You'd have to be a sociopath not to care about any of your employees. But the reality is that these bosses are there to do a job, just like you. The only difference is that their job entails making sure that the business is profitable enough.

Oftentimes, to do this job properly (i.e. not getting your own ass fired, or ending up in bankruptcy), you have to learn how to separate the personal from the professional. You might feel bad that you have to fire someone (for instance), but if you're overly sensitive, you could very well steer the company into a situation where everybody's out the door.



How many people have you fired? smile

None, yet. But I'm hoping you'll apply so I can boot your ass out the door. slam

that bosses/supervisors genuinely care about you as a person, and don't just see you as another employee? Discuss.

Some do, some don't. lock

I've been a boss several times and I've had many bosses.

You're not meant to have an uber personal relationship with a boss. That's just weird. But I have had quite close working relationships with bosses, I've had bosses that genuinely care, I think I genuinely cared for many if not most of my direct reports, etc.
