Employees Reveal Why They Hate Their Bosses

Most 'bosses' are political animals. I have seen bosses who never actually did the work they are supervising. Very bad idea to have professional managers.

What I hate in bosses is when they use some personal bias against a perfectly good employee. Such as being jealous of you because you are thinner, have more clothes, or don't the same interests as them.

i used to have a boss, an attorney, that'd pay us as little as possible... then he'd make fun of many of his employees' clothes... said and they could at least shop at wal-mart instead of dumpster diving. our "bonuses" were a coupon for a mcdonald's shake. he'd wonder why nobody was loyal to him.

I got fired from a job where I was the best performer in the company,because my boss didn't even know how to do the job....

P.S.- that's another reason why I love HR...clown central.

Those who can do the job work. Those that can't do the job manage. Those that can't manage go to HR.

Push you to your limit and then steal your ideas and act like they were the ones who came up with it,always need to be controlling.

Employees need to know how to recognize a sociopath. They have no conscience and enjoy making other peoples lives miserable. When you work hard yet nothing seems to go right you need to determine whether this is the issue. HR will not believe you so the only option is to quit and move on. Snakes in Suits is a good read on the subject.

DUH! Ya think! Most people in supervisory positions today are full of themselves. They are clueless jerks for the most part. When I started working over 35 years ago, I knew my boss had done my job and worked his way up through superior skills and hard work. His/Her word was worth listening to. Today you need a piece of paper from some school that says you know how to find your butt in a fully lit room with both hands, and a mirror and a road map. I was doing building maintenance in an older building when my boss left for better money. Did they offer me his spot? No. They hired some fool to be the new DES who did not know what a GFCI was! (This is the same as a teacher not knowing what a textbook is.) I was gone in six weeks. I try to make sure I meet the person who will be my boss when I interview for a new job. It don't take much time to tell if they have a clue.

Many bosses tend to be intimidated by employees who arent. They are scared of anyone who is competent to replace them and harass anyone they are afraid of.

So employees hate their condacending bosses that hold the current job market over their heads. Who knew????

There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.

Our boss goes out of his way to make us feel stupid, and he never trusts our opinion. It makes us ask ourselves why he even hired us if he's not going to listen to us. It's so bad then when we see something is wrong, we don't bother telling him. We just let him go ahead and screw up because if we open our mouths, he'll yell and cuss at us. It's easier to watch him fail than it is to bring the problem to his attention.

I been a boss and i've been an employee. Corporate bosses are the worst.They sometimes don't even know the business thier in. I am now and employee again and bosses don't seem to get fundamentals of business. Only profit counts . Customers 2nd or third or in some cases last. Profits are important . Try making a profit with no customers.

"There are areas, however, where supervisors scored high marks. The research shows 74 percent of workers understand their boss's expectations of them, while 66 percent said their manager provides the support they need."

When I was in college, 74% was a C- and 66% was a D. Hardly passing grades for someone who is in leadership position.

If you work in retail none of your suggestions will EVER reach anyone that can change things. And if you're over 45 the 20-something manager will speak to you like you're a retarded 5yo.

I have a boss now that tried to fire me two weeks ago for lack of performance, then did a 180 turn when she realized that the work I was doing was right on target to solve some vital problems for the company. She then had the audacity to take credit for leading the way. Two-faced back-stabbing liar. Everybody knows it and nobody trusts her. Everyone just wants her to be promoted somewhere else. It's taking too long. Th funny thing is that she actually thinks she's doing an outstanding job. Everyone is afraid of her.

Its really unfortunate that people with no management skills, and very little or no knowledge of the work their staff does, are being placed in supervisory positions. How can you supervise my work when you can't do what I do? As you work you see your boss pretending to shuffle papers around, have meetings about nothing, long lunches, short work-days, fat paychecks and a chip on their shoulder. That Undercover Boss show lets its viewers see how inept the management world really is. But instead of focusing on the fact that the CEO was unable to do the job they focus on the fact that they gave the poor smuck training him a scholarship. The good ole American way!

We had a tyrant for 5 years where I worked. The worst boss I ever had. He didn't treat the employees the same. He played favorites with the employees. Some employees got a pass no matter what they did. Other employees couldn't do anything right. The employees finally ganged up on him. He was forced to retire. After he left I got a kick out of bad mouthing him in front of his favorites.

My wife is the only boss I ever respected! -She told me to write this.

Way back, at the beginning of Man, the various body parts argued over which one deserved to be Boss. Naturally, the Brain thought it should be boss by virtue of its high intelligence. But the Hands also thought they should be boss, because of dexterity to create and manipulate tools. This wasn't lost on the Feet who also thought they should be boss since they were responsible for mobility of the entire body. Even the Stomach thought it should be boss since it had to process the raw fuel into nourishment to keep the body alive. And then, the Аsshοle asserted that it should be boss. Naturally, this made all the other body parts laugh and dismiss it immediately. So the Аsshοle simply closed up. It wasn't but a couple days before the Brain started getting fuzzy, the Stomach becoming queasy, and even the Hands and Feet were getting shaky and wobbly. Finally, all the body parts capitulated and agreed that the Аsshοle could be Boss. So it really does go to show, you don't need to be anything special to be boss, just an Аsshοle.
