I used to have a boss that drank about a case of mountain dew a day and would cuss you out at the drop of a hat. Sometimes he'd be perfectly fine, but at least once a day he would just flip and lose it. It actually became comical after a while. It became hard not to laugh in his face while he was yelling in yours. He actually flipped on one guy for putting 1 extra screw in something. Can we say Skitzo!?

I hear ya man. I worked with this clown one time who thought he was my boss. He knew that in the grand scheme of things, I had more clout and pull than he did, but ruling by intimidation was his game. He was the type to yell and scream and spit on you when he was close enough from screaming so much. He also used the poking people in the chest deal. That is where I drew the line. One day during one of his most stupid performances, he made the mistake of touching me. I touched him back, except it wasn't a tap. I shoved him on his butt. Needless to say, after he was done threating to take me to HR, he had decided that what I said was true, and he would be the one in hot water. I told him that I would get each crew member to come with me to HR to express their dislike for his management techniques. He never yelled at me again! Relax people...life is too short.

I have had a few bosses that I have not liked and I must be honest they have all been women, I have never had a woman boss that treated people fairly, they seem to to work in a different way than male bosses, I don't know what it is but it seems they act on in a personal way esoecially towards other women...so much so i hate to see women as bosses and i am a woman which i guess i should be backing them...I just can't help thinking women can't handle power sometimes...

A lot of people feel the same way I think that's part of why Hilary Clinton's campaign was cut so short. Me personally, I've never had a female boss, but I have heard that a lot of females have problems with female bosses.

I've had a couple of bosses that weren't very nice, but by and large most of my bosses have been decent. I did have one once that behaved immorally with a client, but It didn't come out until after I had already left my employment there.

He definately had a lot going on and he just spent way too much time at the job. Some people just can't handle all the stress. And I don't think all the mountain dew was helping him any lol.
