The relationship between the boss and the employee is very important to company productivity, but it can easily become complicated. Those who supervise people have to be cautious about what to say, how to act, and how involved they can get in their employees' lives. Managing such a relationship is definitely a precarious balancing act. But bosses can be friendly even without sitting down with the people they supervise and chatting about the weekend. Bored Panda has collected some of the best examples of boss-employee relationships you would probably like to be a part of, and they definitely seem like the kind that can make work bearable. From having the ugliest sweater competition to 'supporting' each other during a weight-loss contest, these examples prove that it's possible to maintain a friendly, yet professional demeanor in the workplace no matter what your position.

A Friend Of Mine Faked A Doctor's Note At Our Job. This Is My Boss's Response
How on earth did he STILL misspell things when most programs damn near change the word for you??????
A real doctor wouldn't sign their name "Dr" and MD. It would be Robert Boren, MD.
I get doctors note if I'm out for a week. Like with pink eye. He writes like one sentence. "I saw her today in my office and she is not to return to work until...." Doctors literally cannot give up your medical issue (HIPPA) as who goes through the process of signing a medical release just for a doctors note?!
Umm....you're not children. Why would someone have to bring in a doctor's note?
Those dumb notes are still being used by Scouts in Victoria, Australia to kick hard working leaders out. Even worse, nobody seriously is rejecting such "fakes", when one is lodging a protest. Sad and doomed...
Australians are allowed up to 3 (three) separate days off per year as un doctor seen illness. Most of the time we are humane , and recognize that short term illnesses happen,
I'm in USA. I get 12 sick days a year. 5 personal. 18 vacay. I also do not need a note and can get a sick day anytime. This person is just immature and scared and thinks he's in grade school where he needs a note

With this tuition he's bound to fake it a lot better next time.
OH DEAR Lawd, did HE NOT @ the very least, have a friend or family member who was @ the very least, a Nurse? I ask because, being a Registered Nurse Myself, I would have absolutely REFUSED to put my name on this obvious fake document but @ the very least, I would've 'advised' him of the proper terminology & spelling, ROTFLMAO!!!
Umm. Also would not have shared his medical illness! Who signs a release to share medical info for a doctors note. All of my docs only share that they've seen me and I'm not to return until whenever

Wow, virus gone in less than 24 hours? Sorry man but you can shed a stomach virus long after the last puke or Hershey squirts! Stay home, take a staycation. Enjoy yourself before you submit a claim for unemployment benefits!!
Lol definitely a learning lesson, but it's also terrible that we have to make up doctor's notes just to tend to our life needs. Who knows why so and so needed time off, but it was probably due to reasons not respected as an "excuse" and ta-duh a bad letter was created.
He just seems immature and new to the job world. He's not 6 anymore and needs a note to bring to school. Whatever job you have you just call in sick and know your basic workers rights. He could sue if he gets fired over taking a sick day.

Actually in the US they do take our word for it. A doctor’s note is what we need to have if we miss a specific amount of days in a row.

I think the boss is a childish d**k for doing this, but that note is also really wack
Here nor there about who knows the best English language. Key Note: Something I've been very grateful to have learned as my only language and pride myself in knowing. Is that a danglng thing? Big winks and smiles... The BEST and Foremost EXCUSE of ALL is: JURY DUTY. If it is true, which mine was, it is the perfect excuse and easily spelled.
In order to get credit for a full days pay at my health clinic , you are supposed to bring in your check from jury duty. Work cashes it, and gives me my full days pay. Otherwise I waste a personal day and only get paid $8 for a full day at jury duty

One time my boss was moving stuff around the office to see where a new desk would fit best--but our office is rather small so it was a little difficult to get everything just perfect. I asked my boss if I could play some special music the next time he did that. He said okay and asked what kind. I played the Tetris theme for him.
Hey--- give it to ME!!! I'm 48 & (yes, y'all will say "SICK"), but I'm a Belieber!!!!
Roll ur eyes, shake ur head, & turn away---- DO NOT GIVE IN TO EMPTY CALORIES!!!
