You know what, I've gotta say, that has got to be one of the worst situations. I'm not a feminist but it really is shocking to see things like that still happening. I don't know about 'death to all men' but I hope you get him back in a work-related kind of way!

I loved my job & all of the people I worked with, with the exception of one -my egotistical boss. So I had to quit before I went up on murder charges. She was on some sort of corporate power trip. In her eyes, you were either a mgr. (to be respected & revered) or a mindless grunt (to be threatened into doing her bidding). If I pointed out a discrepancy & made a suggestion on how to fix it, it was always viewed as complaining & her reaction was always to threaten to fire me. But if some higher up had the same suggestion, then it was important that I get it done right away! She's have me do her work behind the scenes for her & then shamelessly take the credit for it. I know because she'd attack me out of the blue saying "Drop everything, I need this ASAP to present in a meeting tomorrow!" She gave me unrealistic deadlines & I'd work late & during lunch to try & complete them. If I failed, I'd say sorry, I couldnt do it that fast & she'd reply "That's ok, it isnt REALLY due for 2 more weeks" & then she'd giggle. She'd give me rediculous, time-wasting work assignments & then later ask why I was doing them. If I said because you asked me to, she'd say "No I didnt". She'd have me call her during meetings so she could yell at me in front of her mgr. about how busy she was & how I was not to interupt her during meetings! I got so sick of the mental abuse that one morning I went in, typed up my resignation notice (effective immediately) then left before anyone could say anything to me. I'm a good worker, experienced, contientious & loyal. So why do I have to quit my job just because I wound up working for such a thankless bully. Doesnt seem fair that she keep her job & I lose mine. I think she thought I was desperate for the dough, so I'd be willing to put up with any level of BS to keep my job. I'm not THAT desperate! Luckilly, my husband said quit that job & stay home. Your health & sanity are more important. I'll support you. But I'm still irked about it. Thanks for letting me rant

She took over "her shop" even though it's owned by a multi million company and "turned it around" cos they lowered the targets.
She bullied me from the start, not liking how I could possibly be at the same level as her as I was so much younger. Jealousy is one of her big problems!
She has her own HR policy - basically her way or the highway. Tells employees to f*ck off and not to come back on the phone if they call in sick and she doesn't believe their story.
She puts through hours wrong on payroll to save her budget - underpaying employees so she can get more bonus.
She made her 6month pregnant deputy lift heavy boxes to do deliveries, work 12 hour shifts and put her through as unpaid for her antenatal appointments. "They didn't have that risk assessment nonsense when she was pregnant". Poor girl is off sick now cos she can't cope anymore and is too scared to put in a formal complaint. She bullies the other staff cos she knows they're too young to think about going any higher.
She is a b*tch. She is toxic. Pretends she likes you and the first chance she gets is talking about your behind your back. She gives staff tasks that she knows they can't do so she can have a go.
Thanks for this, I feel much better now!

I wanted to vent about the “Director of Sales Operations” and his flunky “Customer Support Manager”, We’ll call the Director Mr. Blacque (not real name) and the Manager Stephen (not real name). I wanted to go on about how those two Tool’s hire a complete department of customer support personnel to run a 24 hour support center and are so retarded that they couldn’t even make it work. So now my company has outsourced 40 U.S. jobs to the Philippines. (I despise outsourcing) Then, I wanted to say that in my entire life I have never met two people that were such a waste of skin, how Stephen spends most of his time surfing the web and talking about World of Warcraft and Mr. Blacque lives to play war video games on line ( these are grown men 30 years +). I’m not knocking gamers. I wanted to say how much I hate the way the two rude bastards feel the need to bellow out peoples names from across the office when they want to speak with them, why not just whistle for them like dogs? There are so many things that I wanted to vent about these two “Slimy f**king walrus looking f**king pieces of shit” but I have concluded this.
It is not those two tool’s fault it is the CEO of the company (we’ll call him HP) fault. who not only hired those two things, but also continues to employ them. For a company whose slogan is “Always find your way”, they are truly lost.

I hate my boss. When he took over my department a year ago, he was a lost and clueless victim of layoffs and mergers. I did everything for him. I went to meetings with him and told him what to say. He would look at me whenever he spoke to see if I was nodding yes to him - because he had no clue! He was so nice and sweet and appreciative to me. He treated me like his new best friend. And we worked happily together. Turn the clock forward a year, and he doesn't need me anymore. Gone is all the appreciation, the friendliness, the kindness. He was a FAKE! A PHONY! It shouldn't surprise me. It's the oldest story in the world. But he is deliberately being mean to me, chewing me out all the time over nothing, criticizing me in public, belittling me. He gave all my responsibilities away. Every time I speak in a meeting he takes me aside after and chews me out. He told me never to use the word "want" in a meeting because it's not about what anyone "wants", it's about the solution blah blah. What a blithering psycho mother-fucker. It's not about "want" - right, you believe whatever the fuck you "want", asshole. It's one thing to not need me and push me aside, but to use constant verbal attacks and public put downs to try to establish dominance over me is just sick bullshit. I just hate that fucker. I really hate that mother.

I really need to vent about my awful boss. She is the kind of person who like to humiliate me (assistant) to make herself feel good. I do all of her work and my work on top of it. I originally was working with two supervisor's as their assistants until she decided to take me away from him and use my solely for her purposes. All day she wants to sit around and talk about her life, family, friends, and money. She wants me to just shower her with compliments and tell her how much i just love being her assistant (As i waste all day hearing this shit). THEN when something comes up, it is all my fault. I have gotten so many compliments from the CEO about how i have really made some positive improvements so i KNOW i am not doing a bad job...shes just a witch!
She LOVES being a boss. She makes me answer her phone saying im her assistant (my job is not a personal assistant). When we are having a meeting and i begin to talk (I work directly with customers, she doesn't, so i sometimes know more about issues that are going on) she will look at me and go SHHUSH!! as i am in the middle of my sentence to not listen to what i am saying and make me look like an idiot. Sometimes when those things happen I imagine saying all these bad words to her and walking out.
The weird thing is, she thinks we are like friends and she can get away with treating me like this but i am really looking for a new job and i can not wait to see her face when i tell her!
She does NOTHING, i do EVERYTHING, and i have to pretend like i LIKE HER!

This is my first posting. I am working at home on a beautiful sunny Saturday and just got another insulting email from my boss. One of my co-workers suggested I join ihatemyboss.com and post a message, assuring me it would help get the venom out of my system. I have a boss who has never once in four years has said "Thank you" or let me know I am appreciated in any manner. Knowing I would have to work yet another weekend for him, he stood in my door on a Friday and said, "Have a good weekend - oh wait, you'll be stuck here working all weekend. I won't. Ha ha ha! Have fun!" What a jerk! Okay, I have vented and now I can stop thinking about what a troll he is, and get back to work so I can finish my project and spend my time in my newest favorite pasttime - filling out applications and sending resumes to get a new job. Someday I'll move on and he will still be a troll!

I had a boss like that too. A real slacker. Only when her lover at work was not available to her did she act like she wanted to work. Even then, she would realize how far she was behind in work and try to push everyone else about work she had missed. If you were on task, then she would try to micro manage and suggest stupid ideas on how to improve like giving more of your time to the company but not getting paid for it so that it looks like all this work is being done during normal business hours. Oh yeah, she would take that credit too. A real a$$ Hole for sure.

My boss thinks that she is the best and she owns everyone. She give us her project that the CEO gives her. She also gives us all her dumb projects and all she does is sit her fat squared ass in her office and doesnt do nothing. She cant do anything even though she is required to know everything as a branch manager. She also puts down all the employees and has a cold heart. many of us believes that she doesnt belong here.

My boss is such a LOSER.
I have never had a boss who has no motivation. He calls in sick all the time and acts like having a cold is being at death's door.
He is s CHEAP, PARASITE......... He cannot afford a car and leaches on to me to get rides for lunch. He won't even pay .25 cents for the parking meter. He is a cheap tipper or tries to use my share of the tip to cover his part. He NEVER carries any cash and begs me to bring him sometime back for lunch (if he isn't whining to intrude on my lunch plans)
He thinks he is so cool and hip and he makes me LITERALLY ILL to look at him. He looks like a cross btw Fred Flintstone and Shaggy from Scobby Do with glasses.
I HATE THIS LOSER.

My boss is the owner of the company and is psychotic, eccentric and super insecure. He doesn't need to have much to do with the daily running anymore, so to make himself feel 'in control' he comes in and fires perfectly good workers at will. He has no idea of who does what or how good and dedicated people actually are. he bases everything he thinks on the few snippets of information he gets and often just what he feels like believing. He came in at random the other day yelling like a banchee saying how we're all the worst office and workers and he does all the work around here (WHATEVER!!!) - we have customers constantly praising every area of the business and all of us are focussed on customer service more than anything else! I'm one of the supervisors but he wont listen to a word i say. i can be agreeing with him and he'll still come back sledging me becuase he wants a fight. today after cutting the roster back to the absolute bare minimum (forcing me to make a full time worker part time - she'll probably quit ), i had to go in and talk to him with someone else - who he thanked for their work and totally ignored me (wouldn't even look at me) for the whole meeting. Noone knows my department as well as i do and everyone else in the company knows that and if he spoke to me like a human being id be as happy to work with him as i am with everyone else -I'm not a confrontational person but he has me wanting to yell at him till i'm black and blue coz he JUST WONT LISTEN TO ME!!!!!!!!!!
