The BossMy 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.

I've had two bosseswho were very good at their jobs. If they left, the company would've just fell apart. No micro-management, no bullshit, no pointless meeting about leveraging synergy, just out an out hard graft and efficient productivity, with the rest of us workforce feeling that we were well managed and felt quite satisfied how productive we were.
But there is always a flipside to every coin. Both of these bosses have had the people skills of Stalin with a hangover. On one occasion, I went into the office to discuss something and she said "Get out!" before I had even said anything. She did this to anyone who went to her about somethig without being invited first.
It was easier to keep out of her way, and any communication was done by email after that.

I'dhave kicked her in the cnut if she'd talked to me like that.
