I'm odd in that I actually like my boss.  Of course, she recruited me from an agency that I wasn't having much fun working at, so

he's a little quirky, but the pay and benefits (100% healthcare, ton of paid vacation) are unbeatable

he really wants us to want to come to work

That's a smart boss.  Employees who like their boss put more pride in their work and will go the extra mile to get the job done.

I've had bosses I loved, hated, neither, and both.  I've worked 25 years for the same company so I've had many.  I love the owners, but some of the managers don't know their ass from a hole in the ground and can't be trusted.  I had a bad experience with two managers a few years ago, one of which passed a defective product on to the customer THEN TRIED TO BLAME ME.

I followed the wishes this devious product manager to give him the tested products directly with any failures noted on the job traveler rather than separating them from the good units then placing them on the repair shelf which is normal protocol.  I informed my manager of his wishes since it's not usual practice, and he said "fine".  Weeks later, when the shiite hits the fan because one unit failed the customer's incoming inspection, the guilty party threw me under the bus, and my manager tried to dodge the whole situation by coming down with amnesia.  Good thing the engineer assigned to investigating what went wrong eventually found the job traveller with my handwriting right next to the calibration step saying "S/N 1621 failed hi-pot test".

The guilty party is no longer with the company, I have a new boss, and I like my new assignment.

+1

When I was supervisor for the crap company I just got canned from, I would ALWAYS share my bonuses no matter how big or small.  The people working for my department were the reason I got bonuses, so I figure that I have the obligation to share.

It's suprising how many times someone would comment that I was the only one ever to do that.

Of course, my departments always had to most seasoned workers and fewest problems.

Indeed an i did the same, cause its NOT only hte mgr that gets the bonus. its his employees who HELP him/her get it. so yeah, at least a thank you card or luch or somehting. if not some fundage
