Bastard
Worst managers I have ever had -

The complete bastard who made me stand outside raising and lowering a small bridge on a canal to let barges into a marina for an entire day, once a week. (I worked for a canal barge company in Stoke for a Sat job and desperately needed the money). He took over the depot and took an instant unfair dislike to me, along with his fuckwit no 2 who was also a complete cock. I hope you both die lonely and bitter, you pair of sad twats.

The bitch I worked for at a financial company in Southampton. She gave me a project to do on my first day, refused to help or support me (what she got paid for), had zero sense of humour and constantly told me that she didnt have to give me any notice if she wanted to get rid of me. I used to get depressed on a Friday because I had to go back on Monday. I got my own back by getting another job and not turning up one day and getting a mate to leave a resignation letter on my desk. She got made redundant not that long afterwards, and yes she did deserve it because she was fucking useless.

The shortarsed cow I worked for at a college of higher education, who extended my probation period because I didnt put a poster up in a certain building and because I got a couple of reports in a day late due to the fact I was run off my feet. She had no clue how to manage people, was an absolute marvel at getting peoples backs up and didnt have the first idea about IT (her job). Typically enough she managed to get a very cushy job at the local council. Her nickname was the Poison Dwarf.

However there ARE some great people (and managers) out there...Mr Ashford, if you read this entry you'll know who I am and I salute you :)

Would this be the marina
next to the China Gardens? I work just up the road from there. That bridge looks like a bastard to open and close.
