  • Let us know about it!
    Got a favorite boss story?  What about quirks or idiosyncrasies?  Maybe you just need to get some anger off your chest.  Hey its either that or let it fester within the bowels of your soul!  

    Jeremy writes... My former boss would call a last minute 1+ hour meeting to discuss how another upcoming meeting should flow.  Then he wondered why things would not get in time.  It used to drive me nuts.

    James writes… Our Company was in the middle of negotiations with a Chinese company involving a joint venture. We all knew in advance that a surprise visit from the Chinese was possible. One day, we were all working away when our boss runs into the room, arms a flailing, and screaming, “The Chinese are coming, The Chinese are coming, The Chinese are coming!”

    We all busted a gut as we watched him continue his quest down the hall.

    “Ok”, one of the fellows said, “Don’t shoot till you see the whites in their eyes”. Paul Revere would have been proud

    I knew he was creepy because I handled the IT at work and his daily "downloads" got to be so bad that it would clog up our server's site and stop all the office from getting e-mails. I would have to log in our bellsouth host site and delete the 300-400 e-mails that were all porn so the rest of us can receive our e-mail.

    My family and i went to florida for spring break and I brought my pictures to work to show everyone. i let the girls in the office see all the pictures and then pulled our any beach pictures that had me in a bathing suit before letting the men in the office see the pictures. the three that I pulled out I put in my desk drawer where I put my purse.

    At the end of the day, I gathered my stuff up and noticed one of the three pictures was missing. I asked the girl who I share an office with if she seen it and she said no but "joe" was in my desk while I was at lunch but she thought he was looking for a paper.

    YUCK!

    I confronted my boss and of course he denied seeing the picture. I convinced myself that it was just missed placed and left for the day. the next day I was working on quarterly taxes and went to leave the papers to be signed on "Joe's" desk before I left for lunch. just for peace of mind, I opened his desk drawer and found my picture! It was one of me and my son sitting on the beach but the picture had been folded in half so he was on the back.

    YUCK!

    I grabbed the picture and sent an e-mail to my co-workers saying I quit and to ask Joe if any further questions. I hated leaving like that but I was so creeped out, I could not think of another option. so do i win the creepest boss award or what!
