10 Signs You Might Be A Bastard of a Boss
1. You send a company-wide email informing your underpaid employees of the luxury car you have for sale.
2. You think stale chocolate and ramen noodles are a great company benefit for your employees.
3. You make your sales team fly redeye so you can save a few dollars.
4. You try to screw people out of their vacation pay just because they had the audacity to give in their two week notice.
5. Your employee of the month prize, which is a gift card, is always late because you spend two weeks bidding for cards on ebay.
6. You try to fix employee morale issues by mandatory company lunches, where you spend most of the lunch hour talking about work.
7. You make your long-time employees park two blocks away, while your newly ‘hired’ dimwitted brother-in-law gets a reserved parking spot.
8. You ask your sales women to sleep in the same hotel room with your sales men when on business trips so you can save money.
9. You refuse to allow someone qualified to rise to a position of responsibility because she is a ‘girl’.
10. You attend a client meeting, and cause the client to cancel due to your lack of knowledge, yet you blame the loss on a low level employee who was only present for five minutes during the meeting.

That sounds like a couple of my last bosses alright..
Sounds like my current Boss, only she’s female, so we’d have to invert the gender things.
Hahaha. Best list in a while.
This sounds way too specific to not be a personal list. You should forward this to your boss, see what he thinks of it. I’m sure he’ll get a kick out of it!
Ah. A BossTard.
OH MY GOD!!! Number 6 is an on-going policy at our office!
This list is why The Salesmen have a career! We could write an entire album on half of this Top 10 alone!!!
I think #3 was a Steve Ballmer policy at Microsoft. I didn’t work there, but I heard he even made Gates fly Coach.
This sounds suspiciously like Best Buy……………..
11. Call your employee into your office on a Thursday, tell them what a great job they are doing, inform them of a bonus. Also inform them they have won ‘Top Performer’ of the quarter recognition, with an additional bonus. Plan to meet with that employee later next week to set goals for coming quarter… then send that employee and their whole division out the door, cardboard box(es) in hand the following Tuesday. (Personal experience!)
