rob Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 The worst thing my boss ever said to me: "Well, I don't think you're ready [to be promoted to management], but I need somebody, so I guess you'll have to do." Wanker. Quote
archenemy Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 My worst boss was at WAMU. I think I sprayed about her. Search for the word "cunt" and that thread may come up. But don't confuse it with the Marylou thread. Quote
RogerJ Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 The worst boss I had was when I was self-employed. -r Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 meet the new boss same as the old boss Quote
Hendershot Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Boss, "Hey I need you to write some credit memos. When I have some time we can go over it" Me, "That's not necessary, just give me the documentation and I will take care of it." Boss, "Well I have it on an Excel spreadsheet, lets' go over it later." Me, "I can read a spreadsheet." The micromanager still went over it with me. Quote

archenemy Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Don't you love it when they stand over your shoulder saying, "click here, open this" a nanosecond before you are about to take that next obvious step. Quote
rob Posted August 30, 2007 Author Posted August 30, 2007 Monday: "This week, I need you to focus on project A" Friday: "Why isn't project B done yet???" Quote
Hendershot Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Did you guys see the movie "Waiting"? The manager there has to be the archtype for the Food Service industry. Quote
ashw_justin Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 So I'm climbing Forbidden yesterday, and my boss is all like "sorry, I couldn't get that nut out." OMG WTF?! Quote
marylou Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 The one that despite you and your team saving them thousands of dollars each year on a recurring annual nine-day event, pulling off time management miracles, and leaving their clients pleased as punch, still repeatedly bereate said team for not getting enough done. This with a very loyal team who continually dazzle the lead (me) with their incredible hard work, ingenuity, and sincere desire to be the best they can be in a very challenging enviromment. The thing that makes it a real sucker punch is that said boss is a very old friend that you used to share good times with, way back in the day when you were both peers. Next year I think I'd rather take the guys to Bali then do this guy any more favors. I honestly wish I could afford to do it, because the old friend is now a maniacal twit who needs to see what it would be like to do the event without us. OK, I'm done ranting. It's only nine days.

archenemy Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Why don't you light your tampon string and blow up your box. Cuz that's the only bang you're going to get Quote
pazzo Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 and there's my boss: "Squamish, or something in the alpine this Tuesday?" Quote
TREETOAD Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 why don't you pay someone to fuck up their car You know sort of a passive agressive move so that you can have a bit of a laugh at their expense. Quote
rob Posted September 2, 2007 Author Posted September 2, 2007 can't I just spray about it on the net? That's pretty passive agressive. Quote
