I ask because my bosses are fucking disasters to work with. They never know what they have in stock, they're so fucking slow to get anything done, they have no filing system whatsoever for important documents and they're so messy that they make my toilet bowl after Mexican night look like a plate clean enough to clean off of.

We get the most done when they're not there, and by we I mean me and three teenagers who are still in secondary school. We have to come in every morning and sort out their mess for minimum goddamn wage.

So yeah, my bosses suck. Are yours any different? Could they actually work a wage job?

    I've mostly worked in tech, and I've had basically one good boss my whole career.

    The good boss had been a worker like me a few years back and just kinda stumbled into the mgmt role. She was super caring and gave me tons of great advice about work politics stuff. She even had me take PTO multiple times but not submit the paperwork to HR, so it didn't take away from my actual allotted PTO hours which was about the most based thing I've ever had a boss do. She understood that the PTO hours was about as close to a severance as we would get, so she wanted to make sure everyone had a good stack of hours. Unfortunately she left to better pay at a different place.

    All my other bosses have been pretty bad, either at doing the actual mgmt work or at knowing anything about the work being done.
