Boss reaction with there employees

Bosses have mood swings like everyone. So before you do anything to fix the problem, try to determine why your supervisor shows so little interest in work.
It's possible the boss is dealing with a temporary situation such as a marital issue that will eventually pass, says Katherine Crowley, the co-author of "Working for You Isn't Working for Me."
But there's also the likelihood that something more serious is going on with his or her job. Some bosses lose interest because they're being pushed out, while others get so fed up that they can't put any more energy into their work.
Try to ask discreet questions to find out what's going on.
"You really need to dig deep and see," says Lynn Taylor, a workplace consultant. "They may just be more forthcoming than you might imagine."

Boss was burned out

NEW YORK - Your boss shows up late, sneaks out early, ignores e-mails and winces at work-related questions.
Sound familiar? Many managers are burned out from trying to get more work done with fewer staffers and resources. Some have even stopped caring.
That can frustrate employees who can't get questions answered, are waiting in vain for decisions to be made and feel like the workplace is in limbo.
