The one who plays favorites, is never around, excessively socializes, only criticizes, the one who is always the BOSS and never the coworker, friend, ally, etc. The one who breaks the rules, but makes sure you return the memo (with the rules on it) signed ASAP. The one who knows absolutely nothing (but what you tell them) about your job. The one who talks crap about other people that she supervises, in front of other people she supervises.

My current one...only because he is my boyfriend. I don't recommend mixing business with pleasure. See, the other employees think I have it easy but the fact of the matter is that he is harder on me and expects more from me than he does from anyone else. If someone else screws up, they get a little talking to. If I screw up (which doen't really happen that much) then it's like the end of the freaking world and I get outright yelled at. Not only that but he also takes advantage of me at work because of our personal relationship. Always asking me to come in or stay later or do this or that. It really sucks.

My worse manager was also the president of the company...a very smart, technically-capable woman who drove employees out the door almost as fast as she could higher them! This lead to 300 percent turnover in the 2+ years that I managed to last there. However, it was one of the best LEARNING experiences that I've ever had...unfortunately, on what NOT to do as a manager!?!

I had one that was about 5 foot nothing with a napoleon complex. He would constantly berate employees for no reason making you feel worthless. About half of the staff quit. I eventually quit and kept in contact with some of my friends from work. About 5 months later he had sex with an underage employee and the corporate office found out about it. She also called his wife to tell her about it. The guy had three kids! He was fired his, wife divorced him, and his life was pretty much ruined. It might sound bad, but made me smile.

I had a manager that would walk around the office floor around starting time (we didn't punch a clock) to see who was in their office and who was not. I guess that's not that bad, but I felt that since we were adults, we should be treated as such.

oh, man. an indian guy at a hotel i worked at. he made mistakes all the time, and blamed other people. he would always take credit for others ideas. and he was forever dumping all his work off on others. and he would actually bring his girlfriends to the hotel and take them to guestrooms, and instructed us that if his wife called, he was at the bank. i finally ended up telling her the day i quit. i hated that guy!
