"He wore blue jean trousers, a flannel shirt, a black, unbuttoned vest and a black coat. His thumbs were stuck in his belt, on each side of a square steel buckle. On his head was a soiled brown Stetson hat, and he wore high-heeled boots and spurs to prove he was not a laboring man."

Would you be happy to have this person as your boss? |
This quote gives a clear physical description of the boss. He is still of the working class (he is wearing denim); however, he has more money, or power (shown through his hat, boots, and spurs).
"The boss turned on George. 'Then why don't you let him answer? What you trying to put over?'"
The boss doesn't trust many people. He thinks that it is odd that George and Lennie are friends and is going off of experiences in the past. His first impression is probably his only impression of people.
"'...I got my eye on you...'"
When the boss says this to George he says it in a way that kind of says 'I don't trust you'. The boss probably doesn't trust anybody other than himself.
