Watch it without the sound on. Even the botox can't hide the annoyance and horror and inner thoughts of "am I making enough money for this?" looks on Megyn Kelly's face. It's very, very funny.

I agree to this. My co-worker has been reminding me of other shit I forgot. I could definitely write a whole article.

You have got to write an article about these ebay bosses. I think jezebel should pick the craziest bosses and have each person write a real piece about what it was like.

Don't be shy, don't send in paperwork—TALK TO PEOPLE! Do you know any members of the board from your time there? Call them. If you don't know anyone specifically, call the chair and any officers. (Also call anyone you thought was cool and/or nice). Tell them you're interested in the job. Ask them what you should do

Do it, if you've still got good relations with the board/contacts there. You don't have a thing to lose.

My last boss was the absolute worst. She was narcissistic, vindictive, conniving, and all around an unpleasant person to work for. The worst part of it was that the woman had enough charisma to dupe anyone who spent minimal amounts of time with her so most people familiar with the organization thought she was a dream.

I am SO disappointed I didn't see this thread earlier. I will probably be buried in the gray because I can't seem to get out of it no matter how hard I try, but I had to share my story. I hope someone sees it.

I bet you're an unpopular boss yourself.

It was like a call answering service? It was a fairly surreal job because in some cases you had to pretend like you were in the office of the client in Miami, Denver, etc, even though I was sitting in NYC.

When I was 17-year-old wide-eyed innocent straight out of school I took an admin/sales job in the village where my mum lived. It was a family-run travel agency, based out of their home, and I got to know them pretty well over the 8 months I worked there - 7 days a week oh my Christ what was I thinking?

What about the one who hired me right out of college and I only belatedly realized he only hired white-presenting women between the ages of 23 and 27 so that he would have women of his "type" to hit on (daily, hourly) in the office? He used to use our one-on-one meeting times (UGH) to 1) give me no actual work

Think this through once more. Idiot boss's bad behavior is idiot boss's fault (obviously). The way an underling REACTS to or addresses the mistreatment is their responsibility, yes, but of course that's different. Even a smart, proactive employee may have to "accept" crappy supervision for some period of time, in

F That, my shit head of boss could not find a good assistant once I put the word out. This was a PR firm that several celebs. I had 3 jobs offers that day, plus shitty boss asking me to come back. I actually chased him around the office and told I would beat the F out of him if he ever cursed at me again. I earned my

OMG I HAVE ONE!

She did like to tell us how popular she was in high school and how much everyone loved her. She referred to her birthday month as "her" month and put her name in front of it. She also used to always tell me "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" as I would eat an ice cream cone or something.

Tip of the iceberg; I've repressed most of it ; P

"But the best one? She had me box up her deceased husband's undergarments to be shipped to his family"

I worked for a rural domestic violence shelter in Wyoming and applied for a position as an advocate/outreach educator. The first warning bell sounded when I received my written invitation (pre-interwebs) to apply. It was riddled with typos that would have made a grammar teacher cry and instructed me to show up at the

Ooh, I had a boss like that! I had a reoccuring health issue, and had to go for lots of tests and treatments, my boss told me if I left work early or called in sick one more time I would loose my job (right after I said I needed to leave early again). So I stood at the cash register crying and the district manager

My last job was for a couple who ran an e-bay store. I was supposed to take pictures/measurements/etc. of the products and write auctions. My bosses were goddamn insane. They were every Jersey Shore stereotype that you can think of... They chain smoked endlessly and I wound up stealing "Dungeon Dragon" a la Nicki
