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

At the struggling dotcom company where I once worked
A meeting was called by a senior manager to discuss productivity – specifically, our lack of it. Unfortunately, it was held in a glass-walled room that backed onto the uber-boss’s office.
As a result, we rank-and-file watched the manager of the company play spider solitaire for 45 minutes straight, while the second-in-command made suggestions over his shoulder, all while being told we weren't working hard enough.
I really felt like I was on the management fast-track after that.
