Tory Johnson from abcnews.com has a quick, mailbag article from last week that I missed. I truly enjoy these anecdotal topics. This one covers “bad” bosses – I give you my favorite from the article:
“While working for a computer company, I would take dictation from one of the vice presidents, an owner. He’d take his shoes off, put his foot on the desk, and clip his toenails while dictating letters to me! Yuck.”
Hope you weren’t eating when you read that one. I have a similar story regarding a former boss who would chew his fingernails during meetings and then spit them on the floor. One time he he our office manager in the face with one of the nails he spit out! He apologized and continued chewing.
Ok, I apologize for getting Monday off to a low-brow start, but I couldn’t resist.
