The 3 bosses and the boss' son

It's always a horrifying experience when times at work doesn't alway feel good. Why? We can probably attribute it with the bosses we encounter each day of our lives.



In my three years of work experience I've come across with only one type of boss. All of them are kind of superior and blatantly disrespectful at times to their subordinates. These bosses tend to break the rule of equality so to speak. PErhaps because of what we can call "boss syndrome" the power that they have harnessed in their mind, body and spirit is so uncontainable to them. With that, they cannot even step back or moved down to a level of understanding that can benefit or create a win-win solution between parties involved.



Let me share with you the story of the 3 bosses and the boss' son. Since this is going to be a very long story I will be serializing it so it won't be that hard to read.



THE GERMAN BOSS



At one look , he's good looking. At one touch he's warm and exciting. Yet at one mistake, he's a german shepherd. That's the german boss.



It was a very tough experience for people who have worked with him. He seems to exude compassion but tyranny lies in its basic reality. He's a superior officer, manager of a start up medium enterprise. Usually, if you are a company with small population, interaction and communication is best practiced. Employees are encourage to participate in rule making and are ask or consulted on various grounds that will affect the company as a whole. Well, the german boss is so warm and encouraging about this. Yet things do get turned into a bitter and cold level when the things that are being discussed are way too hard to accept in the mind of this german boss. The "boss syndrome" is jerking around his physicality and mentality. I thought it's a democratic company but when the employees started stating their suggestion based on what the labor code says, the german boss doesn't accept much what the law states. That was avery big problem...
