I once worked for a managing editor who felt it was his duty to pay for the majority of drinks when joining the charges after work. Needless to say, he was well liked.
But leading a group of people — and yes, journalists are people, too — takes more than a few dollars in the pub to do well. A recent survey proves the point: A majority of U.S. workers do not think their bosses are truthful and one in four would fire their boss if they could.
It gets worse: The poll, conducted for a human resources and placement company, found 53 percent of workers did not think their boss was honest, a similar number did not think their boss was fair or patient and two-thirds did not think their boss was loyal.
On the plus side, two-thirds of workers would not change anything about their relationship with their boss, although I’m not certain what that means, or implies.
The poll is timely as National Boss Day falls on Friday, Oct 16, which gives us the perfect opportunity to ask, what do you think of your boss? Leave your comments below.

It is really a good topic.I believe that all the people here would like to say some words about their bosses.It has been almost four years when i gradulated from my college.If you ask:” How many bosses i have worked for? “I really have no idea.Big company, small company, friendly,mean,stingy.The boss who fired me or who i fired him. I must say i should thank them for letting me get to know this world,and the people in the world. And now i workd in a small trade comapny name Pandawill.com I am sure there is someone who purchased something from our page. I was very luncky to have stumbled across my boss now two month age, friendly, productive,humorous,talkative … Hope our company will have a bright future. So, all the pandawill guys,fighting !
