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.

Dodgy boss...
So as I've mentioned previously here, in a past life I worked for a company supplying "adult" telephone services. The owner of this company & my boss was a "character" if you want to be charitable.

Some examples:-

Before I even joined as I was recruited through an agency I was asked to lie about the salary I'd accepted so the fee would be lower.

He could never go back to the USA as he was wanted in 7 states for fraud.

In a meeting, fags would be offered around the table being a non smoker I answered "No thanks, I don't smoke", the response was "Why don't you start"

The first 2-3 weeks I was working there there was a bin outside full of smoldering financial records.

In a similar vein the Madrid office was 'closed' with a can of four star.

I decided it was time to leave when I was brought a spam pyramid scam email with the comments "This is a really good idea, can we do this"
