly ex-project leaders, not technical workers who actually do the work, so they put a much higher value on project management than on actually designing, building and testing new and current products. Having said all that, I probably have (1) "real" boss - the wife, and (2) "bosses in training" - my daughters. Last edited by dw1; 07-02-2015 at 03:50 PM.. |

Just 1. My wife...she's the senior partner in our business. She started it in 1993, and I joined her in 2010.
Yes, we're together 24/7/365, and don't have any problems with it.

My crew hears my speel about "when your boss is talking, you're listening". And I don't mean me. I mean my boss.

LOL. Just don't start arguing with yourself Dave. That's when we really will start to get worried. |
