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,

Having annoying habits such as snapping his (her) fingers when he (she) wants something
Obsessive compulsiveness

Condoms vs. Contact Lens
I was hired to be a customer service rep at an online company that sold contact lenses. It was owned by a former emergency room doctor. On the side, along with a number of other things, they sold condoms. They had at least 13 websites that were all theirs, all ...

Boss is a liar

He claims to have sent my paycheck out on a Thursday.
E-mail #1 (from me) on the following Thursday, 7 days ...
