Bash your manager!

And now it is time for us to take out our daily rage towards our superiors and indulge in the therapeudic activity of slandering our supervisors and therefore prevent ourselves from going into homicidal face-scratching fits at our places of work.

so, let's begin, shall we?

i was just at a mandatory employee meeting that lasted about two hours. i was told that we would all be on level ground at this meeting, and that there would be no repercussions for anything said. however, it seemed whenever anyone tried to ask a question that my manager would give an answer quickly and loudly, even when the questioner had not even finished their question. i can understand being respectful but i believe that employees, especially hard-working ones, deserve equal respect from their superiors.

and my manager said such wonderful and motivational things today such as:

"I don't care for half of you here. I'm just here to make money for the store."

"If you don't like how I act like a badass, that's your own problem."

And my personal favorite:

"Every single one of you is replaceable."

Hahahaha. What an awesome boss.
Why do you still work for her?

The manager that just handed me a 5-day suspension for a BS complaint had the audacity to say "I don't know how you're still here." I've been there almost 5 yrs, and I've NEVER been so disrespected as I was w/her. (She's new to the office). So, as far as I'm concerned, she's a worthless douchebag and I'm considering filing a complaint w/the union to go along w/the grievance I already filed for the suspension.

The guy sounds like he's a bastion of keeping employee morale high...

And he is probably oblivious to how making statements like that will cost the store money when the staff don't feel like helping customers because they get treated like shit either way, or when the staff decide to find ways to rip the store off as much as possible.

I don't know about there, but here, bosses who view themselves as 'badasses' with their staff often will find themselves on the receiving end of many labor law complaints/suits.

I've seen what happens at places when the lions share of staff leave at the same time, with no notice. Staff aren't really as replacable as this guy thinks, unless you don't need people who can train the newcomers... or in the more extreme, when every single 'replacable' staff member decides they should unionize.

If that was my place of work, I'd either quit outright, or I'd look around for another job and do as much as possible to undermine the place before I left.

sounds like a good idea. the only reason i've stayed so long is they are being real lenient with my school schedule (letting me work only weekends) and i'm still getting employee and medical discounts. but yes, i could probably find something better if i looked hard enough.

I have three managers at my stealership and only one is cool and not a total cock.
There is nothing much to say but run my hands threw my sweaty pubic hair and give each of them a nice firm handshake goodbye when i quit.

I like my manager, we hang out sometimes. Then again I'm also management, so I guess we're part of the asshole club.

my manager is a real fuckin sunofabitch asshole.
(i'm self employed...)

I am a manager. Get back to work you lazy, shiftless bastards.

I cut the tip off my left index finger. My boss determined I was right handed and told me to get back to work.

i'm a manager, I Drive a DODGE STRATUS, PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF ME!!!!

wow....that sounds exactly like my manager...now he is without everything because he left it all behind when the parish evacuated

ugh. number 1 reason i left my last job.
my new boss isn't bad. i could do for some more interesting work, tho.

yes, the fine effects of industrialization. increased production rate at the expense of worker privileges.

*bows to you*

Well done, sir. Well done.

my boss is a bitch and i fucking hate her. i cant expand without infuriating myself.

I've been job hunting for almost two months and I'm at my wits end. I hate you all

my boss is..um...a greasy overgrown emo kid. i dunno, he's only been my boss for a day. i don't think he's a dick, but he sure does have greasy hair and a very red face. but he is very laid back and seems like a nice guy. i love my new job. yaayyy for local chain music shops!

i regarded my last boss as a god on earth, the guy fucking ruled. really tough to work for but funny as hell and a great guy to have on your side. and he gives me ridiculously good references, when all he is obligated to do is say that i was actually an employee of his.

i have had my share of shit bosses, though. bosses who would take off on vacation almost every other week. bosses who turned out to be perverts and thieves.
