Study Says 2 In 5 Bosses Lie
Freshly Exhumed writes to tell us about a Florida State University study of 700 employees indicating that nearly two of five bosses don't keep their word. The study will be published later this year. From the article: "The abusive boss has been well documented in movies ('Nine to Five'), television (Fox's 'My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss') and even the Internet. 'They say that employees don't leave their job or company, they leave their boss. We wanted to see if this is, in fact, true,' said Wayne Hochwarter, an associate professor of management in FSU's College of Business."
3 out of 5 bosses DON'T lie! That should melt a few ice cold cynical hearts out there.
Studies show that 100% of my employees are mouthy SOBs who don't know what side their bread is buttered on. Lie at work? Abusive relationship? You shouldn't have talked, kids; now you'll really know what an abusive boss is like!
Where do people think that boss's come from? Hell.
Truer words were never spoken...
The other 3 lied in the survey.
And now I add some more text, ruining the joke, because the lameness filter has no sense of humour.

Nice way to lose some useful data in the translation. Do you work in Marketing?
If we assume that the average boss has an average of ten grunts...

This guy's the limit!
Only when Microsoft started hiring more women and minorities did things change to a large degree. Of course, Microsoft's productivity also took a hit right around that time too.
So, what am I saying? Decide that for yourself.
You're a misogynistic racist who has no idea how to motivate workers? Hey, if you're also a habitual drunk, you win a prize!

You're going to take somebody's overly general and comically exaggerated statement that had nothing to do with you in particular as a personal insult, but not what I said?
Man, I don't even know what to say. Thanks, I guess :P You guys' dedication to avoiding any sort of introspection is just amazing.

Did your manager also have a feathered hat, wear a long, purple fur coat, and carry a cane?
