Those who supervise people have to be cautious about what to say, how to act, and how involved they can get in their employees' lives. Managing such a relationship is definitely a precarious balancing act. But bosses can be friendly even without sitting down with the people they supervise and chatting about the weekend. Bored Panda has collected some of the best examples of boss-employee relationships you would probably like to be a part of, and they definitely seem like the kind that can make work bearable.
