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.

terrible boss.To be absolutely fair, he was handicapped, and probably in a lot of pain, and I think he had personal issues with his family. BUT, knowing why someone's a terrible boss, and being sorry for them because of it, doesn't make them not terrible.
One thing he'd do is, when people came to him with a problem, he'd tell them that they HAD to get it fixed or they'd get into a lot of trouble - but not give any clue as to how he wanted that done. For example once some important plans had gone missing, and his response was just "you'd better find them!" - not any advice about where they might be, or who might know, or what to say if the clients ask. Basically "management by fear and terror."
Oh God, I've just remembered he was a New Ager as well. Not a problem as such, but he'd use these methods to make workplace decisions. And he'd get *very* aggressive if anyone showed any skepticism.
But his attitude to Occupational Health & Safety was the worst part. Seriously, he literally didn't seem to care if someone got injured because he wouldn't take a little bit of effort. Of course that little habit bit him on the arse in the end - one laser beam in the wrong place and an entire battle-station blew up.
