Survey on Sleeping with Bosses Launched

A new survey on sleeping with bosses has been launched at bad-boss help site, Badbossolgy.com.

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 3, 2006 -- A new survey on sleeping with bosses has been launched at bad-boss protection site Badbossology.com (http://www.badbossology.com). "We are announcing the launch of this fully anonymous survey now to get the maximum number of responses," said Ian Donen, Badbossology.com Co-Founder.

The new survey question is "Have you ever slept with your boss to gain favor?" and the question's six potential answers along with results to date are available at: http://www.badbossology.com. Participation in the survey is completely anonymous, and individuals do not need to register at the site to complete it.

In addition, results from the recently completed survey of 2,343 participants regarding their ability to protect themselves from difficult bosses are being released today. Specifically, when asked how they would rate their ability to protect themselves from a bad boss, of the 2,343 people who completed the Badbossology.com survey: 34% rated themselves as poor; 26% rated themselves as fair; 18% rated themselves as good; 14% rated themselves as very good; and 8% rated themselves as excellent.

Badbossology.com itself provides material in an intuitive, blog-style user interface. It highlights material from sources such as The Chicago Tribune, CNNMoney.com, Fast Company, and The Harvard Business as well as US and international government sites. The comprehensive resource topics include: "Email, Internet and Privacy," Employee Rights & Legal," "Office Politics & Interpersonal," "Strategies & Tactics" and "Workplace Psychology." A comprehensive listing of proven books is also available.

Badbossology.com is completely free and provides several features for users:
- Tell A Friend: visitors can easily email specific news or resource links to a friend or business colleague.
- Vault: users can "bookmark" individual news or resource links along with their own personal notes in a secure repository for fast future reference.
- Discussion Forums: visitors can take part in general discussion forums to post comments and questions for others.

Companies as well individuals can benefit from all of the site's content and especially from the resources for bosses, executives and board members. And the following excerpt from the site reflects its balanced approach: "We want to go on the record about the importance of supporting and acknowledging good bosses. No one is perfect so we shouldn't expect perfection from a boss. Bosses are often juggling numerous and sometimes intense stressors themselves -- some of them we are aware of and often many we are not."

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: "People leave managers not companies ... in the end, turnover is mostly a manager issue." Gallup also found poorly managed workgroups are an average of 50% less productive and 44% less profitable than well managed groups. Corporate leaders can demonstrate their commitment to addressing this problem within their organization and support the site by participating in Badbossology.com's sponsorship program.
