Ever felt that your boss called in to spite you?

=cause she is the boss and feels like she can do as she pleases without any concern for others.  She is selfish.  Watch your back.  Good luck.

Some bosses you can never please. I had one that I could have stood on my head while I worked and it was never good enough.\n\nSometime I think when they don't like you perhaps you remind them of a teacher or aunt that hurt their feelings when they were a kid. Or you just may intimidate them by your knowledge and they think you are out to get their job.\n\nNote to Bosses....please be kind to your help because they are what gives your business success, and treating them like garbage is only going to promote high turn over.\n\nAs Bozo the Clown once said.."It's nice to be important but important to be nice." Be nice to your subordinates and they will be nice and work hard for you.

Absolutely.  If you do a poor job then it will only give your boss another reason to treat you poorly.  You might also be fired!

Yes, unfortunately I used to be one, during one summer when I was a student, long time ago!  They are just people, and are just doing their job!  There is always a boss behind those telemarketers you know!  It sucks, I know, especially because they are trying to sell you things that you do not want!  Hey, that gives me an idea, what if telemarketers tried to sell you the stuff you actually wanted, and at a discount price!  If they did that instead, man, I would not be able to wait for them to call me!  But as it stands now, it is unfortunate!  Hold on, my phone is ringing...Hello?...Oh, no, not the telemarketers again!  Click!  Ok, where was I...oh, how unfortunate, for us, and them!

Nope, if you are dissatisfied about your job, he prolly knows already.  It's one way to break it to him.  Also, you have to remember that he might not care, or he might have noticed. he might have been thinking of something else.

Its very unfair, these things just make you feel lost and frustrated.Your boss is a rat!so is that alien.\n A boss should keepall his employers happy and treatthem equally.He sholud have helpedyou there.You did the right thing ,I wouldnt have been able to tolarate such a man.\nMan,you did good for a person who didnt care about you, you should be PROUD! hold your head up high .\nDont feel sad,it WAS the only way out. Had you stayed you would have regretted it.Tell your boss on the face

It has happened to me today at work :)\n\nI was ill-speaking of someone, when I found him at my back listening to every SINGLE word of what I said.\n\nOMG, this has been so embarrasing and I looked red like a tomato :)

I always felt kinda sorry for tellers until I was a proof operator.. then I wanted to sacrifice one to the proof gods to make them all bank face their checks!!\n\nReally tho I was behind this one person at a bank and they yelled the place down claiming that the teller had "forgotten" to give him all of his money.. I mean really, dont you count yours before you leave? I know I do.

Sometimes my boss is a real pain.  It wouldn't be so bad if the person had any common sense about things.  I mean some things my boss thinks up is so asinine!

I think we have all been there.\n\nI have a co-worker that just cannot accept responsibility when she screws up.  It's maddening.\n\nSo.....I went onto MSN and found an article about working with difficult people, it described her to a "T" and I typed up a label and mailed it to her.\n\nShe was furious but it brought the issue into the open as she was trying to find out who did it and therefore we were able to discuss WHY someone would do that.  We also made her "put the shoe on the other foot" and think of how she would feel if she had to work with someone that treated her co-workers the way that she did.\n\nShe's still difficult and a witch most of the time but at least she thinks about her actions a little more.\n\nGood luck, there's one at every workplace.

Yes, I work with a hyperactive, two faced twit. She also seems to possess Jedi mind powers, so even though everyone at work knows she is a pain in the butt, she manages to turn things around so that soon enough, the boss is on OUR cases instead. She claimed that I was much slower at a task than she could have gotten the job done. My boss(I am the closing supervisor btw), then turned on me like a rabid pit bull and demanded to know why I can't get the job done as quickly. I told her that not having done this particular task as frequently as MOST of the other employees, anyone of them could do it faster. The pain is now super sweet to my face, but compains behind my back. Oh well.\n  Payback stinks though, because now that she has shown she can get it done faster, we are ALL required to get it done faster and she can't understand what happened to cause this stressful atmosphere. \nP.S.- She gets most of her tasks done faster than the rest of us by not doing them, or not finishing them correctly! Wish the boss could see that!!!

Have you noticed if they do this with anyone else on the job? If so they are just one of those touchy feely people.

my boss was a dork he used to chat up everything in a skirt. i used to wind him up all  the time but he loved it. thing is are you sure he does not mind and more importantly if not why not. even if he doesn't mind now it will come back and haunt you one day. in my case he liked it cos he thought we had a chemistry!!!!! untill i had a dispute with my contract and he tried to back me up. result i left and he got fired but is normally the other way round. so beware.

I went through this with one boss.  I was so stressed out that I was sick at work, then had a death in the family.  It was an awful time.  In the end, they fired me.  As it turned out, though, they were in the wrong.  Bad on them.\n\nIt can certainly happen.

My boss at my last job did, that's why I left. He was verbally abusive towards his employees. He would call them into meetings just to vent, cussing everyone out for NO reason. He would never tell us what we were doing good but that every thing was always bad (which, it wasn't). He would scream, use VERY graphic language (fu.ck, gd...), tell us that we "needed our job because no other place would take us", and so on. He was the biggest prick I have EVER worked for and I've worked for quite a few.
