First off, your boss is not your problem, but your employer's problem. You are neither required, not empowered to deal with it.


1, 2, 3: Congratulations are insulting, unless they are accompanied by cash rewards. Why train your boss in being insulting (even more)? Obviously, leading by example is pretty much out of the question either. Saving one's money (or playing lottery), and paying it to oneself in front of the boss doesn't make much sense, does it?

4: Well, duh!

5: Accidentally? Are you nuts? No manager falls in this role accidentally. Falling into management role requires a lot of diligent pushfulness.

6: You're kidding, right?

7: That's brown nosing, not sympathy.

8, 9, 10: That's boss's job, not yours.
