ok, lets send our bosses to hell. some of them r nice, but most of them just a pain in the ass.
they boss around, think they always know better, expect u to be superman, if u have an idea its his idea, if it goes wrong u r to blame...i could go on like this. im sure we all have lived unpleasant moments with our superiors.

so what do u find most irritating or disgusting about them?

The fact that they earn more than i do.

Stop whinging and become your own boss... start a business or sign up for Amway

A good manager does bugger all as they should be good at delegating!

May I suggest reading 'The art of war'?

Apparently Donald Trump read it and implemented the strategies into his work and look where he is now!

Also 'Get that monkey off my back'.

I can work non stop 12 hours and I've still not done enough... and they've started docking my wages for typos in emails... pieces of coverage that are late etc... drives me up the bloomin wall.

Maybe I should start a my own war in the office... The Art of War is over 2000 years old and it won the Chinese some fair battles in their time. Once I've read it properly I'll be on towards world domination so who'll need my poxy boss anyway!!!!!!!

Man, that's tough. Deductions for typos? Eh not everyone's perfect, god knows my typing has a lot to be desired.

Personally I want to work the least possible amount of hours for the most possible money.

Yeah, should have asked why others left before I took the job... Didn't know I'd end up working for Hitler and the Nazi's!!!!

I need a career change... I'm thinking of becoming a model scout!!!

Hehehe, sounds good. Tell you what I have a friend who's selling apartments here, wow the amount of commission is amazing, like a years salary in a week!

Sounds good!! I love nosing at apartments too... But don't think it'd be as much fun here as it is in London... 'Can I sell you the apartment in Bur Dubai that's going to fall down in 5 years or the stunning apartment in the marina that's going to fall down in 2 years??'

Hmm, don't think I'd make such a great sales woman!!!

My GM is an idiot! The worst thing is he asks you a question and does not stop to listen to the answer all in the meantime get himself all wound up so he starts swearing and going off ..... if he stopped to listen he would understand there is no reason to be getting upset ....

My current boss is great.

My previous boss in Australia... well, hell has a special place for him. He was just a total two faced incompetent ninkompoop that you wouldn't trust with a dozen eggs.

As for being docked for typos, man, I should get paid for the amount of typos I pick up from our agency, which I might add is one of the most prestigious gigs in Dubai. I have to wonder if their copywriters can even spell the word 'English'.

I dont have any problems with our MD,both from UK.

But my previous employer,an American,he sucks. Though he pays on time he treats everybody like dogs(except me as Im her beautiful spy), he shouts, go to the office drunk (most of the time), and can never speak without saying the f@ck word. Cant stand him so I left the company... :D
