There are four kinds of employees: (1) incompetent and lazy; (2) competent and lazy; (3) incompetent and energetic; and (4) competent and energetic. The first is tolerable if you can't get someone else. The second okay. The third is the worst and you should get rid of them even if they are they only employee you have. The last is golden.----My stepfather.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Same can be said for owners. I hate dictators who think your job is to be their tool. I hate testosterone. I work well with people who communicate and see you as equal even when above you. You can accept someone's position but that does not give them the right to treat you like a mere tool. I have had great bosses and dicks who simply like throwing their weight around. I have other dick bosses who are slick about how they manipulate you faking caring in front of everyone.
The worst bosses I have ever had are sociopaths. The best bosses that you go to bat for are the ones who know you are the reason they do well.
Long time ago I heard a joke told by a German about Americans and British:
An American sees a guy drive by in a Ferrari and says man I'm going to have a car like that some day.
A Brit sees the same car go by and says someday that SOB is going to have to ride the bus just like me.
I don't know how well that describes the British or every American for that matter. But it's how I see you. Does it ever cross you mind that someday you might be a boss? Because you missed the rather funny point which is that active incompetence is the most damaging possibility. That would go for bosses too.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Isn't this George Carlin?
If it`s true that our species is alone in the universe then I`d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
