(4,492 posts)Actually my worst two.
Boss #1 (worst by far). Yelled at everyone like a drill sergeant. ALso expected of me to be his personal chauffeur in and out of a city I'm not comfortable driving in. I compromised by going (20 minutes) out of the way to drop him off at a train station. The worst incident was when I (for once) did something right in his eyes. He patted me on the head and said 'good girl.' He then yelled at me when I asked him if he would like me to play fetch and roll over.
Boss #2-- Didn't properly onboard me (yelled at me for things like procedural issues that should have been covered in training, which I did not have). Very micromanaging. He transferred me to another office because my counterpart there was getting ready to go up the chain about a problem with him. He was in a (romantic) relationship with one of my underlings there (the reason the other guy was transferred) and it made it an awkward as fuck situation.
