There are some bad bosses, and life is too short to work for a bad boss, but it seems as if good employees are getting harder and harder to find. If you make a promise, keep it. Deadlines are rules, not guidelines. Double-check your work. Be thankful to have a job.
Perception is reality.
I agree that being a boss is tough. I've been one and was lousy at it. Which is why I got out of that business. But the reality is that with unemployment below 4 percent today, bosses must learn to manage not only the good but the difficult employees. And that's very hard work for the boss.
