[quote=Anonymous]I am up for a promotion.  Immediate boss, his boss, and his boss have all reviewed and said, YES you totally deserve this.  But we are not going to do it until this arbitrary thing is finished, without which you would still meet all the qualifications anyway.  nanner nanner boo boo.
I have one boss who continually sleeps through meetings.  Like snores.  Then misses everything and claims that we "didn't include him in the process"  he has slept through several people's ANNUAL REVIEWS.  Yup, just him, #2 boss, and the staffer.  Snoring.
I have a boss who compares everything to "what I did in my house."  "When I redid my kitchen, we did XYZ.  So that totally translates to this 20 million dollar electronics facility we are building.  Why does it cost more than $4,000?  Bc that's what my kitchen cost."
I am told to work more hours (salaried, so unpaid overtime) because there is a backlog of work. I kick ass, take names, get like 80 hours out of the backlog in 3 days (mostly weeding out the junk).  I go to boss, say "More work, please!"  He looks at me like I've just asked for a kidney - "I don't have more to give you."  Ummmm.  Excuse me?  Okay, I am going home.  Then uber-boss wants to know why I am not putting in more time.  "Can't DH pick up the kids, we really need you here!"  Umm, no, clearly I am not needed here any longer.  I'll see you in the AM.

My bosses continually forward me emails, saying FYI... which is nice, except they are forwarding me an email THAT I SENT THEM.

I once had a boss who totally believed any urban legend was true... like KFC chickens didn't have feet or beaks or whatever.  We did a study once for people with STDs... she rented chairs for the occasion and hid all of ours so they couldn't sit in them (all study participants were fully clothed the entire time, btw).  She was hysterically out of control but made up for it by taking the entire month of August off, leaving us staffers to "run" the office and have fun.[/quote]
