BAD BOSSES

Here are some real memos and emails that horrible bosses have sent:
– An email: “From now on, no one can request days off anymore. I will do the schedule. If you don’t show up you are fired.”
– Memo: “We have a long-term employee of 17 years who’s been in the hospital and rehab for several months. She has exhausted all her Personal Time Off days. If there is anyone who would like to donate one or more days of their PTO, please let the VP of Financial Services know.”
– Note on water cooler: “Hello Water Drinker: If you would like to enjoy this delicious Poland Spring Water please get signed up to the water club. This water ain’t free yo.” (Is this boss named Jesse Pinkman?)
– Email from owner of a sandwich shop: “Just had two employees quit today without explanation. If anyone can volunteer until I find new staff, i would be eternally grateful and even give you a sandwich.”
– Memo: “I’m not so happy this morning. Yesterday, 3 of you submitted your two weeks notice. The new rule will now require a 3-months notice since that’s how long it took to train you, and your 3-months notice will serve as consent for your base pay to be lowered by $6 an hour.”
– “New Office Rule: For every minute you are late you will be required to work for 10 minutes after 6pm. Thanks.”
– Email exchange: “Did you create an order for this week?” / “I’m confused. Was my position eliminated or not?” / “Yes, but you prepped an order on Sunday and was wondering where it was if at all.” / “Bless your heart. You don’t fire someone and then still contact them to ask questions about the job because you don’t know.”
– Memo: “The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.”
