Ever had a boss from you know where?? I had two. One that was a male and worked at a grocery store(he was a sexest) and made all the women do the dirty and hard work like clean and get buggies while he gave the men the easy task, talk and sit around doing squat. Hope he doesn't treat his wife like that. He treated us like whores. Another was with the job I had for four months, Wal-Mart. She was even more worse and terminated people on purpose to keep the money and the bonuses, myself included. She is about to leave and people there are about to jump down and celebrate. She was a cross between Hitler and Huessain. I would love to put her in a Hitler uniform in front of all those employees who suffered due to her.

I do now. He's okay to work for...not mean or sexist or anything like that...he's just a HUGE moron. He has absolutely no idea how to hire people or run the business. It's a small, family-owned auto repair shop, yet he's letting this California company tell him how it should be run. I didn't even go to business school, but I know that half of what they're telling him just is not realistic for a small, Midwestern shop. But he thinks they're God or something.

He also thinks he's perfect and never makes a mistake. And if someone, GOD FORBID, makes a mistake, well they might just as well jump off a bridge. :rolleyes: He even wanders around rolling his eyes and sighing. Damn that's aggrivating. I'm for the 2 guys in the shop and my boss just rags on them so much. "Well he's not doing any more diagnosis" (after one mistake that, AHEM, my boss didn't even know what was wrong. The stupid hypocrite was calling other people asking them what was wrong!) Well he's on thin ice...:mad:

And all this coming from a man who screwed up my own mother's car. Look...MASTER MECHANIC...Champion spark plugs do not belong on a Toyota. Dumbass cheapskate. Get decent parts for once!

Oh...and that company...they want him, from the time cards the guys punch in and out on, to figure Productivity, Efficiency, and Proficiency. First of all...they want 90% productivity. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. A lot of times, they either have to wait on a part or they get a car that just doesn't want to be fixed. Yet that's not supposed to happen. :rolleyes:

And I'm an English major...I know what proficient means. It means expert. Now, if someone can realistically tell me how it is possibly to chart someone's expertness based soley on the time they're at work, and the time my boss figured the job should take (called sold time), I'd really like to know.

Sounds like a nightmare Cathy. Family-owned businesses are tough to begin with. Your boss sounds like a headcase. :eek:

It's appears you're working in an unhealthy environment. I think it's time to update your resume. Best of luck. :)

Yes, I did. It was a big mistake to start there in the first place. I worked for a lawyer who is a friend of the family. I found out that it's a huge mistake to work for someone you know! She started taking advantage of me because she thought she could get away with it. At times she was really rude and pushy and it pissed me off so much. I watched how she treated her two other employees and she was always so nice to them. She wasn't always rude to me, but seemed to be a great deal of the time. She also had a habit of giving me about ten jobs to do RIGHT before I had to leave.

Thanks. I've only been there 5 months, so I'm going to try to stick it out at least a year. But you're right...he is a headcase.

my dad is from hell. well he is my boss.. cause he pays me $4 a week for cleaning the house. haha. so yeah. he pisses me off. today he had a freak attack because i was wearing a studded choker and a black tank top with a little skull stud on it and he said i "don't have the freedom to be dressing like a freak". whatever

That's how all of the bosses I had at Walmart were when I worked there. I hated every one of them.

Now I have the best boss in the world, I would'nt trade her for anything. :D

When I first came to NYC, I worked on the west side piers doing lighting for trade shows. The guy who ran the company was a micromanaging psycho.
The most frustrating thing about working for him was you would never know what would set him off.

One time one of us broke a really expensive video monitor while we were unpacking them. Since we were scared to death to tell him one of us broke it, we simply told him it was broken when we unpacked it. Now we had this really big show opening the next morning, and we would be one monitor short, but Hellboss was really calm about it. "No problem," he said. "Just repack it we'll take it back in the morning.

But, he would go balistic on me if I had to take five extra rolls of electrical tape out of the inventory to give to the other electricians.

He would scream at us if the shop/storage areas where we kept the equipment had a scrap of paper on the floor, yet his office looked like it got hit by a missle.

He was a psycho. Every once in a while I see some of the guys I worked with there, and they still have thier war stories about that loon.

;)

Now that's funny.

When I worked at a grocery store my boss was an a.. hole.
He yelled at people all the time. I haven't seen him in a long time and I am so glad.

Yes them.

I worked under them.

They all had big heads and sucked. I hated them all and I still hate them when I see them today.

I walked out while working because of them I refuse to shop there and I haven't been since that was in 2000. I certainly don't feel like I'm missing anything. I :heart: Target

I love Target too but there isn't one near where I live so I have to shop at Walmart.

I get great satisfaction knowing when I go in there that I dont belong in that trap anymore.
