Despise your boss? Rant here!

[*Amy*]

If you hate your boss, list the reasons why... C'mon get it all out!

My reasons for hating my boss:

- He cusses constantly and then apologizes for it like he really is sorry (ha)
- He constantly talks about how he's on a diet yet he eats out every day
- He says gross things like "OH MAN! You don't want to come in here because I ate chili today!"
- He smells like mildew
- He says rude things about everyone's wife even though he has a horrible relationship with his wife
- He's really cheap and brags about it
- He makes me do his work and then tells people that he did it
- He always talks about how he goes to Rachel's (a strip bar)
- He's sexist and thinks that men should never have to help with laundry, cooking, etc.
- He's loud
- He has the most obnoxious laugh (very loud and wheezy)
- He wore jeans and a white shirt to a co-worker's mom's funeral
- He says weird things like, "if you were a guy I would've just said something, but never mind." and once I asked "where are you going to put that file cabinet?" and he responded with, "you don't want to know where I'm going to put it!"

Okay, seriously...I could go on and on, but probably shouldn't because I'm at work right now.

Okay, your turn! Share your hatred!!

Am I really the only one? Wow, I thought more people didn't like their boss. Is there a way to delete this thread now?

I actually like my boss(es) and am dreading writing my letter of resignation because I'm taking a job in my college town vs home town this year.

Oh, that's not fun. I hate putting in letters of resignation even if I dislike my boss. I always feel bad for other people that work there that are going to have to do my job until they find someone to replace me.

Sorry, my boss is fantastic. No complaints here.

i don't have a boss, but my first boss when i worked at a toy store acted like he was in charge of deploying nuclear weapons or something. seriously.

"ALEX. DO YOU SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE MY LITTLE PONY DISPLAY?"
"uhh...."
"now, aren't we supposed to bring ALL the toys to the front of the shelf and line them up to make it look nicer to the eye."

I don't have a boss unless you consider the school administration my "boss," that's a whole 'nother story...

My boss is actually one of my best friends... we were good friends before she took the management position. I may not always like or agree with all the politics of the work environment, but that's not her doings.. she's just doing what she's told from higher up. So, I can honestly say I don't hate my boss.

I feel bad for you if you have to deal with someone like that being your boss.. that would get on my nerves.

Wow, I've never had a fantastic boss and I've had quite a few even though I'm only 18. I started working when I was 14 and since then, I have not had a decent boss.

:lol-sign: I completely know what that is like.. I had a boss like that when I worked at a furniture store. He yelled at one of the assistant managers because there was one pillow out of place when she closed the store the previous night.

I like my boss

Lucky.

lol! School administration is quite like a boss. They can be evil.

I definitely have never disliked a boss because of their position or "work politics." The reasons I've hated my bosses are because they were ridiculously rude, micro-managers and/or creepy. At least I don't have to deal with my boss for much longer!

I just can't wait until I'm working in my career in a field that I actually enjoy. I think it'll be much different then. Until then, hopefully I can find a different part-time job with someone who is respectful and civil.

I started working about the same time as you, and the three bosses I've had before were pretty terrible. All three sent me home crying more than once.

I just lucked out this time. My boss is always respectful to everyone, treats his employees as well as he does his clients, and, when I called crying last weekend, because I was supposed to go back in that evening and my horse was sick, he went out and did the work for me himself.

A good boss makes all the difference in the world.

That's awesome. He sounds like a nice guy. I hope I someday have a boss that is that great. I would enjoy my job so much better if I had a good boss.

I'm happy to say that I like my boss. He's an absolutely brilliant guy and really believes in teamwork.

Wow, I'm the only one who doesn't. lol

I think people have to be careful what they post on the internet nowadays. If someone hates their boss and posts it on a public forum, there is always the chance that the boss in question will see the post... which does not bode well for the ranting employee!

Which is why, no matter how much I do or do not want to ( ) I can't post on this thread's topic.

Yup, you have to consider that your boss can see everything you do on the web if you surf from their computers. So it wouldn't be hard to go 'chazhound? Hrm let's see what they're looking at...' and divine from there who's who.

But honestly I do like my boss. I work in a vet clinic so there's not even time to surf the web, much less our computers' lack of ability to connect to it lol.
