    Now that I think about it, I've yet to encounter a jerk as a boss. And I'd like to. As one of the interviewee said, it's a challenge. And I need some incentive to be real productive at work :\

    People need to stop reading/watching CNET & Engadget. The Verge is all you need.

    I think companies need to have two bosses; the jerk + the pushover. Why you ask? well its in our nature of how we work best. like in families: the mother + the father or even like Good cop bad cop. I cant think of any more right now but what im trying to say is that maybe business is just like running a big family.

    A jerk or a pushover? They both suck. Why not someone who gives orders and does their job, but loves the employees? I'm sure there are a handful of these.
