Let's vent about crazy/ nasty bosses and co-workers!

I'll go...

I once had a boss (a woman) ask me to suck on the end of a dirty hose. Um, what????

    It had been sitting on the floor in a grease trap room of a restaurant. The opposite end was in an A/C pan in the attic of a 150 year old building...yum, lol

    Oh, don't get me started...I have an interim right now. It has taken 9 months to conduct the job search for the new manager and the interim has been a real peach...hostile work environment much? LOL

    Honestly, before this interim I was terribly spoiled. I've had decent bosses and co-workers. Including the one that turned out to be an embezzler. I was clueless, but then that's how successful embezzling works I guess. : )

    I guess I was lucky, only had a couple of bad apples. The winner was the junkie boss who paased out and fell on the client, scared the *&₩@ outta the poor girl

    True story. One company had a consultant doing programming in their IT department. They decided to hire him. On his very first day as a regular salaried employee, he stripped down to his birthday suit at his desk, sat down and started coding. I was not there to witness this, but I can tell you that it made it through the IT consulting world grapevine in less than 24 hours.

    I don't know if there was a complaint filed with HR or not ;)

    I once had a boss who picked me up in his arms and threw me on the couch.

    I told him what I'd do to him if he ever touched me again. He did not.

    I had a boss once with so many DUIs he lost his license, so every morning I'd drop my son off at the babysitter, pick up my boss and drive us both to work. Every morning. Good thing we got along well.

    I'm pretty sure sucking on a dirty hose wasn't part of the job description

    Isn't that insubordination?

    Call it what you want, but it was NOT happening :D

    Property Management/ Sales...definitely not in my job description.

    When I was younger and worked in Illinois my boss was a Texan who never wore an overcoat in winter. Sport coat and gloves only.

    He would walk in from the cold and very loudly snort a BIG lugey and then swallow it. He was my boss 1973-78 and I can still hear him doing that! I cannot get that memory out of my head!
