Survey Shows 48% Would Fire Their Boss
By PRWEB
48% Of 1,118 visitors who participated in a survey at BadBossology.com said they would fire their boss if they could.
29% would have their boss assessed by a workplace psychologist and 23% would send their boss for management training.
Toronto ON (PRWEB) June 15, 2004 -- Based on a recent survey conducted at Badbossology.com, it appears that many
people with difficult bosses would fire them versus taking less drastic action. Between April 19th and June 11th, of
the 1,118 people who completed the survey on its site (http://www.badbossology.com (http://www.badbossology.com)) 48%
said they would fire their boss if they could, 29% would have their boss assessed by a workplace psychologist and 23%
would send their boss for management training. Said Co-founder Gary Lahey, "These results seem consistent with
psychologist Dr. Robert Hogan's suggestion that at least 55% of managers in America are incompetent. And, in general,
given their human and financial costs, it's really time for Corporate America to get serious about bad bosses."
Other surveys indicate that approximately 40% of employees have had to deal with a bad boss, and a Gallup Organization
study of over 1,000,000 employees found that if a company is losing good people, more than any other single reason,
the cause is their immediate supervisor: Gallup also found poorly managed workgroups are an average of 50% less
productive and 44% less profitable than well managed groups.
A follow-up survey is currently being conducted and the question is "How helpful is your HR department in protecting
employees from bad bosses?" People can participate in the survey by visiting the site's home page (http://www.
badbossology.com (http://www.badbossology.com)).
Badbossology.com itself is a new and completely free web site designed to protect both people and companies. It
provides continually updated material in an intuitive, blog-style user interface. It takes a responsible balanced
approach, devoid of ranting and 'Boss from Hell' stories, and also provides key resources for bosses, executives and

Survey Shows Bosses Still Driving Turnover
By PRWEB
Survey finds that 71% of site's visitors looking for a new job in response to a problem with their boss.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 21, 2004 -- The old adage that people leave bosses not companies is still germane as shown by
a survey conducted by Badbossology.com. Between March 23rd and April 18th, of the 507 people who completed the survey
on its site (http://www.badbossology.com (http://www.badbossology.com)), 71% are looking for a new job in response to
a problem with their boss. Said Co-founder Gary Lahey, "In view of the significant costs of turnover to both
companies and the people who leave, this result should remind all executives to be vigilant in building and
maintaining a culture that protects people from bad bosses and rewards good bosses."
More generally, other surveys indicate that approximately 40% of employees have had to deal with a bad boss. And a
Gallup survey of over 1,000,000 employees found that if a company is losing good people, more than any other single
reason, the cause is their immediate supervisor: Gallup also found poorly managed workgroups are an average of 50%
less productive and 44% less profitable than well managed groups.
