Your boss wears these underpants. Well, 2 out of 5 at least.  Many  newspapers and Web sites that cover the "career genre" are running this headline today: "2 of 5 Bosses Don't Keep Word."  Yeah, no shit Sherlock.  Why do people jump all over every survey conducted by Anybody, USA?  I really hope as this podcast/blog grows we will give the hardest working souls out there a voice.  No statistical garbage.  Cause at the end of the day, do you care if you're among the 99% who couldn't care less about career surveys?

That being said, I'll contradict myself and post a few findings by a study that will be released later in the year by The Leadership Quarterly (sounds sooooo important):

• 39% of workers said supervisors broke promises.
(Supervisors ARE human.  Would you expect anything better?)

• 37% said their supervisor failed to give credit when due.
(Where the hell do the 63% work?)

• 31% said their supervisor gave them the "silent treatment" over the past year.
(This I found interesting.  I thought I was alone. But it's important to keep in mind that it's most likely something personal going on with them - not you.)

There's plenty more.  If you're a stats whore check it out.
