How do you call your boss?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

Na real problem o. Office etiquette must be followed in addressing the bosses. Though the nature of each individual bosses matters. There are some who don't care how you address him while there are some who are so brutal.

It is crucial to follow the business ethics because your boss must be addressed formally.

Having read some of the comments I also think it depends on what line of work you are in..

If I worked in a bank, I don't think I would call my boss by his first name, but in the factory where I work we use first names.

When I done my house cleaning round there were a couple of people who chose for me to call them Mr and Mrs , that was fine by me, they would call me by my first name and that was fine

I think just calling him "boss" makes things quite easier. It is not too formal neither is it too informal. It is balanced at both ends.

I like that as you can be fun saying Boss and you can say it very seriously when need be

That is what it is. My staff call me boss and they make it sound formal or formal when the need for each situation arises.

That sounds just grand.

What sort of work are you in? Have you been boss for very long.

Great to meet you on here, I am still slowly learning my way round this forum, I am a bit of a dinosaur on things like this

In Nigeria especially Yorubaland, it is regarded uncultured and immoral to call your boss by his name. Bosses are always addressed ''sir or ma'' without adding his name. Everything here is done on respect manner. Junior worker found to be insubordinate would be sanctioned.

Not just in the Yoruba land though, its pretty much almost everywhere in Nigeria, it even feels wrong calling your boss by his name, its either we just call him boss or we add boss or sir before calling his name.

It has been great to read about what people call their boss from the many different countries we all live in, and what people prefer to call the boss man.

An education every time I come here to read

Well, in my country, many people may call their boss as "Bhai" as a form of respect. The word "Bhai" means brother.

In my country, we usually address the bosses as sir or ma'am. Even if they are not teachers or professors, we still call them like this.

When i had a job, i referred to my boss as sister and her first name. This is because she treated us like a sister and i also saw her as an elder sister.
