The old stereotype about boss loathing may not be entirely true—or at the very least, it's loathe-love. Contrary to popular belief, employees don't relish time away from their bosses, according to two recent OfficeTeam surveys, one of 492 office workers ages 18 and older, the other of 150 senior executives from the largest companies in the U.S. Nearly half (48 percent) of workers polled say their jobs would be more difficult if they did not work in the same office as their supervisors. Of this group, 27 percent feel it would be much more difficult. Similarly, 58 percent of managers surveyed say it is important that all staff members work in the same location.
Employees were asked, "In your opinion, would it make your job easier or more difficult if you reported to a manager who didn't work in the same location as you?"
