Imagine being able to say whatever you want to your boss without any repercussions. No demotions, no firings, no suspensions. What would you say?

I'll start: "Stop closing your office door and pretending to work. We all know you're sleeping in there."

I'm not that concerned about my manager. I do my job and leave. As long as my paycheck comes, I'll let my boss' manager deal with my boss. I have better things to deal with.

I would say, "open your eyes and do something about the moral of ee's here." "Too much backbiting, in my opinion."

I love my immediate boss, but her bosses would get something along the lines of "You must have been absent the day God handed out managerial skills."

I wouldn't say anything that I wouldn't already tell him. My current superiors are great.

If I had a problem with him that was so severe I'd want to lash out, I'd simply start looking for another job. No sense in staying somewhere that you're miserable. If I ever feel my boss is wrong about something significant or regarding me, I have no problem pointing it out.

Basically the:

"Listen, xxx is why I don't agree with this, but you are my boss and if you want me to do it, I have no issue doing it."

Same here. I'm not a "yes man" and my boss is not a tyrant; if I disagree about something, I tell him what I think and why (and he knows I'll tell him what I think). Sometimes he changes his mind about something, sometimes he doesn't. At the end of the day my job is to do what the boss expects me to do. I don't agree with every decision he makes, but I certainly respect him as a boss.
