New boss or pay raise?

ManInTheMirror · 10-17-2012, 07:11 AM

If you could choose one which would you rather have?

I actually really like my boss(es) so I will take a pay raise thank you!

Speaking of current situation....Pay raise because what Im doing is pretty reliable at the moment vs venturing off into something new.

Pay raise = more money for booze = higher tolerance for @$$holes at work.

Hahah this. My boss ain't going anywhere being a friend of the company owner. The only thing that can help me is a bit more money.

I work overnights so I rarely see my bosses. I mainly communicate with them through email. They give me instructions on what needs to be done or what I have to look out for each night, and I make sure my crew and I get it done.

So in summation, Show me the money!

I'll take the raise in a heartbeat...but I also work in web development, where managerial types are NOT insufferable asshats. All the guys I've worked for have been awesome.

Pay raise... you never know on a new boss, they could be worse than the old one.

Unfortunately I've experienced it a couple of different times and it is not fun.

I am the boss and I do payroll so I say no to a new boss, because that means I'm out. And I take raises when I see fit.

I am one of the few who actully enjoys what they do in the world! lol. My own boss. And have fun everyday. So I guess more sales ? Guess thats an answer

I vote new boss over any raise. In fact, because of my boss I did not receive a raise this past year even though I busted my ass for him.

Being that my boss ran to the LCS at lunch for me to pick up some Bowman Chrome so I could go to lunch with my wife....I will take the raise 10 out of 10 times!!

FrankieP · 10-17-2012, 06:54 PM

Love your answer. I have had some shitty bosses in my time but you always say "Yes Sir" or Yes Ma'am" and do as told.
