Do you think supevisors like employees to speak like this to them?

One thing you have to remember in a job. You are there to support your boss. Some bosses are dogmatic and want you to do things only their way. Others are more flexible and allow a lot of latitude in how you do your job. Then there are all those in between. If you don't get along with your boss, then go someplace where you can work with someone who is more in tune with your personality.\n\nBut... also look at your own approach. Are you confrontational? Do you get annoyed over someone else telling you what to do? Do you challenge the rules simply to challenge the rules? If you ever want to be in a "boss" position, you have to learn how to be a good employee first. Otherwise nobody will think you are mature enough to be trusted with decisions. This is something I had to learn early in my career. Not every battle is worth winning. Pick the ones that mean something and leave the other ones alone. You may win a battle, but you could lose the war.

I think it is good... it gives you the opportunity to see if you like the company too. Really that's what you are doing anyway even if they say you are hired they can fire you in say a month, they are still trying you out to see if they like you.

well,  it depends if they were close to me or not.  being a leader is something that i do in a job.  i try to be fair with friends and family. and I'm always open for suggestions, from co-workers and friends.  so if asked, i would just be more polite about my bossiness

Yeah it could be.\n\nI've had that before. Like you can always guess what someone's gonna say next - or you just know them all a little too well....

Do you really need to ask how management can benefit by understanding how their employees and clients think?

Maybe its just a figure of speech to them

I would say it's "because of unethical behaviour of my current boss".  I wouldn't offer any more than that unless they asked for specifics.  Even then I wouldn't be comfortable sounding like I am bad-mouthing my old boss. \n\nEven though you are absolutely right to leave for those reasons, new bosses don't care to hear about how bad your old boss is (in my experience)

I agree. If you are doing a good job then you need to speak up. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Managers have a lot of things to do. If you work hard and are not being recognized you need to make yourself known to them. I have had multiple management positions and for all of them I just walked up and asked my manager what I needed to do to get a promotion. Many managers enjoy straight people who just go up to them and are bold and confident.

You would be surprised at how much communication goes on with the executives of a company. Most workers think they don't have their interests in mind, but that's not always the case. Even though they do have to keep profits in mind, I've worked for some companies that really cared about the satisfaction and well being of their employees. As an executive secretary, I sat in on their meetings, so I saw this. So, I guess it depends on the company.\n\nCertainly, a company like Enron would not fall into this category.

Some people really do mean it, but I believe the majority of people say it just to be polite. At least their mind is in the right place in trying to be considerate to a person. I'd say 50% of our daily speech is occupied saying to others what we think they want to hear, but I'm just guessing on the percentage.

No... when someone calls in reference to their employment you can't "slander" them. But if they ask, would you rehire them you can say NO! Or if they ask if they were on time... if they weren't you can say no to that also.

If you have an anonymous system for employee complaints, then use it to bring this to their attention. This kind of stuff isn't conducive to a healthy workplace, I would think someone in upper management would want to know. However, if you are working in a smaller company, you will have to decide if you feel its safe to speak up or not. \n\nNo, its not normal.

Absolutely. They mostly want subordinates but it looks like they are picking on people for thrills. This explains why things are always screwed up.
