This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

Slimy Brian
Working in an R&D department in Romford, my boss was a really creepy chap, about 50.

Once while I was in his office, a secretary came in and had to chop the old company name off the calendars (don't ask). She stood on the chair and he quipped "Shame she's not wearing a short skirt, eh?".

Anyhow, one Christmas my department's off to the pub at lunch time. I get back early, as the MD usually comes around and says we can push off early. Which he did. So off I went...

Back in January, two chaps get a written warning from my boss for taking a long lunch - they should have clocked back in. Even though they could have left at 1pm. They were not happy.

Next Christmas he's down there in the pub with them, buying drinks. I bugger off as usual, but they stay, thinking "he's with us, we can't get done this year".

How wrong. His excuse for another written warning for them?
"I don't have to clock in. You do.".
