What if your boss OWNS the forum???Originally Posted by LMC
If your boss reads the forum maybe better not to post...
although this is a thread meant for minor irritations rather than industrial tribunal evidence... (I just feel like a moan, so there)
On the whole, I have a great boss - he didn't bat an eyelid when I took a 1h45 hour lunch break yesterday (Tessalicious' fault). He doesn't bear grudges if he has to tell me off (and 99.9% of the time I deserve it) and he's generous (and specific) with praise.
BUT
Every so often he feels the need for a "cleansing". No, my job description does not include administration of colonic irrigation. It's what he calls the hour-long sessions he spends going through all his in/out/pending trays, throwing some paper out, piling a larger proportion on his desk to "deal with", delegating an even larger proportion to me and the rest goes back in the trays. "Why oh why" does he feel the need for me to be sat there, basically doing SFA while he does this? It's flattering to be an inspiration and all, but an inspiration to tidy up?
What does your boss do that drives you nuts?

There's an A.P.P. for that!
I think that I was trying to say that my boss owns the forum. It's quite simple really. Nothing hidden in there at all!!Originally Posted by Franck
Breathing.
My boss does this too...I've come to realise that she needs support to be organised and me sitting the other side of her desk while she talks (mainly to herself) about what needs doing makes her more efficient. She also pays me by the hourOriginally Posted by LMC

Apart from breathing as TT saidOriginally Posted by LMC
She wears these hideous suits and thinks she looks amazing. She also complains if you have a hair out of place.
.............what's it worth for me not to tell her...Originally Posted by Aleks

I think that there's a much better blackmail opportunity here:

And what you do, when you are the Boss and you know your staff read the forum?Originally Posted by TheTramp
T are you reading this
My boss has many irratating habits:-
Still in her dressing gown and slippers when we have customers.
Having morning breath.
Not calculating the vat right on the invoices and adding them to sage.
Losing the cheque and paying in books.
Having no memory.
Not letting me have a lunch break.
Saying the most embarassing things to customer ie:- This customer was breast feeding her baby the other day and my boss said "hey what great nipples you have! Can I cast them I was so embarrassed.
Being moody.
Being really messy.
Not clearing up the dead creatures that her cat catches. A dead mouse was under my desk yesterday.
Leaving me with her 96 year old mother in law for a week whilst she goes on holiday.
The list goes on and on.
Can anyone beat this?
Hmmmm, lemmeseee..........Originally Posted by Missy D
My boss is really unorganised, comes in late all the time, expexts me to work with hazardous materials without proper safety equipment, expexts me to eat whilst working, talks to herself, has no clue about filing paper work etc etc.... There's no end to her bad habits! And the worst bit is.................
...........................it's me!!!
Waits till 12:50pm, suddenly seems to remember that I finish at 1pm and phones/arrives in my office with something that needs done before I go!Originally Posted by LMC
That's not my boss, that's just the stearing wheel i've got down my pants (think about it...............).Originally Posted by LMC
I've got no boss!! (that's cos i've got no job ). So, if any of you out there would like to do a swap for a day, i'd gladly put up with yours.
