Short summary:

There is movie about three men who have problems with their boss. The movie is named "Horrible Bosses". The writer discussed in this article what you should to do with those problems. You have to be sure where the problems came from before you do anything worse with your boss, if they come from your boss or relationship with your boss. If it is from your boss your option is that should leave or if it is the relationship you need to have some responsibility for it and try to change it. There are some questions you should answer before you do anything.

My opinion:

I saw this movie and I liked it. Sometimes there are bosses who have bad deals with workers, but sometimes the workers have bad relationship with their bosses. We have known where the problems are and tried to solve them.

Issues that you can find:

Do you have some trouble with your boss?

Do you think the problems come from your boss’s personality?

What do you think the best solution is with a bad boss?

Do you talk with your boss about what he expected of you?
