Who hates their boss and why?

Well I like my current boss, but I did have a job that I had to quit because I hated my boss that much. She actually made me cry a few times; and she made everyone that worked for her feel like crap. Maybe other people want to stay and take the abuse, but I for one was not about to stand for it. I told her exactly what I thought of her. I told her she was a bad supervisor and that anyone who worked for her should have their head examined. I told her she didn't know how to speak to her employess and that she should consider actually going to business school and learn how to be a proper manager. I was certainly not the first person to quit on her. I have no regrets for what I said or how I said because I really hated that woman.

Did a Mrs. Roxy pass away?

I'm definitely ready for a career change. Not because of my boss though. Just burnout.

I'm very lucky...my boss ended up becoming one of my closest friends. Unfortunately, he's transferring in 3-4 weeks after 5 years, and I'll probably end up posting to this thread about my new manager.

Former boss --

~ did not approve of breaks and lunch hours, even on 8 hour shifts for those of us full time
~ did not like giving raises, only 5 employees made above minum wage
~ did not fix a/c or heater....EVER.. it was always broken and always burning up of freezing insdie
~would not spend money top fix up store... had to use a sawed off broom handle to brace the windows closed to lock them and it too two peopel to close/lock the door..
~ I was held up at gun point.. next day he said I could be replaced, money can't.
~ I worked 8-12 hour shifts every day for THREE weeks.. 21 days.. no day off... then I worked from opening (I was a manager so I had to be in at 9 AM) till closing (store closed at 11PM left at 12AM), I was woken up at 7:300AM with a phone call that said that the stor was closed immediately and that the owner was filing for bankruptcy and that I would NOT be paid for the last three weeks.. not even the managers/supervisors were given warning.)

I wonder if your boss & mine were maybe twins separated at birth

Wow. Reading all your messages really make me love my job.
My boss is awesome. I come in anywhere from 8-830 am, usually take a lunch although sometimes I don't. Then I leave promptly at 3:30. Now this being said, all of us "non-union" employees wages are frozen and we don't know when or even if we will see another raise. My boss even let us take off black friday, as well as he is letting us take off the day after Christmas. Those 2 days are not paid holidays for us. I guess they figure they've got to give us something in return for the lack of pay increase. Besides the fact we are one of the lowest paid airlines around.
*sigh I'm ready for a change! The problem is all I've ever worked in is the airline industry. I am looking to go back to school though, just not sure what I want to do. I'm trying to get on with Penn State here...so cross your fingers!

My boss is quite nice. He takes dance lessons, and wants me to learn Jazz with him. I would much rather take Tap, but oh well. It's free.

Mr Matt, you're so full of it. I asked my boss about people getting bonuses and he told me thats just a urban legend. Yeah, right, workers get a bonus at holiday times and if you look into a mirror and say Bloody Mary three times....

To Add regarding my boss - Many months ago, a coworker with MS had a severe attack on the premises. I & the receptionist were the only ones there at the time. I made the decision to call 911 & probably saved her life. She thanked me. Even though I saved him a possible lawsuit, he never said thank you. By the way, he docked her pay for leaving early & I did not ride in the ambulance as he would have docked me.

This boy wants to disprove the saying " You can't take it with you ". He probably has every buck he ever made & intends putting it in his coffin . To coin a phrase "I wouldn't piss on him if his hair was on fire." He is one cheap SOB . The day I get another job is my last day there. No notice at all. Every dog has his day.

I almost forgot....It's a casual office, so I get to wear jeans every day. Can't beat that!

Sounds more like a cast party!
