    Very much! She's the only female director in our company and I admire her for having to put up with all of the sexist bullshit that she deals with.

    Considering my mom is my "primary" boss, over myself and an in house client, I like her MOST days.... as long as I remember that during that time she's "boss" and not "mom".

    I like my boss a lot! He is always in a good mood, fair and cares about every single employee. He is really easy to talk to as well. It is a small company so he is always doing things for us to say thank you. Examples from this year: early releases, taking us out for drinks on Red Sox Opening Day to watch the game, $50 gas card, random half days, and a company dinner/entertainment night is coming up.

    I LOVE my boss, we are actually friends.  I had him at my wedding (only 1 of 2 ppl from work).  I hang out with his wife, and dolunch and coffee runs ALL the time.  I feel pretty lucky.

    My Boss has her days. She can be very nice and sweet and then some days she's stricted and mean. I guess it goes with the job, she's the manager and get's alot of tough stuff coming from higher up. But most of the time she's pretty good :-)

    Very much. She is awesome. We get a long very well and occasionally do game night with our husbands but most of the time we leave them behind and go shop or to lunch or somehting.

    My boss is an Indian male so he comes with certain cultural norms that I was otherwise unfamiliar with. Once I came to understand how he approaches things I started to appreciate his overall management style. He is very understanding and caring, although to some he might seem otherwise.

    I like my boss, but hardly ever see any of my supervisors.  The person I see most is my mentor, who is sort of also my boss, and she and I get along incredibly well.

    Yes! She is awesome!! Very understanding, supportive, and she understands what it takes to do the job & appreciates us as employees. Also it doesn't hurt that we are in different cities so no mircomanaging!

    I have more than one, and my duties are changing at the job.  Of course  it depends on the workload and day too.

    For the most part I like my bosses...the ones above them I have to deal with often too, not so much.

    He drives me crazy sometimes because he's a scatterbrain, and because sometimes he expects me to know things I couldn't possibly know.  But he never gets angry or anything, and he's so laid-back and even-keeled, it's really almost impossible to dislike him for more than five minutes.

    Yeah, I like my boss. We both started a cohort to get our MBA together and have gotten closer. Its nice to have a "personal" relationship with my boss.

    so far i really like him. He's new so we are still trying to figure out how to work well together- but so far he seems super cool. Only time will tell. but fingers crossed. We also have a new lady coming in and last time i worked with a woman it was terrible but her and i have chatted already and she seems great.

    I just got a promotion a week ago, and I got a new boss within the company along with it. She's pretty much amazing. She juggles so much, but she still has time to take you out for coffee or listen to you if there's an issue. Really, though, I love almost every manager in my department. The COO and I frequently chat about computer games, which is pretty awesome :).

    My boss is a great boss.  But as a person, I can't stand her.  I'd NEVER be friendly with her.  EVER.

    I really like my direct manager, she's very smart and understanding and she has a sweet bubbly personality so she makes everything a little less stressful.

    My main boss I like as a person, but not as a boss. She's a nice woman and whatever but she's apathetic about the compnay right now and it's starting to show. She's also made some questionable decisions (ie carrying on a very visible relationship with a subordinate then lying about it).

    My other 3 supervisors are amazing and I love each of them.

    My boss is the GM and I like him well enough. The owners of the company are the only ones above him and I'm not all that thrilled with them most of the time.

    @KristenGotMarried: Your boss is hot.

    I don't have one right now, but my last one was a tad crazy.  No one really likes her that I know of, but they're all just waiting it out because she's supposed to retire this summer.

    I have a fabulous boss! He has faith/trust in his employees. And he is flexible, as long as we get our work done, it's okay for us to come in a little late and leave a little early. He doesn't beleive in micro-managing, which is good because I hate being micro-managed.

    My boss just left for lunch, told me I have the Con, and then said I could fire anyone if needed (jokingly).  So yes, I do believe I like my boss!

    I am very fortunate in the boss department. My immediate boss is awesome, super understanding, fair and a great person. She's the first boss I've ever had who pushed for me to get a more than decent raise and she's constantly giving me other perks like the ability to work from home, extra vacation days, etc. My boss's boss I've known since i started my career, I've always respected him and liked him professionally and personally. He helped me get this job 2 years ago and I am so happy to be working for him.

    Basically it would take a LOT of money to get me to ever move jobs, not that anyone's offering right now lol!

    I was and am still close friends with my previous boss. I like my current boss most of the time, but she can be hard to read. I guess we're still getting to know each other.
