How many of you operate under the "act/do as I say not as I act/do" rule?
<snipped usless whining here> :p
I guess what I'm asking is, is it common practice for bosses to behave/act one way but expect their employees to behave/act another? I really don't know because I've basically had the same boss for the past 5 or 6 years at two different jobs.
Personally I don't think so, but my Mother said "she's the boss, she can do whatever she wants". I didn't agree. I think the "boss" should set a precedent and act/behave how they would wish their employees to act/behave. Am I wrong? :think
I have the opposite problem. I got dinged on my review because I would outperform my subordinates and they reported I was trying to make them look bad. The world is waayyy to politically correct theses days. I wound up stepping away from management to being an "individual contributor" I still have mgmt. perks but nobody reporting directly to me. :confused:
