My boss is great in that he gets right in there and does the same work we do and he stands up to the other departments when they are doing things that make our job harder. He is generally very laid back most of the time and jokes around a lot.
On the other hand he does have a way of making you feel totally bad when you do something wrong. He's made a couple women cry and has even made a guy cry once! He hasn't made me cry yet though.
I guess you could say he's a little Jekyll and Hyde.
