Luckily enough, my current boss understands that he doesn't need to check up on me every day.

What if you were a bad employee, or worse still, what if you had some jackass distracting you from your work? It's the job of management to manage. And I don't mean lurking over your shoulder, but rather simply being aware of what's going on. I'm not just going to sit in my office all day answering phones.
When I manage, I'm kinda like a coach. I show people the ropes, do hand holding for a bit until the team member is ready, and I make sure that the whole team functions well. If I've done my job, when they're playing the big game, I can just sit back and take pride.
Cynth: yes there are situations where firing is tricky or near impossible, but if you know that someone is trouble, you can at least isolate them so that they don't bring the whole place down. It almost seems as if people are suggesting that in GG's situation the management isn't at fault. They really are.
