'I know all kinds of dirt on employees, past and present': 25+ Employee 'secrets' that bosses always notice

No matter what you're doing on that work laptop, your boss definitely knows about it. Take that as a word of warning if you're up to shady business or thinking about applying to other jobs on your office computer!

In the days before cameras were plastered everywhere, you probably could get away with a lot. But as the bosses who commented below know, even without cameras, they have eyes in the back of their heads. The walls have ears! As one boss mentioned, they can hear everything their employees say, from office gossip to whining about bosses and tasks.

Some bosses don't mind if their employees slack a little bit, as long as they're getting their work done in a timely manner. Others actually do care, and want you to have every moment accounted for. As an employee, it's easier to work for the first type of boss, rather than a micromanager who doesn't seem to trust you to handle any task on your own.

My least favorite kind of boss is the kind who insist that if you have "time to lean, you have time to clean." Hearing that immediately makes me lose respect for you — and rest assured, the cleaning will be half-hearted at best. There will still be leaning, just while cleaning and wishing for the shift to come to a close at the same time.

Next up, this Karen IT director tried to overstep her bounds and acted unprofessional towards her employees — and then she accidentally deleted some extra important files.
