Waking up early and dragging yourself to work is hard enough—but with a horrible boss waiting at the office, things can get too much. From showing a lack of appreciation to being downright unprofessional, these people share the worst bosses they’ve worked with.
I introduced my wife at work. My boss made jokes like, “Bet she married you for your benefits!” and “She’s out of your league.”
Later, he got serious, pulled me aside and said something that made me sick, “Actually, your wife looks like she might need a job. I’ve got an opening for an assistant. Tell her to apply.” After we left, she asked, “Is that the guy you work for every day?”
It hit me hard. I stayed up that night updating my resume. Three weeks later, I got a job offer with better pay and a better boss. I took it without hesitation.
