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

  • This happened to a colleague...

    We worked at an accountancy firm as PAs. Her boss was one of the partners. He used to get her to do all his private stuff too e.g. collect his dry cleaning, etc. She went in his office one day and he asked her to go and buy something (I can't remember what) and he then proceeded very casually to take out of his wallet his platinum bank card. He then threw it across the desk at her and said "Use my platinum card. That's the closest you will get to ever having one".

    She was a really sweet and clever girl but was in floods of tears.
