Honchos

Honchos - (plural, noun) slang for in charge, manager, boss.

I have spent 18 years working as a corporate slave to various kinds of honchos. I have dealt with honchos from hell and have met honchos from heaven. There were some who really make my heart palpitate not out of fear but out of anger. There were those who believed in me too. The ratio was not promising. It was more of 98% weird and terrible honchos compared to the few who left an indellible mark in my view on work (and life). I thank those who did go out of their way to mentor me and instill commendable work ethics which I practice up to this day. They are the kind of honchos who should be leading the work force - unbiased, considerate, "respectful," can motivate people, gentle and most important of all, God-fearing . They are one-of-a-kind breed of honchos which are becoming extinct.
I still long to see one of those endangered honchos in the present. I am tired dealing with honchos who see "color" and are rude and mean. They need some training on dealing with people. Pronto!!! Or companies will lose valuable employees not because of work but because of these honchos.

You are sooo correct on this Ria...these so-called "Honchos" need training on People Skills too. I mean how could they have become bosses and how could they have reached their stature with the kind of attitude they have? Life in the corporate world is a mystery(?) and a dog-eat-dog race... I have had the opportunity of having bosses who were really great and I should say that they have continued rising up the corporate ladder but those other honchos they just fall down and slide... Have a great weekend Ria!

Hey Ria.. This is a great post.. I had few 'feeling god' honchos before. I couldn't stand them so I handed my resignation.

However some were superb and great 'honchos' that tapped the best of me.. They were few remarkable 'honchos' only..

I had one Honcho who was wonderful but can't say much for the rest of them. I hope you find an endangered Honcho soon. YOu are funny!
