Boss Horror Story #2

This past Friday, I reviewed my boss horror story #1, now on to boss #2. The other boss I will talk about a bit on what difficulties I faced, what I observed, and ways to solve the problems that were created. This will help you learn what good management/leadership is, and what it's not.

This other boss, I was working with her a couple hours every day that I worked, then worked with the other manager on the shift for the other time I was at work.

Well, the general manager of this place was not exactly the easiest to get along with. Her focus was all about rules, and if you didn't follow them (or rather, broke at least one), she either yelled at you, or she yelled at the team at our staff meetings. After hearing so much cursing and yelling at our meetings, I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Boss Horror Story #1

Boss Horror Story #1

Today is the first boss horror story that I'd like to tell you about. I'm not here to shoot down a former boss of mine, but rather provide characteristics on what made the boss less effective. So, today is boss #1 from the first job I had.

Here are some of the characteristics that made boss #1 an unhealthy leader:

1. The boss was pushy.
   
   My first boss, which was a third tier manager (meaning there were two managers tiered above her). She was actually rather pushy in almost any request she made to me and a few other co-workers. She actually was nice to her "friends", but mean to other people.
