Bosses admitting that there's a problem? Only in one's dreams.
Most of my supervisors, both in industry and academe, saw themselves as perfect as only those who were perfect became supervisors.
At the place where I used to teach, my last supervisor and I had an on-going dispute which lasted several years, a dispute which *he* started and maintained. One year, he conducted a survey in our department about his management style. The questions were posed in such a way that the results could only portray him in the best terms. Mark Twain's observations on statistics were, thereby, verified.
