15 Funny Questions to Ask Your Boss
Your boss is only human (we hope) and they have a life outside of work as-well.
While we always encourage a “professional environment“, sometimes it’s nice to relax a bit and ask some funny and personal questions to build rapport.
That’s why we’re going to go over funny questions to ask your boss.
We have a small disclaimer below, but hope that these questions will help you build a better relationship with your manager.
