Why Your Boss Pretends to Like You

Your employer doesn’t like you. Really.
They don’t hate you either.
They confuse you into thinking that they like you as a person and like having you around. And who wouldn’t believe them when they shower you with praise, gifts, and compliments. Sometimes they’ll tell you that “we’re like family here” or “we care about you”. Awesome. For them that is.
They need your skills and hard work to get the project done.
