Boss ya No Boss

Ok my ever riding confusion.. What is it that is better? A good Boss or a Bad Boss? I know most of you would say obviously a good boss.. But this post is about a little more than that..

I dnt know how many of you have had the earth shattering priviledge of having a Good Boss.. Well i havent had none.. at all except for a 2 week boss who i learnt things that help me till now..so thats the kind of power i am talking about. And no this is not a frustration venting post but infact a questioning or rather wondering would be a better word to use..Just a question i have been asking for a while now..and this specifically is from the mindset of a start up in the working population. Start up meaning anything from 1 day to your entire working career..

speaking of the broader picture there are namely two kinds of bad bosses (there are many more types if you go into detailing) you would encounter.. and i would like to tag these types as BAD..

1. Knows absolutely nothing about the job, is least interested, wants to keep shirking off the responsibilities..basically you are in a soup most of the time..


2. the kinds who know loads.. but are the bitchy or b**t***d political types who just want to show off their power.. one can appreciate their knowledge but only wonder why they wouldnt pass it on to you.. and besides whatever little you try on your own is spat upon by them.. they are the noisy kinds who step into everything that you do and have a judgement about it.. at the end of it all you just wonder.. am i even worth an ounce..

from my personal experience with the above two types..

No.1 .. Well for the first 1 month you think .. dude i am in a soup or what and then you eventually after crying buckets and having sleepless nights.. tell yourself.. Dude care a fuck man.. i got the opportunity to just be the king in the situation.. not that i have a choice to be any lesser.. but why not make the most of it.. It works but you got to ensure you let the super seniors know that dude u r really working under a dud..Downside of such situation.. you're not sure what you learnt is the right way to go.. its all guesstimation of solving work related problems..you become a topper in Crisis management but maybe not really sure to guide others how and what it is.. so you go and tell the next entrant.. swim child.. dnt know how else to teach you the basics..

No.2... Man you really question your capabilities by the end of it.. its like someones just trying to encroach your space.. what the F*** ..you are psyched out more and lose all the so called King qualities all of a sudden because you are suddenly questioned every second and you suddenly remember the song by STING -

every breath you take, every move you make,every bond you break, every step you take, i'll be watching you..

Whoaaaaaa now thats a little Psychotic but that becomes your way of life..When you ask for help.. how can you ask for help?.. thats a crime..basically its a catch 22 situation and the final result is DUDE GET OUT OF THAT PLACE MAN..lol.. thats the only solution i could think of..

Reminds me of the Naukri.com Hari Sadu ad.. because yes that ad has cracked the most importnat aspect of our lives.. common think of it.. 80 out of 100 of us would leave our jobs ultimately because of our great bosses.. renumerations, career questions they all stand right but they will always somehow be there and you can manage to find a way out.. but the ultimate desperation which none of these other two issues can create is our dear Own BOSS.

Its a bit unnerving.. but keeping my fingers crossed.. Soon to be working again after my LONGGG breakk.. this time i hit the jackpot for a change..
