| 2. I have all kinds of "peer pressure" stories from past jobs |
|
That's why I went into business for myself after leaving Cisco in 2001. It may be a lot harder to own 100% of the responsibility, but the only way I could ever kiss the boss's ass would be to become double-jointed, since I AM the boss.
I'm not kidding...I've had jobs where you were ABSOLUTELY expected to give your boss SOME KIND OF TOKEN of your undying obedience at Christmas time. They usually set dollar limits on stuff so that some kiss-ass wouldn't go out and buy a Faberge egg or something.
:rofl:

| 3. My boss would consider it poor form, if not outright rude. |
|
He pays me. He does NOT want me spending that money on him.

| 4. Nobody should have a boss. |
|
I did. When I was young and stupid. Now my boss is a raging asshole. He drinks too much. But I'm stuck with him.
