    My boss was a really awesome guy. Lax, but always willing to help out or teach me something I needed to know. He'd buy us lunch quite often, try to get me more hours when I wanted them, etc. Basically as good a boss as I could've asked for, except that sometimes he'd just leave on a nice day to take a hike or something.

    Then, about six months after I left work to go to college, I found out he'd been embezzling funds from the library for about 10 years and had stolen at least $10,000.

    My boss is cool. She lets me play pranks and gives me a lift home sometimes.

    I've only ever had one boss (for work experience) but he was great xD He listening to Don McLean, was passionately against the rival companies and let me go out for lunch as long as I wanted (mainly because I had little work xD) -- and since it was World Cup time and the street opposite was the one with all best pubs and restaurants -- it worked.

    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    I could say Derek the Duty Manager. He had it a little rough at home, divorce, kids involved ect ect so maybe I could have forgiven him for the odd bit of bitching but well theres no way that excused the following:

    He told me in a DISCIPLINARY ACTION HE GAVE ME (btw they're not allowed to hold a disciplinary if they give it you where I work so I had the written warning he gave me thrown out pretty sharpish) that "He didn't like me" and "didn't want me to work for the company" both of which were grounds for me to have him put on a disciplinary but when it came to the transcript of what was said those comments were struck from the record...my word versus the duty managers.

    Told me a week before my permanent contract came through that if I failed to do all the work he set me (which btw was a ridiculous amount of clothing which is not even my dept) I wouldn't have a job the next week. He however had not done his homework I used to work in a clothing store, I whacked out the clothing faster than any clothing assistant could have, when the store manager said "Oh you've done a lot today" he claimed all responsibility and made it sound like I'd done nothing but get in the way. Strangely he hadn't been on shop floor since giving me the work he'd been in the canteen playing pool!

    He regulary threatened to sack me or have me sacked because I wouldn't take crap from him or any other manager. In effect because my face didn't fit the company he didn't want me working there.

    Thats about the worst manager I've had to work for, strangely the company and his divorce made him crack and he quit working for the place. Funny, he'd PROMISED me he would be there when I was long gone.
