Sometimes you are lucky and get a boss who you find easy to get along with and sometimes you are doomed when everyday at the workplace is a nightmare for you….simply because your boss is a little bit loony.
Here are several confessions of employees who’ve suffered in the hands of their bosses
Confession 1: I am the boss and I like to type of pink slips without anyone’s name on it and just randomly leave it in the printer or somewhere around the office like it’s a draft or something. It cracks me up to see everyone looking around wondering who’s going to get fired.
Confession 2: I had a boss who used to stand by the clock. So I, along with all of my co-workers, needed to be at work at 8:00 AM sharp. And he would stand there and watch people file into the office. Now we all would panic because he would also, watch the second hand as it counted down. I dreaded being at the end of the line because as soon as the clock turned to 8:01 AM you were considered late! If it happened more than a couple of times he would send you home without pay for that day.
Confession 3: My ex boss was an egotistical, maniacal, idiot with an “Inferiority complex!” We both had the same “first name” yet he never seemed to be able to remember mine! He once forced two of his Managers to take their shoes off and place them on the wrong feet to make a point about having the wrong people in the wrong assignments! He did this in front of Associates, humiliating the Managers and causing them to lose their Associate’s respect
Confession 4: My worst boss owned a printing company. He was trying to attract a new client. The client was a catholic seminary. The day before the client visit, my boss hung up crosses all over the company from the front door to the bathrooms
Confession 5: My last promotion entitled me to two new departmental benefits: a chair with arms and a bigger cubicle. Since I didn’t see the need to disrupt my life and move another employee for 4 MORE INCHES, I declined the larger space. I was very comfortable where I was. But my Boss wouldn’t let it die. He got maintenance workers to ‘reconstruct’ my area. When the work was done, my Boss stopped by. With a big grin on his face he said “Now this is more befitting of your new status.”
Confession 6: Last week my Boss discovered the motivational quote “Only in the dictionary does SUCCESS come before WORK”. He ordered a large banner for our work area with an “improved” version of the quote. The banner reads: “Only in the dictionary does SUCCESS come before HARD WORK”.
Your turn……Have you had a share of a ‘crazy’ boss before?
