Oh boy I could go on forever about a number of former bosses. The most recent bad experience my boss was finally let go. He took credit for what I did, blamed me for his mistakes, left my personnel record in a pile of paperwork in a desk drawer that a co-worker found after he left. Most of my meetings with him triggered panic attacks.

I worked for a small business just prior to this job (I've been at my current job going on 13 years) and he would spy on me, demanded that I support him in his decisions, even when I didn't agree with them. When his decisions cause a near stop in cash in-flow and he couldn't make payroll, he told all the employees that he did what he did because I recommended it (I very strongly discouraged him from making this move). He committed bank fraud several times and was known to rip off customers. I was so glad to leave that place. I took a pay cut to get out of there.

My current job.... well one of our division managers, who manages a majority of our projects just gave notice. Our division chief has an issue with drinking during the work day (I smelled alcohol on his breath the morning before last at 9 am, and a meeting I had with him yesterday he seemed confused at times, had a hard time following our conversation, he's been seen staggering in the parking lot several times. I took all of this with a grain of salt until I witnessed it for myself). The manager that gave notice would be the logical choice to run the division if he gets canned. So basically we are in deep do-do right now. It's a very volatile situation. I don't want him to get fired, the two logical people who could temporarily run our division until they found a permanent replacement are both back stabbers. At least it's Friday.
