Blasting the Boss: Reuters is reporting on a survey by Randstad USA that paints
supervisors as bumbling incompetents who have lost the respect of their workers.
According to Reuters, a recent Internet survey of 2,337 people by Randstad shows
that less than one-third of employees believe their bosses do a first-rate job
of coaching, motivating and leading. Less than half say they would volunteer to
work extra time to impress their boss. Only 43 percent believe their supervisors
are open to new ideas. The impending financial crisis hasn’t helped, with a
growing number of people worried about losing their jobs.
