I have no idea how the norms and expectations of your culture compare to mine. So I couldn't hazard a guess of an answer. How else might you compliment your boss? But I think asking folks not familiar with the cultural norms you operate within is misguided. | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 11:00 | comment | added | Maulik V | For example, I share a very common relationship with my boss. Just 'hi, hello' etc. And I'm appreciating him for his task. I think it'll be then improper to greet it that way. What say? @δοῦλος | |

But it is also possible you knew or know the guy from some other context (church or bowling team), or worked for him before, or vice versa, so again: it depends on the relationship you have with your boss, and, as a second factor, the personality types involved. | |
