My first boss was a gruff fellow prone to yelling who had an imposing physique and a demeanor that radiated being in charge. He was not, and presumably is not, someone an entry-level college student, which I was at the time, spoke to unless invited.
In the years since, I've had bosses ranging from thoughtful to full of rage, as well as micro-managers and ones who barely seemed to know I existed. I've generally gotten along with whoever I worked for, partially because no matter what type of boss you have, there are certain rules to follow, at least at first.
