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.
Bruce Springsteen jokes = Ban, ridicule

A few years back
I was working in a office job in Liverpool. It was a 24/5 job, so we worked shift.
The boss worked days, 9-5pm or 2-11pm, He was quite a pedantic, rule follower. Procedures had to be followed, and no one was to step out of line. So if you wanted to do any mischief, do it outside of his working hours.
One night shift i came into the office, about 10:30pm. There was a loud banging noise coming from the staff room. I walk closer, and I see my mate wobbling the vending machine side to side, making the sweets fall out, and collecting them. He was doing quite well, about a dozen bars of chocolate were already on the floor next to his feet.
He notices me and quickly begs me to keep this a secret, he could get the sack!
With a bribe of a Kit Kat Chunky in my hand as I left - i never told a soul.
Until a few weeks later, when the same thing happened.
I returned to the staff room on the same shift, only this time, there was the noise of more than one person.
As i entered the Staff room ,there’s my mate pushing and pulling the side of the Vending machine, and kneeling on the floor, is my Boss, with an open Twix in his left hand and his right hand inside the retrieval box.
The both saw me, Froze, laughed like little school kids then offered me the usual bribe...
I like kit Kats...
