Do most people dislike their bosses?

I have mostly liked my bosses–with a few exceptions and hope my staff likes me (I figure they probably do or they would drift away). I have difficulty with ones who lie–to you and others and try to steal credit for ideas and efforts of others. Also have problems with toxic/negative ones, but fortunately haven’t had to be around those much.

Hubby has had mostly good bosses as well. The good/bad thing for him is that most of his bosses rotate out after a year or at most three so no matter how good or bad it is, it is of limited duration. Mostly he’s left to do his own responsibilities and tell them what he did/does. He likes it that way. He really hates to supervise & BE a boss, so mostly he’s been able to avoid that as well.
