Nightmare bosses....

[jaybee82]

When I was an apprentice I had a boss who took great pleasure in waiting until I had finished something then yelling at me and getting me to re-do it for the most ridiculous reason. I took great pleasure in finding out that in his leisure time he was a frequent flyer at a well known dogging hotspot in the area and chipped in with the golden nugget of info at my leaving drinks. I think he retired soon after...

Sounds very sensible and I admire that you had the guts to leave and run your own business. However, I hope I'm not an insufferable employee as I do actually respect my boss (who is super-intelligent and brilliant at what they do, except of course for the occasional time they comment* on my work ha ha)

Yes thats tough if you don't agree with the company line and feel intellectually stifled.

Thank you so much and best wishes for your retirement.
