50 Bosses To Put In The Hall Of Fame Of The Most Aggravating Superiors

If anyone doesn't know, "bless your heart" is code for "Wow! You really are a tw@twaffle, aren't you?"

I worked for an attorney who bounced six of my paychecks and used to throw files at me. Ironically he was a personal injury and workers' comp lawyer.

Good, what a creep of a boss

Years ago... Worked in an office. Everyone had a primary responsibility, and then a secondary one where they would be backup to another person's primary. Sue was covering for Fred while he was on vacation. She was ok doing his job, but it wasn't something she was an expert in. And since Fred was gone, of course everything hit the fan and Sue was swamped trying to get it fixed. Well, we also had a big project going on. And at the next project meeting, Boss asked Sue about her progress on her portion. She said she hadn't had time to work on it, because of the issues in Fred's area. Boss starts laughing and says "hear that, everyone? I guess we'll just have to reschedule the project because SUE doesn't have time to work on it!"

I'm sure you can find a "current thing" flag emoji for that. You've collected all the others

If that's America, I'm pretty sure it's illegal. Either way, it's sh1tty.

Yes, it's absolutely illegal!

That's disgusting. A few pound, euro, dollars whatever and you take it from the people who actually deserve it! You deserve to be named shamed and made pay it back and give them a raise. You miserable bastard

We always give the tip directly to the waiter/waitress and never leave it on the table.

I love the "menu pricing will go up and everybody suffers". No, everybody benefits. Boss sets fair price to cover all expenses including salaries, customers know what they're going to pay, servers know what they're going to earn... who exactly is suffering?

You know, some bosses actually pay their employees. Crazy concept, am I right?? #Mindblower

Yeah, he can’t even ask how an employee gets to work, can he?

I take public transportation, and I am 99 percent on time than my co-workers who have a car. The ones who have cars are always 30 mins to 3 hours late. Sometimes they don't show up at all.

While this is absolutely discrimination, unfortunately he’s not entirely wrong that public transportation is more unreliable than personal transportation. That being said, 💩 can happen anywhere at any time (unusual traffic, car/bus breaks down, get into an accident, road closures, weather, etc). The easy way to fix this is just to be compassionate and understanding, especially if you’re responsible enough to inform them as soon as there’s a problem, not after you’re supposed to be at work. Employers can be flexible with hours if you’re running late and allow you to make up the time later or they could just let it go as long as the work is done and it doesn’t happen regularly or they could allow you to start your day if you arrive early (i.e. if your usual hours are 9-5 and you get there at 8:45 they could allow you to leave at 4:45 or just pay you the extra 15 minutes).

Sick

If the boss didn't have any workers to manage, then there would be no employment for him either.

Most likely the boss doesn't want this going on anyway.

Yeah, cry me a river, thief.

Bet they were yt woman’s tears

Screw your “amazing experience”

So lying to the customer gives them an amazing experience?

What would be AMAZING is if you provided your employees with the uniforms appropriate to their health and comfort, including jackets if necessary. 🤨

I guarantee you'll provide a better experience if your employees are actually comfortable

I that case, I think the boss should man the window for a while. Maybe when they develop pneumonia they'll have a different point of view. What an "amazing experience" that will be!

Cruel and unfeeling

How dare Grandpa die!

Something very similar happened to me. I was at a relatively new job about 3 or 4 months when a close, but not immediate family member passed and I was afraid to even ask to take off given how poorly they had been treating me thus far. Less than a month later my grandmother passed and I couldn’t bear to miss her funeral. I apologized profusely and took what I thought was a bereavement day. Two months later it was a religious holiday, so they couldn’t say no to taking off, especially as by this point I had accrued some PTO, or so I thought… they had charged the day I took for the funeral and wanted to dock my pay for the holiday. I vehemently disagreed that this was unfair and they eventually agreed to give me the paid day off. I was let go a few weeks later with zero recourse 🤦‍♀️

This is one where I wouldn't ask off I would say I will not be there. Let the chips fall where they may.

pro tip. Don't give an ultimatum, if you are not willing to accept either outcome, and be very cautious of what your are putting on the line, and what will happen if someone calls your bluff... In an employee/employeer relationship, it is very often the case that both parties need each other. So trying to make an employee comply with your crazy requirement by threatening to fire them, cam very well end up backfirering badly - Especially when it is your top performer, who can easily go and get a better job somewhere else. There are many cases of stupid bossed who do not realise this in here, and who had their companies come crashing into the ground as consequence. Don't make that mistake, as it can cost millions of dollars to p**s of a key employee.

You sure it was an accident?

Can tell he's a line cook just from him using "heard." haha

But you can't argue with that boss's assessment of his own mental capacity.

Imagine you're paying someone so little that they're desperate enough to go through the garbage to find food and then to see them going through the garbage as the problem.

In France, it is now illegal to throw away good food (i think this goes for supermarkets and restaurants). Everything that isn't needed has to be donated.

That's horrible. If I found out one of my employees was struggling to afford food I'd buy them some. When did people start completely losing their compassion?

Just wow. And the freaking attitude towards an employee is something else as well. You can't SEE the actual problem here?

How dare a cashier sit! Why, next they're going to want bathroom breaks!

It doesn't even make sense, the cashiers at Aldi scan faster than you can put things back on your trolley but they somehow manage it while sitting down. I really wonder if this kind of thing is just a power trip for the boss.

“We don’t allow you to sit at this job. You should go work at Aldi, they treat their employees better.”

They just stuck up an advert for Aldi.

Well there's nobody faster at the register than Aldi cashiers
