Poll of the Day > What if you were allowed to fire your boss?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lets say you and your 30 or so coworkers are doing an excellent job and then a new middle manager Karen is hired and makes everyone miserable and fires your coworkers when they step out of line

And one time someone complained to HR, and they got fired too

...

Can't yall just team up and fire the shitty boss?

You could try staging a mass walkout.

Solidarity, solidarity, solidarity forever!

I've only ever been in one situation where I felt the desire to fire my boss and it wasn't' at my current company.
That guy was an asshole who had no respect for anyone not like him.

I have wondered if you could somehow have a democratic business structure. most businesses are basically totalitarian, and there are definitely problems that emerge from that. would not be easy to do though.

I have an enormous amount of respect for my boss.

Employee-owned businesses are in theory democratic, although you're also going to have problems arise from that as well.

And it's not terribly hard to have an employee-owned business, although the nature of the business makes it harder to run and you don't see them as often for pretty obvious reasons.

I've waded through a lot of shit before I could feel this fortunate, it is never taken for granted

At two of my jobs, I would have loved to fire my boss(es). I feel like this would have made the world a slightly better place as well. At my current job, I do not feel I'd ever need such power, unless I could find the person (in corporate) responsible for the horrible music choices.
