I agree. There's too much malicious pleasure in maligning or even just
imagining bad bosses. By comparison to the stories I hear, it seems to me
I've had more than my share of good ones.
Teachers too, by the way, back in high school and college.

I've always been advised that if I'm unhappy that accepting a counter offer
is not prudent: I accept the counter offer. Company A hires/trains another
employee, then repeats the behavior that caused me to start looking. I go to
company B but they're no longer interested in me.
I've been at companies where a new hire was a no-show; it's disruptive and
unprofessional.
IMHO, we need to hear more about good bosses; they are out their, and they
make a big difference. I remember fondly a warrant officer who
Knew what he wanted
Insisted that we do what he wanted
Got out of our way and let us do it
Had our backs.
Would I work for him again in a civilian capacity? In a heartbeat. but
bosses like that aren't news and don't get publicity.
