Do You Trust Your Boss?

Do you use your left hand or your right to feel him out?

 

trust the current boss and his deputies immensely. even trust those immediately above them, all the way up to the editor-in-chief. beyond that, though, there is no trust. i've learned painfully that some decisions are even out of the top editor's hands.

translation: the lawyers calling the shots, who don't know any of the names they try to eff with, are never to be trusted. but having the top ed's in your corner -- as well as your own legal counsel -- should never be underestimated.

 

You must have him confused with Mikey.

 

Can't it be both?

 

Do you trust your boss?

Oh that's funny. That's real funny. You're gonna look funnier suckin' my dick with no teeth.

What I mean is, do you think she'd go behind your back, try to hamstring you?

 

Step aside, Mert. This fucker's about to have himself an accident.

 

I have to say, I am very lucky in this regard (though that has not always been the case ... many years ago I left my hometown paper, with no job lined up, at least in part because I was working for people I didn't trust).
My current boss, I have known a long time, long before he was my boss, and I would trust him with my life. But I also understand that he calls fewer and fewer of the shots in the current economic enviornment, and that worries me.

 

Sounds like bragging to me.

 

Nah, I'm hung like a chicken.

My boss is a great guy, and I trust him more than anyone else in the office. And I really mean that.

 

My boss used to be me. I'm pretty sure I liked it better back then.
