Who you work for..your boss makes a difference. A tough boss who expects your best is fine..if he is a good leader and cares about you as a human being..someone whom you can respect and who respects hard-working employees.
I had a great boss. He moved to another organization about 2 yrs before i retired..almost a year into my retirement I got a text that said are you interested in coming out of retirement.? when i called him he told me he was amazed i called..thought he’d get a text that said..no way!
I told him ..YOU’RE the only one I would call back.
I work with him part time and having fun.
Yep. Bad bosses traditionally have been the #1 reason people leave a job.
