I hate my boss

[free at last]

I'm finally in my last days of working for this insufferable a-hole.
The official word is that he's downsizing into working out of his home, and business has been too slow to keep me on... I have my doubts, since he is a LIAR, but overall, I'm just so damn happy to be free of him! Understand he is not only a liar, but also a bully, and with NO personal or professional ethical standards. The creed by which he lives is "Rules do not apply to me until I get caught, and then they still don't because rules are for peasants, and I'm just better than everyone else." That, paired with his stalker tendencies, had me worried about how he would react when I decided to quit. I would not put it past him to come knocking on my door.
So I may just be the happiest person to be fired today! And the little kick of karma is just icing on the cake:
He's being audited as I'm leaving- How's that motto serving you now, boss? HAHAHAA!!!
And he makes mention of still "using" me to update the website, or calling me back when business picks up again, etc.-- HA yeah right- once that door opens, I'm running through and stopping only to lock and barricade it behind me.
It's like leaving a bad marriage, surprisingly similar, which just goes to show the boss's complete lack of professionalism, and realizing how really unhappy I have been for the past 2 years, though it shows clearly enough when I look in a mirror- I'm skinny, pale, and pinched-looking, and a good deal older as well.
The douche prefaced the telling me by saying he really hoped I wouldn't run out of the office crying... HA AGAIN!! I mean, really. Once the initial shock and panic of being fired ran their course, it was all I could do not to do a happy dance down the halls! The only thing remotely bothering me about all of this is that I'm pretty sure he's going to screw me out of the commissions coming for the projects we've been working on for the past 2 months, that may have influenced the timing of this whole thing, and he may still try some nasty shit on my way out, but none of that can kill the joy of finally being free!

my boss is a f****** c***, I hate him, he's a narcisstic, manipulating knobend who knows everything, is on a complete power trip, he's a workaholic who expects everyone in his team to do the same then gives us shit when/if we do not. He's a tightarse racist and even his wife hates him, she describes herself as a single mother, f*** what a tosser, I feel sorry for his 2 kids but they are little shits too, he cares about himself only and watch out if you're in the way, mental torment and stress are his weapons of choice, he's an old fashioned bully that no-one has beaten up, he thinks he's smart but only has a good memory, man he is not smart but he can fool most into thinking he is since he remembers everything anyone ever said to him, he's a freak and I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Thank f*** I can leave and let him f*** everything up without me. if you even try to challenge his meglomaniac tendencies then you will be bollocked and explained how you are wrong and then told how this is coaching for you, he is the perfect example of someone who should not be allowed to lead.

Thanks for this site guys!!

hahahahaha yours a bit the same as mine... My boss quite smart a*se too. He's SHORT, never work in the office, neither working with people in a big company. Its a small company, he always sit alone by himself (usually) until i came onboard.

Since he's shorter than me, i think he feel threaten by me or he feels like there is a rival. To overcome his fear, he decided to be an A-hole about things.

Only his way is correct, yours not. He knew me working in IT, to make him feels better, he always come up with his own solution. And he thinks my way of doing things not efficient enough even though i perform with protocol plus with work ethics. So i rather leave it the way he wanted as long as he happy and win the situation.

Sometime when he ask me to do things with instructions, i followed. Several days later, he denied or saying that's not what he meant etc..

I dont have experience working what he does, i mean 0 (zero) experience. We agreed before starting, he could show me things and train me. But now, the promises sounds too good to be true. He only show me a bit here and there and expect me to know forever. Sometime he asked me to read rather than keep asking. Im'ma practical man, not a theory minded type of person. He thinks just because he started at the bottom, research and all that, means i have to be like him to suffer. Why makes things complicated? why can't be straight forward and show me how? that's quicker and easier to solve issues rather than having to read and research took me hours. Sometime if i did, he came back and saying i spent too much time on it. then WTF you want me to do then? Just because youre experienced, and i'm not, you dont have to be a c**t.

Sometime he asked me to solve problems, and of course research with trial and error is a must. minutes later he came, "have you sorted it?" i said, No? still trying. Then he asking me all these possible questions lead to the problems until i found the solution. Ok hang on there, if you tell me how to do things to solve the problem? Yes, i can accept that. But if you asking me all these questions? that's an insult, and of course you trying to make me like an idiot working under you. That's not acceptable. Oh yes i almost forgot, he never work in a big company and interact with ppl much, that's why he dont have work ethics.

This place drive me nuts, especially having to sit in a room in front of PC, all day, while he sitting in the other room behind me where he can peeps and listen to my conversation, even though he denied it. I only have 30mins out to get lunch, 10-15mins to get coffee, Start from 8:30 to 5pm.

No interaction, no mingle, no stress ease at all. Where in the office before, i can leave my job temporarily, then go to other desk, interact, general conversate to release some work tension etc... or sometime go out have a cup of coffee.

I'm not looking at him as a person i used to know, now i'm looking at him differently.

Now i'm looking for a new job, things that i good at and knows better. That will makes me happy and enjoy what im doing.

BTW, i reckon he has Napoleon Complex syndrome in him. Google it. Short and insecure.

[dontgivemeyourshit]

There were so much problem and drama at my last job. Where to even start!

A female manager sits in one country a male manager sits in the same office as us. He filters everything and she is the ultimate idiot that backs him up unconditionally and makes herself look like a fool.

He belittles everyone in the office, talks to people using a patronising tone all the time.

He is super defensive on any constructive suggestions and ideas, and verbally threatenes staff if a little error of his was spotted by a team member and raised to him before gone to clients.

He bitches about everyone to the female manager overseas, and makes insulting comments and jokes about staff in front of clients.

He micro manages everyone as if they're two-year-olds, and wants to control and do everything himself so no one else can ever learn, grow and shine. He allocates work that basically favour himself and trap other team members. Guess what, everyone else in the team in the end experienced productivity loss while he is still the ultimate "star". Because of his bully, only him and always only him can perform.

He doesn't provide enough training and support to junior people then blame them for being "stupid".

He steals people's ideas, contacts, and credit and he does it as if you don't know and it never happened.

Trying your best to make things work when received confusing orders from him is rest assured to get yourself a toxic comment. If you ask him to explain before you take the task, he drags one sentences into an hour long talk and can't make a point and explain himself. If you don't do the job, you are wrong. You can't win. Everyone else in the team is always wrong. Whatever you do, he will twist it into a flawed piece in front of the female boss.

He says one thing and does another, creates non-existing rules and guide out of his ass on a daily basis, changes his mind constantly, not only expects you to follow, but also claims he has the highest work standard to your face all the time, then sends you ridiculously long retarded offensive rude insulting nasty emails when you can't follow his ever changing confusing orders.

A complete psychopath on all levels. An insecure dickhead with a pathetic distorted ego and inferiority who I am sure Karma will sort him out one day.

This is the first time in ten years that I ever ever complained about a manager after leaving a job.


Before we resigned, we all collapsed mentally. Sleepless nights and anxiety episodes every time the phone rings or a new email comes in. We asked, WTF is it this time? What other low and disgraceful thing can you possibly say or do more? Then there comes more.

Working with him turned me from a happy confident person into someone who had tons to get off the chest to my partner when I got home everyday, who was paranoid and thought oh I need to keep everything on record just in case I need them as evidence in the future. That experience was forcing me cornering me into becoming someone I dislike myself. I quit.

He now has no one left to manage. We all quit.


The female manager of course then takes over the management from his hand during notice period because he became aloof once a person resign. She is then annoyed and disappointed that everyone else is not performing except for him and starts to behave like a crazy person herself asking you why are you not performing on weekends in emotional emails!!!

By that time, we thought, you are the real problem for trusting and letting someone like him ruining this business. Leave us alone, both of you. What a hopeless situation.

So of course he gets to continue and the idiot woman relies on him more and more and we all left. We naturally loathe and look down upon someone like him.

I myself wish I never had to associate with him in any way. Today I look at it as a lesson so that I know what not to do myself to other people at work in the future.

UGH

MY BOSS IS AN ACTUAL COW. I KNOW SHE HATES ME EVERYTIME I BLOODY EMAIL OR TEXT HER SHE DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO RESPOND!!
SICK OF HER FAKE BULLSHIT. SHE IS THE TERRIBLE MANAGER AND HALF OF THE STAFF ARE LEAVING AS THEY ARE SICK OF HER

GOD IF THEY FOUND OUT WHAT A COW SHE IS I BET THEY'D DROP OUT....

I NEED TO VENT, SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE CRYING IM SO SICK OF HER AND HER STUPIDITY.

UGHHHHHH

felt good to rant :)

[anarchy5]

I really need to get something off my chest.

I was previously in a company with 2 bosses. They are husband and wife.

The husband is a good boss, very good with people and reasonable. He is a true leader who solves problems and nurtures his team to create leaders.

It's the wife that I can't stand.

She is a world class bimbo with serious ego issues.

1) Whenever problems arise, the first thing she will do is launch a witch hunt to find somebody responsible to take the fall. Since the company is small, it's usually either my colleague or I who end up the victims.

Once I remember, she tried to push the blame on something to me. It was during a seminar that a client approached her and told her that her credit card was charged twice. Immediately she asked me how come something like this can happen. The irony was, I wasn't even there when the incident occurred but she insisted, with the client present, that I was there.

2) She has serious communication problems. She can't give instructions properly and we always have to guess what she is trying to say. When we approach her for more details, she gets annoyed and say that we are not efficient. WTF! She even goes so far as to say why the whole world always twists her instruction.

Hello! When everybody can't follow your instructions, perhaps it's time to look at yourself rather than blame everyone, isn't it?

3) Acts like a convict just released from prison when we go for seminars out of town. Yeah, she's a mother of 2 and I guess domesticity doesn't sit well with her. When we go to out of town for seminars, she acts like she is so relieved with being free from the kids for an entire weekend. She talks that way with clients too and I can see plainly that while people smile politely when talking to her, inside they are gritting their teeth at being forced to have a conversation with a bimbo.

4) Everything is about her. When she talks about things, the focus will always be about her - how good she is, what a kind person she is, how her friends envy her.

5) She doesn't really love her kids. Nope, she just wants to show off to her friends that she has a happy family. In actual fact, her father and maid are the ones taking care of her daughters while she goes for facials and other stuff. When her husband takes the staff along for lunch, etc and the daughter comes along, it is her father who is taking care of the kid, making sure she eats and wipes her mouth afterwards. All the while, she is sitting there talking about bimbo topics with us.

6) She talks about clients, the people who invested a lot of money with the company, behind their backs. And she does this without closing doors or making sure that there is privacy before opening her big mouth.

7) She always brags at how she was the one handling all the seminar details before they hired my colleague and I to help out. If that is the case, I would have to say that things must be a complete mess under her watch. She actually had a complete meltdown during an event that we jointly did with a very prominent speaker and best selling author from the US. There were other people there witnessing the spectacle and it is up to us, the minions to step in and handle the situation.

I have since left the company. However, in my new company, there are some people who have dealt with her in the past. Well, it seems that I am not the only one who can't stand her and horror stories about her are well known in the industry (we do seminars).

My new colleagues shared with me how she was a pain in the donkey to deal with and laughed at all the stupid things she did. I sure don't know how her husband can take all that. He is a very famous internet marketing speaker, after all and it is certainly cause for embarrassment when his wife acts like a complete bimbo. She couldn't even write an email properly and yet she has the cheek to comment that my colleague's English is not up to par. From my observations, my colleague's English is way better than hers.

Recently, her husband contacted me saying that I have gone overboard bad mouthing them. I can say that what I shared with my new colleague is nothing that they don't already know. Perhaps the husband purposely turns a blind eye towards her behaviour?

Like I said, in the seminar circuit, her notoriety is well known and I only needed to confirm on some facts that people suspected on.

So how is this considered bad mouthing?

If he really wants to do any damage control, he should ask his wife to stop acting like a bimbo. I don't need to do anything to spoil their reputation. His wife is doing a fine job at it by herself.

My boss is truly an asshole. Here are the reasons why:

a) When he asks for clarification about something he doesn't understand or when someone asks him for clarification about something he said they don't understand, he will lose his temper and spit hot fire from both holes.

b) He is insecure in himself personally and professionally, so what he'll do is when he's around people who are well adjusted and confident, he'll intentionally be a pain in the ass and make snarky comments to try and put you down.

c) He expects quick response to his demands but will take forever to complete his own tasks, then try to take credit for what you do as his own work.

d) Makes very inappropriate jokes and doesn't understand why people don't find it funny and take offense.

The list goes on. I wish I could snap my fingers and make him disappear.

[NowIWork4Myself]

I recently quit a job at A sanitary bin company in Australia. this company had the most screwed up structure where they reward brown nosers, not people on merit. They have the worst morale and don't inform staff if people leave, are sacked or company changes occur. They rule with fear & hire people on a casual basis then expect loyalty!

I quit a few days ago after building ip my own business so i could get the hell out of there! If it wasn't bad enough that I worked in a completely micromanaged environment, I also had to deal with the most unapproachable, rude, witch of an office manager (that I didn't even report to) but still managed to make me feel as though I was the worlds biggest piece of shit.

I saw her on numerous occasions roll her eyes at staff, swear at people under her breath, slam doors, stomp around, huff, puff and just be a bitch!

Recently I lost my mother in law and after a few days off work I returned to her ignoring me and not even seeing if I was ok! She then realized she hadn't said anything do asked me how my tea was! I can tell you I felt like throwing in her twisted cats ass face!!!

This company has the worst manager team around & it's sad they are a small town because ppl are trapped!

[Peace]

If I am continued to be treated in the most hostile hatred filled atmosphere, well may he get 100 times of what he does. Patience has a limit! I am not the type of person who go around gossiping or talk behind people's back! All of his staff talk nastily behind him and I disallowed them to do so. Likewise when boss tried to talk down of his staff, I too politely told him not to do so. I believe in Almighty and I believe what goes around comes around. The awful feeling I get when he tries all out to convey me the message that I am not wanted. I know my worth. I will never forgive him! Ever!

[Peace]

If ever he tries to tarnish my reputation, then I will take refuge from Almighty and make him liable for his actions and words! Especially not when I duly did not deserve such treatment. Unless and until he repents and seeks my forgiveness, I will never ever let go my decisions!

[Guest]

I hate my boss.

She is a lazy piece of shit that loves to have all the power over people and let's them know it.

She is a sadistic bitch who cosies up to her workplace-friends and tries to force the others to resign.

She never turns up to work on time, and constantly is leaving early. She thinks she is the only fucking parent.

If I didn't need my job, I would love to tell her to go fuck herself and stick the job up her ass.

Fucker.

[Hello kitty]

I hate my boss! He is arrogant, thinks he is always right, self centered, takes my credit, dumps work on me last minute, demands the work to be done despite the fact that he set that stupid deadline, pisses everyone off and then have those people demand things from him since he needs them to sign off, then he makes shit up and makes representations to those people, and then he asks us to cover for him. He is an a-hole. He talks down to people and tells them that they are stupid. I hate him! He is not a leader! And he is not a manager! He finally gets around to approving my leave after I have come back from holidays. I have to beg him to participate on the compulsory 360 feedback survey for me. I hate him, and wish that his boss would do something about it, but he doesn't. I don't want to quit because of this a-hole. But the work day is just terrible. Someone needs to get rid of him. Everyone who has had to work with him hates him. Including his boss! And his boss' boss!

[Guest]

Atleast I feel a little better to see that I have a lot of company who also work for a horrible boss. Being a long term good employee it is awful to see how this guy has transformed the entire work group into a world of miserableness and fright. This person is a know it and done it all and also better than anyone else in the world. If he went to hell, he would probably criticize the devil. Don't know that I am going to be able to last him out, so am looking for another job and a better boss.

[Guest]

I do not know where to start.

My boss is a Former salesman, who managed to save 100k to start his own company. When I interviewed, he was your typical salesman, delusions of grandeur, but good intentions. He was negative about all his applicants and current employees, but needed employees that "Cared". (This should of been my first clue.) I came in the books were non-existent, the staff was inexperienced and run down, and the owner was never there. I chose this has challenge, and within 6 months, we now had financials, the staff was trained and happy but the owner was there even less.

During this course, he would run off employees and try to get me to lie for him to workforce commission so he did not have to pay. (Nope, I would not do it, and asked him if could take care of it, due to my lack of experience in sales). He managed to convince the workforce commission and done so several times. Next, he was looking at his books and needed some adjustments, and asked me to get with his CPA, when i asked his CPA how he got his figures, the CPA went off on me saying I am way over confident and to let management handle it, not some two-bit bookkeeper. Owner sided with him and Owner told me, I am to over confident and to aggressive that I need to be more submissive to men. (What?) So he will have me doing inventory, with some Girl, who use to work in "Gentlemen Entertainment" in charge of me, since I will not have enough to do. Which means I will be carrying and pushing around 60 to 150 lb boxes of items.. (What?) I never done physical counting inventory of LARGE HEAVY items, and I have a bad knee why are they making me do this SHIT.... is he out of his mind? No, I'm gathering he's trying to get me to quit so he can avoid paying unemployment and lie again.
This man is a liar, an asshole, treats women like shit, unless they are dumb and think he's sexy. (Which he's not, he's an ugly beer bellied, bald man) I wish karma would get him, but something tells me he'll talk himself out of that too..
I'm afraid to quit, because I have worked here a year, and I don't want a bad reference. I want to do it right, and give two weeks notice, but something tells me he will screw me no matter what.

Oh, and he has video camera with a recorder everywhere so he won't have to come in, just watch us all day on his computer at his home, while he looks at porn. (He told me, this, isn't he just a funny man? NOT)

[kyle1991]

Let me start by explaining where I work.

It's this crappy fast food joint where I am part of a team of assistant managers who report to a store manager.

So after transferring to this new store a few months back, all the staff immediately warn me that this store has a really high turnover rate for male managers.

All I did was make one little mistake and my bitch of a store manager has spent months trying to get me fired for it.

She lies to our district manager about things I've done and deliberately tries to make me look bad

Even though she's an ugly fat bogan corrupt bitch herself who screws with the staffs hours and will do anything to save a dollar.

She never works the nightshifts and makes me do them all because she likes to watch home and away and all she ever does at work is give people attitude and stand in the office texting.

She would deliberately roster me an army of useless trainees for a Friday night shift, which is extremely busy, then give herself all the gold level crew and complain when I struggle a little.

Even though she thinks she's such a saint, I've witnessed her falsifying her SOS times, lying about the stores money, and cutting peoples hours simply because she didn't like them as a person.

I have also just found out that she's been sending emails to our DM about me and then deleting them because she doesn't want be to see them.

All smiles to my face this week, but I recovered some nasty emails with her slagging me off.

Even though I've now been transferred and no longer have to work with that ugly fat abusive bogan bitch, she still makes me really angry and I hope she gets fired soon
