Starting ’07 off with a laugh.

I saw this and started chuckling. This is supposed to be a news story but, given what I have heard from friends and from what I read this comes as no surprise:

• 39 percent of workers said their supervisor failed to keep promises.


• 37 percent said their supervisor failed to give credit when due.


• 31 percent said their supervisor gave them the "silent treatment" in the past year.


• 27 percent said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers.


• 24 percent said their supervisor invaded their privacy.


• 23 percent said their supervisor blamed others to cover up mistakes or to minimize embarrassment.
