Weirdest boss you have had and why? (Bit of fun - let's see how times have changed)

Lisa

Hi everyone

Thought it would be a bit of fun to see if any of you have been unfortunate enough to have a weird/bad boss in the past.

One of mine (yeah, I've had a few) was in the early 90s.  Just after getting the job, I was speaking to the accountant who said to me (and I quote) "You know why he took you on over the others he interviewed?  He said last time he took on the girl with the biggest t**s and it didn't work out so this time he said he picked the one with the biggest smile".

I have to say, I couldn't wait to get out of there.  Thankfully, the decision was taken out of my hands after he had a major scuffle in reception with a director from another company and the following day we went into administration and were made redundant.

Let's hear your bad boss stories

  • In one of my very early HR roles, back in the late 80's (can't believe I am old enough to have worked in the 80's!!!) I was an HR Administrator. The HR Manager had a big, important office with a big important desk. I used to knock and wait to be called in and then he would ignore me and carry on with what he was doing for maybe 10- 15 minutes while I stood there waiting for his attention. What a @%^&*!
