> IE9 is an amazing step-up from IE8 so far and I think we should all be patting them on the back.

A boss once told me "you don't get rewarded for doing your job - you get paid." :)



Sure, but you don't work for that guy anymore, do you?


Heh, no. And he was a major factor in my resignation. We were all pretty sure he fit the clinical definition of psychopath.


My boss screamed at his phone today. I wondered if he realised he'd just set all the employees on edge and lost maybe 2+ person-hours of work for the rest of the day - traded for the momentary release of an angry outburst.

Similarly, your boss might have been technically correct, but a boss who would rather be right, make a point and potentially knock your morale, than boost your morale for free should really be rethinking his approach, IMO.
