All Purpose Asshole

As noted above, we have created 5 specific boss types. The All Purpose Asshole has been created as a catchall for all of those situations that do not fall neatly into any of the above categories.

Some of the boss behaviours that fall into this category are:

Delegating all of his (her) work, but taking all of the credit for the accomplishments,
Acting pessimistic about everything - nothing that anyone does will ever work, everyone is doomed to failure
Having annoying habits such as snapping his (her) fingers when he (she) wants something
Obsessive compulsiveness

Clueless Employees

Yes, I'm the all purpose, tyrant, insensitive, criticizing, micro-managing asshole BOSS. Since this site is called 'BossBitching.com' I thought I would bitch a little. This is exactly why you employees feel we are so assholes, you don't even know how to title a website correctly. It should ...
