    My last boss.

    Our stores code of conduct was to offer the customer outstanding service, to always look like we're on top form and to offer them quick service.

    I had a customer whom was requesting a discount code, all of which are in this huge folder, literally like 1000 pages and organized awfully) This folder is behind the counter, which she was stood behind. So on simply asking for a discount code (which she knew by heart) in front of my customer she snaps at me "how do we find out?" *sigh* "Looking in the book.." "Well then do it." So I spend 5 minutes finding this code, which she could have told me in 2 seconds, and finally got the customer sorted, they didn't look too pleased about the whole ordeal.

    Now, at our store, we operated what was called "fearless feedback" This is the openness of speech to your colleagues and highers, to confront problems you might have with anything or anyone. I could only assume that it was fair for me to ask if I could speak to her, which she allowed. I said to her "I do not wish to question your management style, but when you interviewed me, I was told that we offer outstanding service, and get the customer through their service as quickly as possible. You could have very easily told me that code, and while I agree that it's good to work for myself and find the code, if you're right there, and it's obviously going to take forever to find, surely it'd be beneficial to the customer, and make our company look better when you're willing to help staff and customers.
    To which she replied, "There are many people waiting for your job, if you don't like the way I work, then someone else certainly will." "Well then let them have my job, I can't work for a company where the managers are hypocritical to something they make such a huge point of pushing on the staff".

    Needless to say I no longer work there, and Sharelle, if ever you read this, you are a cunt.

    My current boss is awesome. I have the easiest job and she works around my class schedule so its all good.

    My last boss was great- it was my uncle and I didn't really do shit.

    My boss before that was a dick face. After I quit, he wouldn't give my last check. He would play the "Oh its here" and I would go there and it mysteriously would be missing and that lasted a month until I brought a guy with me and then my check magically reappeared. Fuck that jerk.

    My ex boss was an incompetent idiot and the new boss is a cunt and I could have easily kicked his head in (it's what he deserved). I'm not going to go into it in case he / someone I work with stumbles across this post and I lose my job.

    My uncle is my boss.. and he's the big boss for our division of the Store chain I work for. Doesn't mean I get special treatment or anything, but he's not very demanding at all. I like my job.

    Well it's generally not too hard to either take your bosses job or play golf with him and get him to like you.

    Try one of those instead of pushing the whole hate agenda.

    I don't hate my boss and I have a fairly easy job as well.. However my boss is scared of confrontation and gets all defensive and crap when confronted. Imho ppl like that have no business in managment..

    You make a valid point. Try mentoring him.

    My last boss was god awful. He was a liar and a cheapskate and everything bad you can think of.

    He loved pinching pennies, so when it came to overtime, he regularly cheated people of their hours. With our system the managers can go online and manually edit the hours, so he would skimp an hour or two off of everyone's overtime every week to make our checks significantly smaller. There was one case where a whole department went up to him and threatened to smash his face in if he didn't change it because it was hundreds of dollars' worth of hours.

    He micro-managed every department. I didn't even see why we had supervisors, because he was always over riding what they had to say.

    He would hire new employees for departments without discussing it with that department's supervisor first. He hired a new supervisor because he knew his dad. Now that supervisor that he hired is fucking everything up in his department and the manager refuses to fire him because he was the one that hired him, so if he fired him it would make him look bad and show that he was wrong. So instead he keeps this shitty supervisor that can't do his job.

    He hires illegal mexicans to work in the kitchen and wardrobe departments and pays them more than some of the other employees and tells us to keep quiet about it.

    I could keep going, but I have to stop myself. Basically never ever work for Medieval Times. It's a shitty corporation where every job is a dead end job.
