Fuck no.
1) I think she's bipolar.
2) She talks about me in front of my face in Japanese and then won't translate.
3) Pearl Harbor.

The "big boss": I've eaten some of the best ice cream ever, when he bought some kilos of it for us, during one of the "overtime sessions". Huge man-love.
The "small boss" : Hot milf metalhead that wanders around with Scorpions and Saxon t-shirts. Very sympathetic as a character too, some nervous breakdowns she has make her sexier.

Let me chime in real quickly after all. One of my supervisors is a 53 year old pervert who talks about sexual engagement with midgets (real life testimonials), is a former drug addict who lost his own business, and a philosopher who knows absolutely everything about nothing at all. From time to time I have to write reports on various alarms and shat that occur during the work shift. I work as an operator/dispatcher/phone jockey/negarbeater, (what ever you wish to call it) in a fire alarm/ security command center. Well to make a long story short, this fucking prick edits my God damn Shakespearian reports, removing every word that has more than two syllables in it. For example he removed "expeditiously" from a report because he felt the common man would not be able to digest such vernacular. What a fucking cunt! So in essence, my reports are watered down and passed along to management in pre-school form. God damn motherfucker. Btw did I mention that he looks like Pope Ratzenburger?
He also loves to gossip like a goose with his head up a crawl space. He has a mouth that would make Al Swearsengen blush like a school girl after her first playground reach around. Yet tonight, he tells a co-worker and myself to tone it down as we are creating a hostile work environment due to a barrage of one line insults laid down in the memory of a walking mammary who fucked everyone with her chapped hams, and then spunk it back in the faces of those brave enough to climb her "Mt. St. Helen esque estrogenic layer of Lay's potato chippin and dippin, hop to you drop before the smell gets to you yeast pouch". This was all to cover his ass from a female co-worker. Though we feel comfortable that she won't drop a dime, he's constantly scared shitless and pissfilled that his job can be taken away from him.
Moral of the story, don't trust people who can later ring you like a mop. I made the mistake of somewhat befriending this Vaticanite, and ever since it has brought me nothing but melodrama. I'm on the inside, when all I wish to do is come in, get paid, and clock out. Period!
Does any of this make sense?! I haven't slept since Saturday, so it shouldn't.
FTW!!!!

My big boss, he seems like an okay guy. as for the rest of my managers, two of them I totally trust and the other (who does my scheduling) is really cool, but she's really stressed out all the time and crap. we need to hire another manager.

My boss is never around, and when he is around all he does is create problems it seems. I've talked to probably 30 ppl about him and everyone had a negative thing to say about him. None of his closest co-workers (~20 in all) wanted him as a boss...
He likes to start projects and have a hand in everything that goes on in the factory but when the shit starts to hit the fan he is gone like the wind. He has led countless projects that ended up being very late or just performed very poorly once they were finished (i.e. machines or assembly lines).
We have a paid 30 minute lunch break but he takes a 1h15 break every day without punching out.
Can't be too hard on him at the moment though with his wife in the late stages of Multiple Sclerosis. His stepson commited suicide a couple of years ago as well.

Remember
The guy I report to is a District Sales Manager in charge of 80+ individual bulk accounts (from Wal Marts to grocery stores of all kinds) for Coke, so you'd think he'd be pretty stressed, but he's actually a really, really nice guy! I'm very happy working for him.

My boss is an interesting fellow, he's completely stressed out because there is so much pressure to make/save money. Everytime a worker tells him something he doesn't like, he scoffs, crosses his arms, and gets pissed off; moreover when he get's pissed off, he almost gets hyper, it's an odd site. He's nice as fuck to me, probably because I'm an intern, and I'm ignorant of most of the things that go on in the company.
I do trust him, but it's nice knowing I get to leave this place in about a month!

Don't you ever get...
My bosses are dicks. Basically, I work under 4 people who are granted power, by the city, to tell me what I need to do and how much money to spend while doing it.
They have no common sense whatsoever, especially in the land+building work. Such as this morning, I see a note on my desk saying "We need a sprinkler system installed at so-so, and you have 50 bucks to do it." Gave one a call "Hey, you know that place is huge and in order to install the sprinkler system I'm gonna need a lot more for the sprinklers alone, not to mention I'm gonna have to rent out a trencher, and get a shit load of PVC pipe." He said he'd talk to everyone else and see what they decide. 15 minutes later, get a call and, being the ignorant pricks they are, tell me to rip up an existing sprinkler system, and put it in the new area. And to do it by noon. So I did it... with the help of 3 mexicans... Treated them to some beer money for doing something extra than they normally should be doing (cutting grass).
The worst part is though, next monday, gonna get a note to put a sprinkler system in the place I just ripped up... since they're ignorant and love sending me in circles. This is the 3rd time this year I've had to rip shit up (sod in the last 2 cases) and put it somewhere else, only to have to replace it the next week.
So no, I do not like my boss(es).

Remember
Some of the store owners/managers I deal with are pretty horribly miserable/angry people though. One store in particular, where the owner is a total cunt, seems to rub off on all the employees, making everyone a royal pain in the ass to work with there.
There's one particular Wal Mart that always gives me a hard time and makes my day very stressful and much more complicated than it should be. Fuck em.

Yeah, gotta love those 3% increases.
I remember the Clinton years, getting 15% raises! Ahh the good ol' days.

Ugh.... they don't even cover the increase in "cost of living". It's total b.s. - your paycheck increases so minimally that it doesn't even feel like you got a raise at all.

My boss is a generally nice person, and pleasant to talk to. He doesn't make you feel like you're under that much pressure. On the other hand, he's actually a pretty shitty manager and he will not actually help his employees (particularly those of us who do far more than we should to cover his ass) or go to bat for them. So no, I don't trust him at all. In fact, I'm highly suspicious of managers and supervisors who play the nice guy card and then systematically screw over employees. It's all to often a cover for incompetence of sleazebag management.
My favorite boss to date was a total dick, but he was fair, and no one could fuck with his employees. The guy would talk shit and basically call everyone retarded, but then when the general manager tried to skimp out on giving two of us our raises, I thought my boss was going to come to his house with a baseball bat. We got our raises and plus extra, and when I went to thank him he just said "Maybe now you'll work worth a shit."
I miss that guy.
