General Venting

[sad girl]

My boss delights in playing cruel mind games with the staff. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about it because she owns half the company. Our turnover in staff is immense. Would love to quit but can't until another job pops up...Lord give me strength. I just want to say she is truly an awful, nasty, unhappy passive-aggressive person who LOVES to make others as miserable as she is.

Nosy, nasty boss!

I manage a restaurant in a pub. I made the mistake of thinking my boss was a nice guy ... and dated him.

He lived across the road and would spy on me and question me about what time I left work, whether I stayed for a drink and who was there. He would ask me what time I finished and then tell me what time my car left. He would watch the staff that lived in the accomodation across the road and comment on their private lives all the time. He would call me any time I had off and question me about everything I had done while I wasn't at work then lecture me that I wasn't checking in with him enough. I got tired of it so I broke it off.

He is now punishing me by not allowing me to hire replacements for the assistant manager, supervisor and function co-ordinator who have left in the last few months. He has just told me he will not allow me to have a supervisor or manager on premise during the day. I am supposed to continuously train the backpacker staff to do my job so "the restaurant will run itself". If anything goes wrong when I'm not there I am told this will reflect my poor training skills. He expects me to do all 4 management roles by myself at night only. All the companies and clients I deal with are available during the day.

Though I have been acting restaurant and functions manager for 3 months he refuses to hire me as any more than casual so that he has power over me and can dangle the prospect of losing my job in front of me.

He takes my most experienced restaurant staff to pour drinks in the bar when it is busy and leaves me with staff who are not yet fully trained then smirks at me and tells me he's my boss and I'll do what I'm told when I question the logic.

I am contemplating telling him to stick his job up his ass and since I'm casual there is no notice period required.

[Anonymity is best]

I hate my boss. Everyone who works for him hates him too. Even the ones he sleeps with on the side whilst he marries a girl 20 years his junior that he doesn't even like because he thought it was what she wanted. Because his life sucks so much he likes to take it out on his employees. By employees I mean younger female employees that he feels that he can intimidate and bully. When all that fails he vents even more at me and makes my life hell. Many times I have turned up to work and searched for his car to make sure he's not there so I can go inside. Recently there was a comment made by me on an internet based social networking site that was non-specific and revealed identity of no one or anything. One of his cronies printed my page, formulated a story, and handed him the printed pages. If I were a psychiatrist I would diagnose him with paranoid personality disorder. He thought it was in relation to work and is currently giving me absolute hell. He harassed and belitlled me so much that yesterday all I ate was a single apple and that even made me ill. This is not the first thing but rather the straw that broke the camels back. I have been verbally abused, psychologically harassed, discriminated against and had my workplace privacy legislation violated for the past 3 years. If you haven't got the drift already, I hate my boss. I know how Stalin's staff must have felt whilst he was in power now. Constant bullying, harassment, discrimination, and abuse would wear anyone down. He wants a meeting regarding the comment on the internet. I asked him to send his concerns via email and he refuses to write it down. WHy? Because he's got nothing on me and he knows it. So I shall now be bringing an extra person to every single conversation I have with him so he cannot deny or manipulate my words. It's times like these when I wish the Crown Prosecutor of the high court was my pal. How much would he poo his pants if he saw me walk in with them?

My new supervisor is an utter psychopath. She has the most putrefying perfume. She puts on a whole show of wanting to be there for you but all she really cares about is covering her own (GIANT) ass. It makes me sick. She has no interest in any human beings, just paperwork and number crunching. It physically nauseates me. I have only had this dumb c**t for 2 months but I am tendering my resignation tomorrow. Nothing is worth this. She has also ruined the song "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga for me, as she sings it constantly in a really horrid voice.

Driving a company vehicle I was in a serious accident and had to be taken to the hospital. I was out of cell phone range at the place of the accident. Total strangers came to my aid and took me to the hospital. By this time, several hours had passed.When the vehicle was found my boss was called by the police to notify her of the accident. All she cared about was the truck. I was seriously injured and she has NEVER asked me or any one else how I am doing. She was more concerned about the drug test. She would not bring the paperwork to the hospital. She wanted me to get up off a backboard, take off a c-spine collar, climb out of the CT machine, take out my IV and come get the paperwork myself!!!!! She is such a fat lazy, uneducated bitch! When I came back to work she told me that she didn't believe there wasn't any cell phone service in the area of the accident and that I wasn't hurt. I was devasted. Every day I bust my ass for the company and the patients and I come back to that treatment. I hate her, hate her, HATE HER!

[themaneishell]

I got written up for something that happend weeks ago. If that wasn't. The worst part my boss being the bitch she is decided to tell the other girls in the salon about writing me up. She might as well have had everyone coming in one room and bitch me out right in front of every one!

[Suzie]

I hate my boss so much!!!!

I work at a strip club, so technically, he's my "manager", since I am not technically an employee, but an "independent contractor" who pays out half the money I make in exchange for renting stage time.

BUT--here's the deal. My manager is named Mohammed, and he was just brought in a month ago. He is SO RETARDED! I mean, he must have the IQ of a rock. He continually makes business decisions that go against ALL LOGIC! He has been isolating all of our big spenders by enforcing stupid rules that never even exsisted until he was hired.

We have this one customer (a famous person--very famous) who used to come in at least once a week and drop 30-80 THOUSAND DOLLARS. Right. NO LIES. SO my manager one day arbitarily decides that this customer can't leave a tip for the DJ who left early (meaning on time, since this customer usually stays til 8am doing dances, and we technically close at 4am). The DJ happens to be best friends with this customer. The customer got SO PISSED OFF about it that he hasn't been back since.

I mean, this manager RIGHT THERE just lost the business well over a million dollars. EASILY.

On top of that, a customer of mine, also famous, also a multi-millionaire, who comes in once a month when he's not overseas, who also spends 10+ thousand dollars each time he comes is about to NEVER COME AGAIN too because on Tuesday, when he came in, this manager randomly made up a new rule that this guy can't pay for drinks with his credit card. WTF?? Everyone else can!! Every other joe-blow who spends $100 can put drinks on the card but for some reason MY BEST CUSTOMER can't.

And it all comes down to the fact that this manager hates me because I REFUSE TO KISS HIS ASS. I REFUSE to tip him more than a dollar a dance because he is a MORON! He's pulled girls out of VIP to put them onstage for a homeless person who had gotten in with a coupon clipped out of the weeklies. WTF??

He also hates me because he has this girl who he brought with him when he was hired, let's call her "Jamie", and she is supposed to be his "top girl". Well, I'm top girl at my club, meaning I make more money than anyone else, every time, and this manager's "girl" HATES me because of it. She's uber competitive to the point of breaking MAJOR stripper rules, to the point of trying to fight me. My manager is even having sex with her I think. So because I don't step down and let her walk all over me and have all my customers and all my money, my manager hates me because she hates me.

It's all soooo ridiculous! Its even more ridiculous that he claims he is "PROFESSIONAL" when it's 100% obvious to anyone who has eyes that he's having sex with her and obviously playing favorites because of it. She hangs out with him when he comes in on shifts he's not working to "check up on things" (and when he does, he starts yelling at everyone even though IT ISN'T HIS SHIFT TO WORK!!), and she rides into work with him and leaves with him.

I tried calling him out on that, when he came up to me on Tuesday while I was sitting with a customer. This guy had walked in and I was sitting with him, about to close the deal for a VIP ($600) when the STUPID manager walked up and made a huge scene and had me come to his office. Of course, his girl Jamie, was standing right beside him and swooped down and took the customer, so she could make the money my manager was not allowing me to make.

So he takes me to his office and tries to tell me that "everyone hates me" and that "you are trouble maker" and that there's always "tension" when I'm working.

Um, ok? Yes, there is tension, tension between him and I and between his butt girl, but that's because THEY HATE ME! How can he hate me and then blame me for the tension it causes? I don't like him but if he'd stop interfereing with my money, I'd definately tolerate it. As for "everyone hates me", way to generalize and over-simplify a situation that is a lot more complex than that. I am very good friends with a lot of the girls--we go to Vegas all the time, travel all the time--so no, they don't hate me. Some girls do--Jamie does--because I make SOO much more money than they do, but tough shit! I work hard! As for being a trouble maker, no I'm a money maker, and JAMIE is the one yelling at customers/other girls, trying to hit me, jumping off the stage and trying to slap me.

I called him out and told him he was living in freaking LA LA LAND and that if he was truly impartial, he'd see that it was HER NOT ME that was starting drama. Of course, I said more and it all confused him because he kept talking over me, trying to drown me out, by just yelling. Of course, being the badass I am, I just started screaming "DO NOT YELL AT ME! THAT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL!!" and he calmed down. I'm like "listen dude. I know you play favorites, and I'm sorry you are so far removed from reality that you can't even see it yourself. But here's the deal: You can't fire me. Only the owner can fire me. So don't try your intimdation threats with me, and don't think you can intimidate me with your "everyone hates you" BS. Obviously they don't, and the owner will never fire me, because he a) told me himself, and b) is a friend of mine. SO QUIT! Can we please just be friends? Just be COOL?! Stop with the drama??"

And of course, all he could do is start rambling on again about how much of a shitty person I am. Not ONE WORD about trying to remain cool with each other or COMPROMISING and co-exsisting peacefully. He kept threatening to fire me, and even told me that he has made a NEW RULE FOR ME and ONLY ME: I can't approach a customer until he has sat down for 5 minutes. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO ME. how is that FAIR?! how is that PROFESSIONAL!?

His reason: Well, it's not FAIR that you make so much money, and no one else does. Other girls need to make money too, and this will make the playing field even since you are so much better at it than anyone else.

(So I'm getting handicapped because was I natrually born hotter and smarter and sexier than everyone else?! Isn't that discrimination!?!)

Really, though, it's about Jamie, his "girl", being able to make more money than me. That's what it's about. He's trying to make his top earner make LESS so it's "Fair".

Well, let's see--I didn't know a "strip club" was supposed to be "fair." There are a lot of adjectives I'd use to describe strip clubs, but "fair" never really has ever entered my mind. Why don't they just all pay us a wage then, and eliminate the tip thing, if FAIRNESS is the goal?? That'd be the ONLY way to ever ensure that the money in a strip club was FAIR.

URGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ended up slamming the door in his face and going back next door, to where Jamie was sitting with my customer, the one that I was so rudely pulled away from by my stupid manager. Turns out, he was waiting for me the entire time and when I came back onto the floor, he stood up, walked up to me, and asked if we could do a VIP. We ended up doing 4 of them ($2400) and Jamie was so LIVID that he hadn't done a single dance with her, even after she had the manager's help in "removing" me. ))

I hope that they BOTH go die. THey are RUINING my club!!! Driving away all the people with MONEY and pissing off all the girls! Not to mention, the manager has convinced the owner to fire some really wonderful hot girls!!! I am friends with the owner, but there's only so much I can do! I have NO IDEA what possessed him to hire this fool---or to listen to the BS that comes out of his mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anonymous]

My boss is an ASS!!! He berates me, questions eveything I do even though I do my work and literally 85% of his if not more, he yells at me and no one else (I am the only woman there), if ANYONE makes a mistake, even if it is NOT my shift and I am not even there, it is my fault...grrrr....tonight he spends hours on the phone bitching me out (while I was working) and then hanging up the phone on me, then when he thinks I am getting too mad and I might leave he calls me back with "converational flowers" (just like an abusive spouse!) and makes like nothing happened. He hits on me ALL the time and it makes my skin crawl! But we created our department and in as much as it couldn't really go on without me, the same is true for him. SOOOO frustrating!!!!! I find myself wishing evil things for him everyday!!

I have just quit my job today. I have worked there for about 18 months. It is an engineering firm run from home. I have had to suffer abuse from the bosses wife since day 1. She has made my life hell with accusations that I have my eye on the boss. He is a miserable looking old man of 65, with a psychopathic narcisstic nature. He loves power and control! He almost went as far as telling me how deep to breath. I hated every bit of his superior ways, telling me how wonderful and clever he is. He is a filthy dick. He abused me verbally and emotionally and today I just had enough of it, so packed my stuff up. He is SOOO scared of his wife, but so superior in all other ways. I have no respect for him at all and NEVER want to see him or talk to him again.

[fmlfmlfml]

my boss is a sleaze bag.
he hits on me on a daily basis, then screams at me for nothing and makes me cry.
the sexist pig pms's more than i do, has deep seeded mummy issues and should be steralised to prevent any of his retardation from being passed on to future generations
HATE HATE HATE HIM.

My boss has transformed in one short year from my dream boss to my hell boss. I'm a teacher; he's a principal. I manage three big elective programs on campus - yearbook, newspaper, & debate - with great success (first place awards, various honors, etc.). What do I get in return? A figurative slap-in-the-face when I ask him to do his job, i.e. remove a student from my class who has gone through all ten of my disciplinary steps and continues to disrupt my class. Instead of dealing with the offending student, he instead accuses me of not doing my job. I've done my job. I've gone through all of the possible consequences, punishments, and praises I can think of to get the student to behave. Considering the amount of extra work I am doing to garner praise for the school, you would think he could put himself out a little bit to help me. I receive zero funding for my programs. My students raise all of the money for all of these extracurriculars on their own. You would think that when I ask the principal to help us out my sending out a general informative message to parents about some important fundraising we're doing he would gladly do it. No, he won't because I requested him to do it four times during the year (even though all four times he denied my request). Then he actually gets mad at me for not featuring his kid in the newspaper. I'm so tired of dealing with him, I could spit in his face. What's funny is that I'm not the only one who has noticed his transformation. We all think he's having trouble with his wife.

[h8myboss]

My boss is a class A fucking cunt. She should've gone through my resume about my work experience before I invested two weeks of my life that I can't have back. She has proceeded to parade any effort of mine in front of collegues and made cruel jokes about it. I can't wait to get out of here because it's not my karma to deal with

"As an employee for one of the biggest corporations today I have acquired many skills, ideals, and resources. While my job is to provide adequate information and promote the ideals and future of the company to our investors, clients, and employees I have decided I am over it. I am sick of having to kiss the asses of my superiors and be a welcome mat that everyone can step all over. Human resources is a joke! You make no money and do all the prissy bullshit no one else wants to do. Google is a multi-billion dollar corporation and I get pennies in comparison. As well as my boss the man directly above me is a huge douche bag. I have some dirt on him! And if I wasn't doing some shady shit myself I would rat him out here and now!!!! "

[fnguyen321]

I HATE MY BOSS. I went through fuckin med school and now I'm treated with so little respect and I'm paid so poorly that I can't believe I spent my college career slaving to maintain an outstanding GPA. I haven't done drugs in my life ever but recently started to take the prescription drugs I promote to ease the pain. FML

[mybossisapig]

I have been working for the same ASS@##$$ for 6 years now. I cannot stomach her anymore. she calls me after work and on weekends to talk about work, she passes the buck on me when she screws up and she talks about everyone. SHE IS A BIG FAT RED HEADED LOSER!
