Stupid Bosses

is is the real all purpose asshole boss. He is the kind of guy that is “my way or the highway”! Tables and presentations have to his way. If someone puts any different color in the spreadsheet he would yell “who is messing with MY tables???”. We even nicknamed them as “spreadshits”. Well, I was the one doing all the forecasts so I needed to make it easier for me to handle all those vehicle model forecasts!!! The only thing for him was to approve the final numbers and then he would make me and the other analyst sit in front of him and he goes line by line in the spreadsheet looking over each number….and the he would be the oly one facing the monitor!!!! It would be hours of me and my colleague staring at each other and listening to the stupid boss complaining about everything!!!! He also like to make everybody against each other in the team! He claims he can speak English, and he yells at us from his office: F-O-R-O-W-A-R-D that email to me!!! (I worked in a North American company based in South America).

Stupid Bosses

I was fired because my boss made up lies which HR believed to be true depite my previous boss’ glowing performance reviews. HR couldnt fathom how this could happen but still believed it. Goo figure. I guess they were required to have some sort of built-in leap of faith mechanism and it also helps to not care, not listen and a lot of other not’s.

The new boss was in charge for less than 3/4’s of a year. During that time, support statistics for our department were no longer being distributed, even to us. This new boss managed the department like he managed his life. Anything that created work was something to be avoided at all costs. Complaints about the level of support being provided steadily increased. And you wonder why…

1. I had someone ask for an aisle seat so that their hair wouldn’t get messed up by being near the window.

2. A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost information, she asked, “Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii?”

3. I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information when she interrupted me with “I’m not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts.” Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, “Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa.” Her response was “click.”
