Im sorry...

One who is not behind your ass all the time.

My boss is knowledgeable, leaves us alone as long as work is getting done. And last but not least will back developers in his team against disputes with customers and management.

One attribute of a good boss: effective shit umbrella.

I had two weeks off once, and when I walked back into the office for the first time, I passed my bosses office and his door was open. He was screaming, yelling and cursing on the phone and he called the guy on the other line a moron. This lasted for 20 minutes.

I turned to my co-worker and said, "well it's good that nothing changed since I've been gone". He does this all the time.

Good attitude, asks you to solve an issue instead of shouting at you for it. A person who isn't up your ass checking every minute if the code is done and commited.

It's a myth, good and boss are words that do not belong together
