Does your boss suck?

If yours really sucks, you might want to enter a contest to find out if you really do put up with more crap than any of the rest of us.

If you think so, head on over to :

Put your story in and see what happens. At the very least, you may leave there feeling like things aren't so bad at your place after all.

Good for you!

I see you guys all have terrific jobs working for people who aren't *********s. That's great. I thought at least one of two of you might be in the same boat as I am.

Good for you.

I had a boss who had such a strangle hold on the organization, everyone was afraid to turn him in. He was always threatening to fire people, and his sexist comments at meetings made everyone uncomfortable. People who kissed up to him laughed at his off-color jokes that weren't very funny. Glad to be away from there.

Friend of mine, US Army Colonel, was told that he could not take leave to be with his wife while she had breast cancer treatment. Isn't that something?

No, we're all just posting from work where our internet usage is subject to employer monitoring.

I'm posting from work but i have a terrific boss that pays me very well and gives his employees all kinds of perks, like free on-site car detailing every two weeks, catered lunches, movie passes, gift cards, etc.

I don't know what you do, but it sounds like a nice place to work. Hey, . . . wait a minute! Are you one of those guys whose company is monitoring their internet usage? I get it. . .

I'm in the trucking business. I used to dispatch but now i mostly do customer care, which i very much enjoy. I just came from a company that DID monitor/restrict internet usage, but my new co. actually encourages internet browsing during downtime, between calls, etc. Keeps our minds fresh they say.
