In western nations, employees address their superiors by their first names. If you addressed your boss by their first name, how would they respond? It is strictly forbidden to approach superiors in this manner in my nation.

As we're here in the Philippines, we usually call them Sir, Boss, Mr. President (depending on the position), and Ma'am, Madam, etc. (for women).
That's true it's how we address our boss in Philippines. I call my boss ma'am or madam for males Sir or Architect or Engr. If a lawyer we call Atty.

In our nation, "sir" is often used in all businesses. Employees in certain companies can address their supervisors by name if they so want.

I address my superior Mayor. In my previous work I address my superior sir. I worked for A leasing company before it's a multinational company and we call each other by our nicknames even the superior.

It depends on the relationship between the boss and the worker
Some call the boss, daddy, mummy and so on.

It really depends on where you work as to how you address your boss in the workplace. Some bosses are pretty laid back and will allow you to address them on a first-name basis but others would rather you addressed them as Miss, Mrs, Ms, or Mr along with their surname. I find that retail is the more laid-back one where you can address your boss by their name.

I call my new boss by her name, that is what she wants the subordinates to call her by her name. She does not like a formality. She is so okay, young, and talented boss. We feel at ease and happy doing work with her.
