Getting rid of arsehole bosses

T

the button

out on the kocker
A particular favourite of mine was the one who started getting his credit card statements delivered to work: a common sign of "playing away from home" in my experience.

Unfortunately, his partner worked for the same employer, and unfortunately one of said credit card statements was opened "in error" and sent to her "in error." And seemed to show overnight stays in hotels that she didn't know about. Oh dear.

Anyways, he left shortly afterwards, a broken man. :)

Have any other readers fucked over an arsehole boss in similar, or more imaginative ways?

All ideas gratefully received. :cool:
 
hmmm I have got a manager sacked before. It was great.

He was a bullying sleaze bag that bullied a union member until she had to leave work with depression for two months - never to return as she couldn't face seeing his incredibly ugly face ever again...

He got sacked for bullying before we could have the whole organisation up in a tribunal, which shows also that mangement will hang other managers out to dry as soon as look at them - and he didn't even get a leaving do. He was also a Chelsea fan. This made everything triply as sweet...

:cool:
 
This isn't getting rid of as such, but a few years back, my manager was physically attacked by a member of the public in the office. No-one did fuck all, and even the security guard went out for a smoke.

Comedy gold. :D
 
Its a difficult things sometimes trying to get shot of piss poor managers, I tried this whilst working for A4e, one of the managers was on my case about uncomleted casework all the time, I had to point out to this numpty that I had obtained more exam passes than all of the turos ut together at the other local centres, which was the crux of what my job was all about, he continued putting me through these tedious dispipliaries and extended my probationary period despite all the really good work I'd done, I complained higher up the chain of command, my complaints fell on unsympathetic ears so I complained to the women who actually owns the company, she passed my complaint onto one of the directors who wrote me a contentless letter that meant jack shit.
 
I've been representing union members against one particular bullying manager for two years now. I've managed to deal with each one in turn and support the member. Unfortunately, beyond that, there doesn't seem to be anything further (legal) i can do. The cards are stacked in the manager's favour (recently promoted for bullying services to the org).
 
Nah, had one up against the wall with my fist in his face though.

It was when I'd just moved to Amsterdam and I had this bullying manager who everyone hated. I managed to avoid his unpleasantness for a while until he started tapping my head when he walked past. He did it again a day later so I thought, third time and I'm biting.

Two hours later he does it again, I jump up put him against the wall and say 'do that again and I'll knock you the fuck out'. He tried to make light of it and I said 'do you understand, I don't appreciate it'. 'yes' he says 'do you want a cup of coffee?'. He never fucked with me again and I was sacked about a year later after a sustained backstabbing from the fellow.

Saw him in a pub a few months later and he ran out quick time. Often I find managers are the Roscoe P. Coltrane's of business but not always.

Worked at a big Cancer charity once. Fucking horrible place to work. Room fulls of temps working non-stop overseen by one or two permanent staff who chatted on the phone, surfed the net etc. The permanent staff would summarily sack the temps for whatever they felt like and as most of the temps were aussie/kiwis they never stood up to it. After witnessing two such dismissals I sent an anonymous letter to the Chairman, copying in the Office manager, the Managing Director and the Board detailing what was going on.

Next day we were all invited into another room and told how 'valued' we were and how we could come and talk about any problems. The next week the manager was watching everyone like a hawk trying to work out who had sent the letter. Hopefully it fucked up her pay rise that year.

I got the boot because while the computer system was down (and I couldn't do any work) I played solitaire :D The manager took me aside and told me I needed to be careful if I wanted any 'future' with the charity. I told her that I didn't have any 'future' as I was temping and was planning to leave at the end of the week. She lost her rag and sacked me there and then.

So you didn't get them the boot?
 
Idaho: Do you expect 3rd worlders to be as tolerant of those that organize capital as you are? I guess for your next trick you'll be denying that capitalism is such a thing as capitalism.

If it is then no I didn't.

I suppose I'm wound up about the amount of posts crowing about beating bosses up, getting them the sack and generally treating a person really badly and it's all justified by them having a management job.

What a truly awful place this forum is today.

You could add lemon to the mix, or just leave it plain. Either way the hatstand should survive to see another wildebeast.

Yeah it makes you realise that these radical types are actually pretty vicious people. Explains why revolutions are usually amongst the most murderous and horrific things humans ever have to endure.

No. She probably had a family to feed to. She was a horrible old bag to the temps, but I'm sure she had her nice sides.

Much like 'normal life' under the current state of affairs then. Go on then relate that to your biological determinist 'theory' then.

I am, as it goes. He was a truly nasty piece of shit, who did his best to make his underlings' life a misery. Had he not been a truly nasty piece of shit, he wouldn't have got himself fucked up.

Yeah, fuck managers.

I'm sure they can find work elsewhere, being so important and all.

Aye, because all bosses are the same aren't they? They're all put together in a factory near Daventry and should be lumped together with ludicrous hyperbolic oversimplifications like the above.

What is this? A special day long edition of 'Cheggers plays (the) cock' or something.

Let's leave the comedy rants for another day eh...

They're not important, in the great scheme of things. However, they do have the ability to make their underlings' lives an absolute fucking misery, "over & above the call of duty," as it were.

I wouldn't try and get rid of any manager I was working under, certainly. Only the special ones, every now and then.
 
I did dob a boss in for theft, purely because I found out he was planning to stitch up a mate of mine for all the missing stock. If he'd played a long game and not tried to incriminate anyone else I wouldn't really have given a toss whether he'd bankrupted the company, as the owners were crooked arses themselves.

He wasn't very well-loved anyway, this fella. Some dirty rotten scoundrel ( ;) ) broke into his garage while he was on holiday and had it away with the engine and transmission from his brand new (at the time, obviously) Nissan Patrol 4x4.
