Dear Boss:  It doesn't pay when you're an ass  
Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Florida State University researchers surveyed close to 200 employees from different professions, and got their responses as to how they react to a difficult boss:

 

30 percent slowed down or purposely made errors (vs. 6 % who didn't dislike their boss)

27 percent purposely hid from the boss (vs. 4%)

33 percent confessed to not putting in maximum effort (vs. 9%)

29 percent took sick time off even when not ill (vs. 4%)

25 percent took more or longer breaks (vs. 7%)
