Drama Boss

31. Mar, 2010 0 Comments

My old boss used to go to visit his girlfriend for the weekend in another state. He would always "work from home" that Friday and Monday but he'd be mysteriously out of pocket for around 3 hours (the length of the flight to her town). When I asked to work from home he said the COO complained about me doing it too much and that I resented his authority over me. Then they promoted him to Vice President.

3 hour absence, my boss is a child, working from home

Napping is illegal on company time.

Good morning!

God, if I have to hear my boss walk by my office one more day (arriving hors late, no less) and cheerfully say "Good Morning!" as she walks by, I am just going to lose it.

Will I be productive today?

My supervisor asked me if i was going to do any work today...I responded "that wasn't in my plans".

Employee of the month

I spend a majority of my 8 â€“ hour work day tweeting and refreshing my Facebook page. When my supervisor enters my office I minimize my “personal” screen and display an uncompleted excel spreadsheet from last year. Today I was awarded employee of the month.

Process…Process

When my boss is clueless with a strategy he starts to inform everyone that we need to install a "process". No one knows what the fuck he's talking about. I hate the word process.

Porn Hugs

Today my boss caught me watching porn. I got scared and started to cry. My penis was still in my hand. Awkwardly she tried to comfort me and gave me a hug. I think I'm going to have to quit.

Work Lesson #14:

If you’re skipping work on a Tuesday b/c your “sick” cover all your bases. If your boss is your facebook friend, status statements that read “I was so wasted last night” doesn’t look good. Neither do iphone pics of you doing body shots.

The term “to get fired” comes from when clans of long ago wanted to get rid of unwanted people without killing them, they would burn their houses down.

Read your messages before you press send. Forwarding emails to your boss that read “this bitch is tryin’ to get buck” is not the smartest way to a promotion.
