Re: Share Your Idiot Boss Stories!

My boss was the MEGA *****! I actually quit my industry (Fashion) bc of her (well, mostly).
She was 42 and thought she was 22. She used to dress really weird and at first, she was nice. Then she became really demanding and bossy and she thought I was her slave. She made me take her personal belongings for her, meanwhile, she coulda carried them!!
We moved into a temp. building and everyday we would have to check for packages, so every day she made me go check in the rain, snow, sleet, etc. Then one day she made me go back to the other building with 4 bags in each, no joke and she was like 'oh you can handle them'. I came back with my hands bleeding. She just wanted me to do every single little thing-I knew she didn't have any responsibilty at all. She was just a nightmare...but the worst was this: She told me that she would meet me in the other building one morning but i HAD TO FIND this package, she bitched about it for like an hour the previous day. So I couldnt find it, then I fianlly figured it out where it was, it was actually in a building 2 blocks away. So I go and get it and when I come back, eveyrone was like, oh Colleen is looking for you, she asid you musta gotten stomach sick n had to use the bathroom.
I was mortified. So I call her, and she was lke OMG ARE YOU OK??? WHERE WERE YOU? I'm like, I FOUND THE PACKAGE!!!!! I thought she would be happy..well...NOT AT ALL.
She started yelling at me and she was like 'I told you I was going to come back to the other building so whyd u leave? Now I had to do all the work by myself'. there was no work to do, all she wanted me to do was look at her while she rearranged the showroom. the best part was though , that she was like i was there for over an hour. thats when i got really mad. bc i was gone for the most, 20 min. I hate liars!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't take it anymore, so I quit. And the girl who took my spot quit not even a month b4.
I hate super bitches!!!!!!!! LOL
I think my boss is related to yours! Mine once made me shlep 4 shopping bags of stuff for 8 street blocks and 2 avenue blocks, and when I asked if an intern could come with me to carry 2 of the bags she said 'If I can carry it so can you' So she picks them up for 1 second, puts them all down, and lets me carry HEAVY bags all across town.
She comes in at noon and leaves at 4.
She spends about 2 hours on J-date
She yells at me for not knowing stuff I NEVER KNEW, AND WAS NEVER TRAINED FOR.
She wants ME to make sure HER desk is cleaned and organized. (I am NOT her personal assistant, I have my own job to do!!)
Since SHE comes in late and gets no work done she expects me to stay late - until 7pm or later- until she gets her stuff done, or deems I can go home.
She considers lunch hours unneccesary because she eats all her meals at her desk - breakfast at 12, and lunch at 4, all of which someone else has to order for her.
She'll pull stuff off a shelf to see what is inside, and then makes someone else clean it all up- usually me.
She was mad when I had to have my wisdome teeth out and didnt come in the next day.
I am so leaving soon!!
She is like a child!!!
