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

  • I used to work for a man who was also a major in the Territorial Army and blurred the lines between his two roles. I was constantly being told to stand up straight, have the cleanliness of my shoes inspected and be in the office 'at sparrow's fart' (early). To be fair, he did these things in a light-hearted manner but even so...!
