Japanese bosses that make you want to quit

goo Ranking conducted another entertaining survey, this time looking at what features of one?s boss makes one want to switch departments or otherwise change jobs.

Demographics

Over the 5th and 6th of October 2012 1,064 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.2% of the sample were female, 10.5% in their teens, 13.7% in their twenties, 26.6% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 11.7% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

I?ll use ?him? throughout the survey as managerial posts are overwhelmingly staffed by males, and anyway most of the complaints sound like they are about men, not women.

Fortunately I don?t have a boss who suffers from 5, both 7s, 9, 11, 14, 17 to 22, and 27, if you catch my drift. Here?s the best BOSS in Japan:
