What is the worst boss you have ever had? I have had several bad bosses and from time to time I have been a less than perfect boss too. Over the years, I learned how to be a very good but sometimes imperfect boss.
I worked for a boss once who would look at his watch when he saw me arrive to work and then he would look up at me. He was so enemy centered that the ultimately was forced out of a high-paying position when his life fragmented.
He could talk the talk, but I'll be damned if he could walk the walk. He was forced out of his employment due to a wide variety of abuses.
This man wore a racial chip on his shoulder. He saw all criticism as racial bias and he acted in often bizarre ways.
When meetings were run, long periods of time would be spent just arguing over the minutes of the previous meeting as the minutes were often manipulated to distort the reality of the process of the management style of this individual.
He was mean and malicious, wasting government resources to constantly spy on his enemies. Without fail, this bad boss sent his secretary by my office 5 minutes before my scheduled departure to make certain I was in my office.
Bad bosses should not hire individuals for the government payroll with whom they are having an affair. A big bussomed woman may make a man happy, but she shouldn't make him stupid.
You too have probably had a bad boss; however, it is my hope that your experiences were less wayward than my own observations.
