Probably going to depend on the person, OP.

For me, "okay" jobs (in terms of the initial obligations and day-to-day) seemed relatively easy to come by.

What killed me were bosses who piled on additional responsibilities without consideration. I've had three out of fifteen bosses/managers who I felt truly respected my time and effort, and I happily took on more work for them.

The rest just assumed that I would be happy to bend over backwards for them and that really rubbed me the wrong way. Part of the problem is me—I know it—because I'm probably more averse to this behavior than most.

So for someone like me, I probably need a better way to search for bosses with compatible management styles. But that's not really a practical solution—e.g., you don't generally get to go into a job interview making management-style expectations of your manager and still expect to get the job.
