Intro
Most of us would rather not work if we didn’t have to. But a job is a necessary part of life for almost everybody. Since we have to work, we at least want to have an interesting job, fun co-workers, and a cool boss. Unfortunately, some people get stuck with horrible bosses. A horrible boss might be mean stingy, or too demanding. They can make us hate our job, even when we love what we do.
