It doesn’t take a lot to ruin a good thing. Or any thing, for that matter. A single bad managerial figure can destroy a good vibe at any workplace and also potentially scar you for life in more ways than one. But, believe it or not, bad bosses aren’t all that common.

Contrary to what r/AntiWork leads many to believe, bad bosses are actually in the minority. Depending on how you approach it, it’s roughly 13% of employees who reflect on their bosses as being truly sucky. Mostly in Europe. So, where are all the good guy bosses at? This list, of course!

Scroll down to check out some of the most gosh-darn brilliant examples of bosses out there, as shared by happy employees across the internet.

Sadly, some of the best bosses I know got hardened by people taking advantage of their goodness. It's like with customer service, after a while you start assuming everyone is horrible....I wish people were kinder to one another

I'm lucky to work in a small office where they treat us like this. We know that there are times we absolutely have to be at work (during audits, tax season, etc.) but the rest of the time they are really flexible. And they give us a generous amount of PTO so we never have to stress out about having enough time when we need days off. I could make more money working someplace else, but it's worth it to me to have this instead. Of course, I have also proven to be a reliable and responsible employee who ensures work is done before taking time off. It's a two-way street.

This is really only possible in certain fields though.. There are a lot of careers you can't just come and go as you please and work from anywhere, that doesn't make those bosses bad people, that's simply the career you chose.

Also, unfortunately, not all employees are going to be responsible and mature with a system like this. Some of them will abuse it greatly (I've seen it done). In a perfect world, this is exactly how things would work, but the world has humans in it so.....

This is how I run my businesses; I have not been disappointed. Poor employees stand out for other reasons besides where they get their work done. I get rid of those individuals as fast as I can. Everyone's productivity improves when productivity anchors are removed from the work environment regardless of location.

    So, what’s a good boss? Funnily enough, explaining what a bad boss is first is the easier task. Brace yourself as it’s about to get super crunchy (get it, because numbers and facts?).

    The tl;dr explanation is that a bad boss is any managerial persona who’s confrontational, unkind, unaccommodating, or unmotivated. This can manifest in a number of ways: lack of leadership skill, use of micromanagement tactics, and exceedingly high demands for employees, just to name a few.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is besides lacking any sort of positive human qualities, thus prompting for hostility, avoiding providing help where needed and just being flat out disrespectful. And then morale plummets, employee turnover skyrockets, productivity tanks, and the negative Glassdoor reviews start piling in, culminating in a cluster-truck of trouble for the company.

    Now, there are ways of dealing with poor management. Mostly, it’s tackling the issue head on and working together to fix it. This involves taking notes and recording (within legal limits) the actions and behaviors that need correction, consulting with fellow employees, and approaching the supervisor directly, either with or without HR (though the former is recommended).

    Ideally, the use of “proper channels” makes sure that everything is civil and it provides the manager with a chance to explain themselves. By proxy, talking through an issue can determine who is at fault (if any) and identify ways to rectify it. A learning experience all around.

    So, 13%. A 2018 study done by the Institute of Labor Economics dove deep into how common bad bosses are in a discussion paper series of theirs. The need for the study arose for a number of reasons. Most notably, it was the increasingly common media and movie representation of bad bosses, the Peter Principle (whereby managers were often promoted to positions one level above their realistic aptitude) and the more recent concerns of stress and psychological ill-health in workplaces.

    The study also premises its research with a number of factors. A key aspect was that supers, managers and the like exert a great deal of power in the workplace, and this has a significant impact (either positive or negative) on employees and the way the company operates. This includes a direct correlation with performance and results.

    THIS is what the pandemic relief checks that businesses got was SUPPOSED to be used for. Not for buying themselves new cars (one each for boss and his wife) and a new boat, like my husband’s old boss did. Not one single penny went toward the employees. In fact, they cried poor when my husband asked for a raise. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Hubby owns his own business now. I run the office. We’re determined to be the most fair, honest, and ethical company we can be. We would’ve taken a chunk of the relief money and given our employees a nice raises and bonuses, and put the rest back into the company for improvements, which could also benefit our employees (like new equipment, new uniforms, etc).

    The best way to show appreciation for your employees and improve moral is simply to pay them well. Pizza parties and stuff like that don't work all well as an employee knowing they will be able to pay their bills, support themselves & their families, and even have money for extra stuff. People who are paid well won't be at work constantly thinking and worrying about how to afford basic things and they can focus. They'll work extra hard too.

    They did this at my warehouse job during the pandemic. It's technically three different businesses under one umbrella that have busy seasons at different times of the year. While the other two weren't that busy we were working Saturdays and overtime, and because of covid they didn't want us all intermingling for fear of a company wide outbreak. 60 hour work weeks for three months kind of beats you down. I don't know how RN's do it.

    Over the pandemic, we used vacuum sealed bags with mixed sweets in and Halloween stickers on for trick or treaters. We even had a sign saying 'Trick Or Treat Here. We are open to ghouls, ghosts and goblins as well as other costumed creatures. Even those with the plague!' and we handed out the packs with long sticks with claws on them. The kids loved it

    Ahhh, yes. Acknowledging your fellow humans and their very human needs. It's sad this has to stand out at all. It should be f*****g standard.

    The key demographic of the study was Europe, though data sets and descriptive stats were given for the USA as well.

    Bosses were classified as bad if the net score was negative across seven categories scored by workers: feedback, respect, praise and recognition, help getting the job done, support for individual development, successful team-working, and one who helps and supports.

    I work for a pharmacy...one of the big ones...one of the ones staging walkouts right now...we were the ones giving vaccines, scheduled every 10 minutes...and now going through it all over again (but now patients are meaner and impatient)...ONE year, they gave us $200 in-store rewards cash (so it could only be spent in the stores)...while cutting payroll and hours over and over again. It's a disaster, and those walkouts are completely justified. Things have to change.

    It's not just nice but also a very good dwcision for the company, if you want to keep people working for you. It is very expensive to get new staff every few months and train them. Plus, a happy employee will work harder, be kinder and will identify more with the company.

    That is amazing, although most companies were doing this but they were being handed out in different ways, my job was giving $100 every 2 weeks with their biweekly pay checks and automatic double pay when doing overtime hours. It was the government's money given to companies to help with the pandemic and up to them on how to use it

    A coworker mentioned she had like $20 left until payday (31st). It was a few days before Christmas, she was supposed to do Christmas dinner for her adult kids and hadn't bought groceries, and she hadn't gotten a present for her grandson yet. I gave her a card with $100, and told her not to worry about paying it back. Just pay it forward sometime when she was in a better financial position. The past couple years she has helped me with the Adopt a Family (buying Christmas gifts for low income families). I do clothes, she does toys.

    I got suspended from work for a week cause of a manager that hated me. The other manager is the one who had to tell me, she then handed me $100 to help a little for the week cause she didn't think it was fair, but the other manager over ruled her.

    Around 13% of all employees in the survey were actually working under what the survey would consider a genuinely bad boss. This was actually lower than some of the extreme convictions brought about by other similar studies and polls of the time. Funnily enough, 13% of employees also gave their bosses a perfect score.

    According to the study, the most bad-boss-laden industries were transportation (a bit above 17%), manufacturing (16%), and human health and social work activities (nearly 15%). Runners up include agriculture, admin and support services, hospitality and food service industries, wholesale and retail, among many others.

    This is a huge help, especially the water and soda. Drivers who work areas without stores (industrial and residential) have a heck of a time if they've not brought enough fluids or need an afternoon snack to re-energize them. Some also have a heck of a time finding public restrooms when they need them.

    It's a great and wholesome gesture, but you might get a spike of porch pirates cuz of that

    So, let’s circle back to what is a good boss? The same ILE study provided a dead giveaway, actually: it’s a boss who gives useful feedback, is helpful in getting the job done, respects workers as people, encourages development, gives praise and recognition, is successful in teamwork, and helps and supports employees.

    PeopleHum adds to this by also suggesting other lesser-practiced, yet still significant aspects. You know, having a plan (a clear vision) on how work will be done, communicating expectations, treating employees like equals (horizontal hierarchy), and making work fun. Team building, events and activities, snack giveaways, that sort of thing.

    My old manager and I (I was her assistant) used to do things like this for our employees all the time. I only mention this because, I know the pizza parties from the company get flack, but we did this kind of stuff out of our own pockets to boost moral. Sometimes I think some things that are posted get seen as condescending but a lot of times it's a manager working within company restrictions to do the best they can to keep good employees happy; out of their paycheck. And a lot of times they're not making much more than their coworkers. I think it's almost worth forgoing the extra money from a shittier job to stay with a boss who cares.

    But if you need an even more digestible version of what is a good boss, hey, you’re scrolling this list! Absolutely meta, we know, but the employees are real, the bosses are real, and the goodness you’re feeling right now—yep, real too!

    The overarching theme that is the beauty behind all of these good boss posts is that they were all done in very simple ways. Just think about it: one boss makes breakfast for his team every Wednesday, which has amazing potential for team building; another boss sent a thank you letter, acknowledging all of the hard work the employee did, which is just plain nice; heck, just straight up giving money is always a nice gesture, and the kind words add volumes to it.

    This is what is meant by reasonable adjustments. If your employee needs extra support to do their job and you're in a position to give it, then you should. Too many employers don't seem to understand this, and then they complain that employee isn't able to do their job properly. I have anxiety and depression and even with occupational health reports recommending certain reasonable adjustments, I've not had them put in place by my employers in the past. Then I've been moaned at for having to go off sick because the lack of support has led to a decline in my mental health. This is the law in the UK as well under the Equality Act 2010.

    This is where I love the French system: if you are registered disabled (which is fairly easily done through the health system) then you can get a 'recognised handicapped worker' status. This not only means help to find work that suits your needs, but also that employers taking you on get tax breaks so long as they provide you with reasonable adjustments determined by you, your doctor, and an independent occupational health officer.

    In most companies where I worked, if anyone would get that big screen, half of people around would go crazy with "I wanna one tooooooo"

    And just as violence begets violence, it works the same way with being nice, kind and caring. If your boss is good to you, be good back!

    Management values employees who show dedication and commitment, perform their tasks reliably and with confidence, and don’t shy away from teamwork all while being able to work independently too. And whipping out skills like critical thinking, self-awareness and self-improvement, and good interpersonal communication is always a good idea throughout the entire work process.

    "Don't take the laptop to the beach, you will ruin it with sand!" 😁

    It’s naturally tempting to say “screw it” and quit your job on the spot when a rotten egg of a manager is in charge. But, again, a civil code of conduct is the way to go and so the laws of teamwork have to apply.

    In other words, mutual respect between managers and employees leads to more willingness to offer support (both ways) and perform well. Both find reasons to do their best, thus boosting productivity and collaboration, all while pushing away the problems of absenteeism (unplanned absences from work) and employee turnover.

    My old company had a suggestion program where you got paid for approved suggestions. My boss would see something and write it up under the employees names. He would approve it and pass it along to engineering with added comments about what a great idea it was. If engineering approves, and they usually did based on the boss's comments, you'd get paid. We received a $10,000 suggestion award that we split between our 4 member crew. We knew nothing about it till the money arrived and he asked nothing for himself (we made sure he received a very nice appreciation gift).

    I’m a bartender & our manager put together little kits for New Years Day for all of us! Bloody Mary set ups, headache medication, electrolyte packets, antacids, all the things. With a note saying she hoped our NYE would warrant needing all of it! Even better, she closed the bar so we could all do our thing, because we don’t really have people who stay out late. So anyone who had to work wouldn’t make money.

    Please know that I have your back. You have my full support. So, I want to ensure you are taking the steps needed to care for yourself... as you are NO GOOD to anyone else (as a caregiver, as a social worker, as an RN Care Manager, or any other role) if you are not participating in self-care.
    I expect that you are eating lunch. I expect that you are working hard during the day. I expect that you are leaving on time - and I encourage you to do so. We were telling some folks yesterday that you could work 24/7 at this job - and I know you know it's true. Please set good boundaries for yourself. If you are working hard during the day to get things done and are leaving at 4:30/5 PM - don't worry about what is left undone. Tomorrow is another day. If there are urgent issues, notify the on-call staff / leave a good handoff for the weekend or weekday - reach out to me. I'll be happy to problem-solve with you. I'm here to support you. 
    Happy Friday - and take good care of yourselves this weekend!"
