    Tell me about the worst manager or boss you've ever had/currently have. Remember, if you don't laugh, you cry.

    Worst manager I ever had was for my old paper-round haha. They kept increasing then decreasing my wages. Bollocks to them, said I.

    But what about you, Rye? What horrible managerial problems have you been having of late?

    My manager acts like the princess of TJ Maxx, and had a bitchfit at me for leaving at 7:59, instead of 8:00. D:

    Hmm, well the managers I had at whatta-burger were all pretty great. Mr. Ellis was pretty strict, but that was about it. Management was stingy with the money, but they were pretty decent people

    My manager is very good at communicating. But she sets deadlines about stuff I sometimes can't meet and/or try to death to beat.
    Overall she's a good manager.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    My former manager, at the cleaning contract showed her haggered old face but three times, my induction, another prospective employee induction (who turned out to be ineligible for work as he couldn't produce the right papers), and once to deal with my former colleague (who was fired), who had been caught pilfering toilet tissue. (She was replaced by a much nicer fellow, though.) Can't bash her that much, though, she was nice, did the best with the material she was given, but she had 17 other stores to manage, and I don't think she really had it in her.

    My current manager is a useless tosser. He is NOT a team player, is not the greatest communicator, and when things don't go his way, he takes it out on everyone else, including his own wife, who works there a couple of days a week. He goes off and does things on his own 'initiative,' then 'forgets' to tell anyone else, then whines when something we didn't have a clue about, is not delivered.

    Does my head in. I am working on my resume to e-mail to BT (I am pretty much a shoe-in there!) as we speak...

    I had a manager lecture me because he says people can't talk and sweep at the same time.
