    Just curious.

    I'm currently chillaxing on my break drinking a nice cup of tea my boss made me :)

    Started here the other week and already love it. They treat me really well and I'm constantly offered tea and biscuits all day. Paper on hand to read when things get quiet (small off licence).

    So whats your boss like? Pricks or sound as a pound?

    He manages me in work.

    Don't really have one.

    I mean. I have "higher uppers" but I'm kinda left to work to my own devices.. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz

    I have no boss, but my last one was a bit of a knob. Think of an angry Fr.Stone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,178 ✭✭✭✭NothingMan


    My manager is bang on and everyone gets on really well with him. His manager is a knob who thinks he's witty and liked when everyone hates him and thinks he's useless and sleazy and I have no idea how he justifies his job.

    Dunno about my boss, but my current manager has most of my work automated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    He's a good singer and a helluva guy.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 489 ✭✭Trashbat


    My boss is dead on but he's leaving at the end of the month. Not going to have a new boss in the traditional sense. I don't mind this.

    I have worked for some nightmare bosses though. Solution to that is getting a better job.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 243 ✭✭Lorri_L


    Dont have one anymore but my last boss was bi polar. Sound one minute and tearing the head off people the next. Didn't handle stress very well at all...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 325 ✭✭I-Shot-Jr


    Well our entire staff just submitted a letter of complaint about our manager to head office so as you can guess he's a bit of a turbocunt.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 219 ✭✭Don Juan DeMagoo


    Smells fishy, I bet you are my boss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭Mickey H


    Last boss was bang on. Had a supervisor and a manager in job before that. Both were complete backstabbing a$$h01e5. :mad::mad::mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Mine is lovely actually. He's a dote.

    The last one was one of the meanest, pettiest, sulkiest, slave driving sycophphantic two faced bullies on the planet though, so I earned this break.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭problemchimp


    my boss is wonderful, talented and quite handsome. Self employed is me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Shivers26


    My boss is totally sound


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Bendihorse


    My boss is okay but hes one of these rushy rushy busy busy types which can get a bit annoying... And he sets up smelly pooh traps for me as per previous post (that got locked :()

    LEAVE THE MMA FOR CHRISTSAKES!!!! It's not worth it, man!

    My boss for the record is bang on. I've had some pricks, most of them were fine people.

    My boss is so nice. He's totally chilled. He texted me to offer me a job! I rarely see him, and only every so often does he text to see how things are. Mostly he just wants to chat about hurling 'cause I once mentioned to him that I go to a lot of GAA matches! He was my best friend after that! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    Whats my boss like? Mostly beer and Blondes, but I believe he also likes expensive cars.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    A legend

    But he should tone down the management speak, he's constantly touching base and running ideas up the flagpole

    Excellent manager but he sounds ridiculous at times


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭BigBrownBear


    Hmmm
    Is there no female 'bosses' out there:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭blaze1


    Current boss is sound..

    In my old job tho, matey had small man syndrome, tried to get you in the **** for everything...
    Favourite saying "its not rocket science"

    never met him so haven't a clue what he is like.

    He's my Dad. At work he's persistent about the work that we should be doing and that's fair in my opinion. He's great though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Perfect.:cool:

    My boss is a closet lesbian who hates men. I have a m1ckey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 333 ✭✭CrazyChick18


    My Boss...

    Tell's us what work he wants done and says thanks when its done and that about it!

    Mines a proper bitch. Drove two lads out of the company through constant harassment and another had a nervous breakdown and is still on sick leave after 6 months.

    I'm her new target which I kinda of enjoy because I like to fight my corner which she hates. She starts twitching and scratching when I give an answer for any pointless issue she has. She loves the girls. Only two guys left now and the other guy is on a temp contract is not being kept on. Pity because he's a good guy, honest and hard working.

    She looks like the Penguin from the Batman movie.

    She's sound. It's a small place so we all know each other on a personal level too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    My boss reads boards, so naturally he's a bit of a ledgebag.

    How about that raise eh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,635 ✭✭✭xsiborg


    self employed here, but my wife says she could never work with me because apparently im such a demanding fúck! :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,515 ✭✭✭✭admiralofthefleet

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,838 ✭✭✭theboss80


    Me? I'm class


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 248 ✭✭DanTheMan91


    Bi-Polar would be a good term to describe my boss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    A legend. I've chanced my way up the ladder since I started and he's let me away with it. Think it's the Irish accent. Begorrah

    Sounds like you're being sweetened up for something.

    WATCH YOUR BACK!

    Don't go anywhere with this guy. He sounds like a complete psycho and a sexual deviant.

    He's an easy-going, spontaneous widower who is a former second baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals
    He was forced to retire due to a shoulder injury, so he took his chance to move out of Brooklyn to find a better environment for his daughter, Samantha.
    He ended up taking a job in upscale Fairfield, Connecticut, as a live-in housekeeper for divorced advertising executive Angela Bower and Mona, Angela's man-crazy mother.
