I think Good pay with bad boss is ok with me, as at the end of the dayt its the money that what matters the most which will take care of your bills and take care of your childrens education in future, but bad pay with good boss what is the use of it......what is the point of getting recognition but which is not benefitting to you financially.

I support bad pay with a good boss. Otherwise, with a bad boss, you have to carry home all the tensions.

Do we really have the luxury of choosing "roti, kapra aur makan" or they are just said words by some stupid moron and it laid hidden in books. Make life simple and live it, as we all have got only one life...:)

Guys, let me give my own example. I was blessed with the best of bosses (not one but everyone) in my 21 years of working in a Government department and a Nationalised Bank. I produced wonderful systems and packages. Contributed my best. Even today, I am remembered in my ex-Bank for the systems I architected ( we develop -ed our own systems ).

But financial?  With my savings, I could not think of dreaming big comforts for my children (I was a Senior Manager).  Realization came although a little late.  And so here I am.

Guys, I am not saying that you should put up with a bad boss for a good pay.  Search for another job in that case.  But bad pay with good boss?  You will have my experience.

Search for both a good boss and a good pay.  There are plenty of openings out there - what with India as well as the world shining.

If according to you, you are paid good, it motivates you all the time irrespective of any kind of treatment from boss.One always feel that he is paid enough to tolerate his/her boss.

Bosses are never good rarely do we find that people are comfortable with their bosses. just like we cannot choose our parents and sibling the same way we cannot pick our bosses to our liking. Good boss or bad boss the pay should be good.Mostly what we see is that even if the pay is good ant the boss isn't people donot mind as what really matters is good pay at the end of the month not good boss.

Hi friends, I feel the money which we take home at the end of the month counts most since majority of people work for money including me. A person who is good for some people may not be same for many other people. Similarly a boss may be good for few of his subordinates where as he is a Hitler for many. A boss who is committed to his job will not spare anybody who wants to spend duty hours without doing much and such subordinates will make propaganda that their boss is not good. In some cases, a boss who is having ulterior motivations, keeping personal agendas and not doing justification to his position can be a good boss only for cunning subordinates but honest and hard working subordinates will not cope up with his activities. An employee who is a master in his field should use his knowledge as his strength and need not bothered about other petty things like good boss or bad boss. If your boss is really troubling you and damaging your financial prospectus in spite of your ability to carry out all your job efficiently, then being a master in your own field you may find job with better prospectus but make sure that reasons for your resignation are brought to higher ups.

Hi,I think you should find another job.Although the boss is good ,but the company can't give the employer good salary ,the company is not good .You should be brave to find another better work,maybe the work can't make you happy,the you can find another.We should get enough money to make a live then we can talk the interest and the happiness.I think the life is very ture.

i prefer bad pay with good boss rather than good pay with bad boss. work environment too matters, money is important but there are things other than money ,a good boss gives you opportunities ,guides you and helps you to learn..but a bad one at the same time can put you under stress and this can affect your performance,and in turn your career

It is always preferrable to work with good boss.

Good boss make the subordinate to mfeel why the has not yet started?

Bad boss makes people feel why the day is starting?

Boss should guide  and counsel in difficultiesinstead of using demotivating and discouraging language.

Money or Boss, what matters to me is what motivates me to get up every morning, get to that desk of mine and start my work with 110% energy. If your boss gives you plenty of opportunities to learn, diversify your experience, that's much more wealth you generate which you can then capitalize anywhere. You certainly cannot get that with a bad boss, not in 1 yr not in 10 yrs.

Bad pay with good boss is correct. If is good, you will mostly feel satisfy in job, yourself etc. When your performance initially good as well as maintain consistency, then assure good boss will pay good after some time. Good boss will give you good opportunity to prove yourself and then good boss will automatically will give you good marks and good pay.

You have made a point, peace of mind is most important for productivity, though both situations are terrible.

Satisfaction is the most important thing in any job, without this it is not possible to carry on for a long time with the same company; even if you are getting good package. After all this is the only factor which keeps you motivating to perform well & so you do.

Money does matter but only to a certain limit. There should be minimum package limit you should keep in your mind but after that work environment, boss & profile etc only matter; which collectively makes you happy and satisfied.

Peace of mind is most important for productivity and development as a professional. A good working environment, a good boss and less of tensions would further creativity and accelerate towards a 100% input. On the other hand, if you have someone on your head all the time, taking the life out of you, what good the money going to do to you. Ya, maybe get you a good anti-depressant or hypertension treatment.

Depends a lot on the organisation. In a co. with strong systems, even a bad boss is okay if pay is good. But in many 'traditional' Indian businesses, a bad boss can make your life hell on a day to day basis, so you get no enjoyment out of a good pay.

HI! My opinion is that the personnel health sooner or later needs a place with a good environment, does not matter so much the kind of boss. But all depends on the power of each employee to master his own reactions and behave in the fields of work. As I am the boss... I may let my employees to comment how am I?!

End of the day, you need to learn at work and have mental peace after return. It told that many people leave managers not companies. Thus at the beginning one may feel first choice but any one with experience will opt this. After all life is NOT MONEY alone, a good manager, a good wife, a good life, and ultimate satisfaction at work

Mam, when someone publishes a study or research it means there is fair amount of truth into it. You just cannot brush off the matter saying it is fake. If so then you should resonate.
Thanks Manish btw many here are too old for this :) MR. Murthy the link of your blog :)
As such I am not satisfied by the sides given. But the question that should be raised is that why should there be an increase. They already have enough what more do they want?
