The worst boss I ever had was a tyrant who had small man syndrome. Nothing I did seemed good enough for him. He gave me an A+ employee review and fired me a week later.

I have had some bad experiences with some bosses in my time. The one that sticks with me is my last boss who hired myself and a few other managers to "manage" but she wouldn't allow us to manage. It angered me that she paid us money to put up with the crap that we did.
Reason #100 that I was glad to be laid off.

Wow, this could be a whole novel. I worked for a company for 3 months, got promoted into a management position (the previous employee took a different management position in our same dept - so it's not like I stole her job or anything) A year goes by our department gets a horrible merge with another department. I lose my boss (department head), I get demoted (at least I didn't lose my job like 15 others!) and the other gal is now the 'new boss' of the dept. She always was a b*tch to me, but since our boss was gone it went into full effect... she changed my hours that didn't work with my schedule (we have 1 car and a son) she 'scheduled' my lunch hour - which NO ONE in our dept. has a scheduled lunch hour and made all of these accusations that I wasn't a team player... So, I wasn't being a team player when the past two weeks you've left me alone in the department (against security policy) so you could leave early to get ready for you date with this new guy???? I'm 24, she's 38 I was surely the adult in that situation. And, I could go on...

Honestly, I've had good bosses except my first. My first real job when I was a senior in high school I worked at a little one screen movie theater. He did not like me for personal reasons (dating the guy his daughter got turned down by). SO he'd underschedule me, or schedule me to work late the night before the SATs. He would write me up for stupid things, or make things up. He lied to his boss (whose name/face/etc i didn't even know so no room to correct it). Basically I lost my job because I was making out in the concession stand with my boyfriend where anyone could see. Supposedly. Really, we were Closed, boss had left me alone, and my boyfriend was helping me lift some of these carbonated canister thigns for the soda machine (heavy) and I was several feet away cleaning something. He Was allowed to help if he was willing btw. As my first job I didn't know I could dispute the accusations on our little writeup form til a few weeks later. Oh well, who wants to work for someone trying so hard to fire them? at least I didn't have to put up with him trying to stare down my top while he hated me and did his petty crap.

I have an experience that was simultaneously the worst and best manager/employee relationship ever. My manager (technically not my boss, she couldn't up and fire me if she felt like it) and I got along great the first couple of months we worked together. So great, in fact, that she liked me well enough to set me up with a friend of hers. We (the friend and I) started dating.
After a few weeks my manager realized that now that her friend wasn't single anymore he had a lot less time to hang out with her! Cue jealousy. She started giving me the worst shifts (Thursday, friday, and Saturday closing shifts) and actually encouraged him to break up with me because "she has seizures". Yes, I have epilepsy, but who would use that to try and break up a relationship?
Anyway, thanks to some intervention from the company owner the scheduling issue was fixed, my manager was fired 6 months later for unrelated reasons, and she came to my wedding earlier this year. I married the friend she set me up with!

I had the best job teaching ballroom dance, but the worst boss in the world. When she laid me off, I almost kissed her feet and thanked her! She was bipolar, and a recovering alcoholic, and she didn't know how to manage a company. She would use threats, snide remarks, and her "mothering instincts" to get her way. It was one to remember and avoid at all costs!

HA! I have never had a good boss. No, I've had one, but I only worked there for 2 years during college (I was an intern). But in my string of 3 bosses at my current job, the first was by far the worst. Some highlights of her reign were: I had to pick up her drycleaning everyday, I've had to take her to personal medical appointments and sit in on them, I have had to bring a urine sample into the clinic for her, I got reprimanded in a room full of State legislators because she couldn't read her own handwriting, I've been hit in the head with bouncy balls when she got angry, I have had to do the same project over repeatedly because she lost the previous 15 versions of it, I had to come into work 4 hours after getting out of the hospital from giving birth to do the payroll, I had to let her dog eat my pants while I was on a phone call, pick up after her dog while dogsitting in our office even though I have a fear of dogs and this was an out of control beagle that ate everything and shit every 15 minutes, and oh I could go on! :) And then the boss after her came to the hospital when I was giving birth to my second child to ask me a question and copped an attitude with the nurses who said I was busy. And now my current boss---I'll save those stories for later. :)

I had a boss (quite recently) who got me drunk so that he could borrow money off me. Needless to say I'm not working there any more.
I wrote about it here.
This guy had small man syndrome, but small mind syndrome too. Fucking asshole haha

In high school I worked in an office that was much like the one on the television program - my boss was dense as all hell, but overly cheerful, especially when saying things like, "So you're really going to need to get 20 hours worth of work done in two hours today. Okay, great! Awesome! Thanks Jane!" with a really big grin. Painful.
