1. Huh?
Edited on Mon Oct-11-10 05:35 PM by SoCalDem
Well ... I CAN see employees SEEMING more "friendly" to the boss, lest they make a "fire-these-people..in no particular order" list

3. the guy I work for is a prick
he'd be a prick if the economy was shining and rainbows were everywhere. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Is it wrong to wish for someone to fall down the stairs?

did that answer the question?

5. Voted no, but gotta say...
I am friendlier to MY boss these days. The no vote comes from how he is not friendlier to me. He just loves that we are all kissing his ass for fear of being the next one out the door. I would call it abuse, but I don't want to lose the job.

6. If being more afraid of losing your job -
Makes a worker
More 'friendly' to their boss - then I suppose so.
