    Default Does your Boss love Sycophants?

    Call them yesmen, crawlers or sycophants or whatever but does your Boss love them over those who give them an honest opinion of how things are?
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I have no Opinion at all, the reason being I don't have a boss as I am retired.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    They make me sick,i could not live with a working relationship on this level if i was boss, i would be inclined tell them how working life should be,some will use them as i've seen in a few work places by some unscrupulous bosses to find out about others, to be a sick o fant is to know you are below the snakes belly and obviuosly wanting to gain by you're knowledge of others or practices or grass on others either way saaaaaaaaaad..

    I would hope not.

    The poll options do not allow me to answer honestly for several reasons.

    I guess it all depends on the substance of your "honest opinion" and how/where you decide to put it over.

    I am the Boss as well, not been the Boss for long but the worst culprits in my workplace are the women who aren't above a bit of flirting to try and get what they want.

    It doesn't work with me. But I do enjoy the show.

    I imagine with a name like yours, your smelly socks would be the last of your OHs problems.
