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

Have been temping for this company for four months now. I have interviewed for the position twice. The second time I was told I wasn't what the company wanted. I questioned my 'boss', who does not work in this office, and she came up with my Microsoft Office experience ...

Never work for Writers
In college, I got a job as a personal assistant to a well-known writer in NYC. The first couple days went fine until her demands became not only childish but impossible to accomplish. This all happened on one day.
1) I was sent to a music shop to get a ...

My boss is a jerk X's 100
My boss is a culmination of all these descriptions combined. My boss stated to me today during a meeting that I had upset someone in another office. However, he never could give me a clear cut answer as to how, or a specific example. Then I noted, that I haven ...

an ass and a half
I am a nurse working for the biggest A hole I have ever met. He is so inappropriate at all times. He has a Masters degree in social work and looks down at anyone who has less education. He once said, and I quote," so much stupid fucking shit comes ...
