Now that I am working with super-nice bosses, I find it awkward since I am so used to rough treatment. 

In a way, I am glad as well. (Of course!)

If I work with a boss who has a tendency to lash out and emotionally labile, I will be on my toes.  I will swallow my pride and take it all in.  But soon my emotions will overflow, and I will not care, because day by day I will have episode of 'kecil hati' that eventually I become 'heartless.'  No, not to patients though: a small section of my heart is still well-perfused enough to accomodate them.

Now that I am working with bosses who treat me as a part of the team and not just a messenger-cum-phlebotomist, I feel my heart thumping again.  I try to minimize my boss's work on my part.  And I am actually revising!

To those who say being nice is counter-productive to your subordinates, I beg to differ.
