This is a part of the MNC culture. The corporate world. I have heard it zillion times either when my colleagues would discuss it among themselves or talk to me on same lines..."What did your Boss say?", "My Boss is late", "It's difficult to get Boss on the same page", "My Boss won't agree", "His Boss was being unreasonable" ... etc.
I cannot get myself to address my reporting manager as "Boss", I also found it difficult to comprehend the reason as to why do my friends, colleagues address their reporting managers as Boss? Factually, it's unfathomable for me & I personally believe it's absolutely ludicrous of them to do so.
Boss, by definition, is the owner of an organization. Boss could be the owner(sole proprietor), or one of the partners with the majority stakeholding in the firm. Boss is someone who does not take orders from anyone.
I just don't understand why do people address an ordinary salaried employee(just like themselves) as Boss?
The intent is not to disrespect someone. We do give the immediate senior or those above us in the hierarchy his/her share of respect by addressing him/her as Sir/Ma'am.
But unless you are talking to the Owner, Founder, Co-Founder of an organization, I believe, it would not be appropriate to address the individual as BOSS !!!
