Funnily, he used to fawn all over his boss. It was embarrassing.

Sounds a bit like sas. He is so far up his supervisor's arse he can almost see his line manager's ankles!!

Mental health charity Mind carried out the research and said many men work in industries where a "macho culture" exists which may prevent them from talking about their feelings.

Some of us know how to build human relationships, although it is of course important to recognise when your punter is a narcissist, sociopath or similar type.

Maybe. I did go permie three years ago, but handed in my notice after three months, as I was working for a complete nutjob. Funnily, he used to fawn all over his boss. It was embarrassing. Anyway, I went contracting again and stole their client.

But usually, it's not so black and white. You have to play the game a bit and build relationships. And at the same time you need to do the right thing and deliver to the best of your ability.

Indeed - and I always do.

However in some companies as I am sure you are aware the ability to do the job appears to come second to the ability to suck up to your boss.

The article is bull tulip

Trying to make out that your boss gives a tulip about you for anything other than what you can do to make them look good and earn their bonus is naive thinking.

It's probably all the fault of feminazis hen-pecking men.
