Did anybody on here ever tell their boss to go

Wee Willy Harris · 28-09-2012 12:21AM

not really, I told him i had morning bear n just left?

take some responsibility, when abandoning your responsibility.

fasttalkerchat · 28-09-2012 12:21AM

I took a massive step down (relatively) since going to uni. I'm not prepared to take **** from anyone above me like I did when working my way up. I'm not prepared to break the law or working time directive and I'm not going to be treated in a way I would not have accepted an employee to be treated when I was a manager.

So yea, I have told one manager to **** off several times. Once he tried to tell me he could pack out a pallet faster than me and spent an hour having a go at me. I let rip at him and pointed out everything he had done wrong in the past week. I had spent the week covering his ass so knew well what a balls he was making.

A boss i worked with offered a friend of mine a fight.

Friend at the time was 60, boss about 40, so he didn't take it it.

I was in my bosses office about another matter, so i said, and this boss and i hated each other, by the way, if you ever offer me a fight i won't turn you down.

He was a full bully, but he knew i would have buried him, the cowardly bastard.

You missed out on a sweet going there man.I always had to do compactor duty in Crazy Prices because either the trainee manager was a geebag who had it in for me or I did a good job.

It turned out to be quite good because any returns we had we were told to empty the contents into the compactor and the just the packets were sent back to the wholesalers.

I never ate so many sweets and biscuits in me life, even got booze the odd time too.

Years ago asked one in particular if he would like to step into the car park to sort things out.

Never had any bother with him after that!

Yes, I used to work in a corner shop during school around 7 years ago. You know the ones with the family home in the back. Anyway shopowner and wife were crazy and used to call me rhubarb because I have ginger hair. He used to crud flem on the kitchen table and expect me to to clean table with it as said it was the best cleaner. He also was too lazy to go upstairs and pissed in a drain in the kitchen. This man was about 70 and used to bring me into sitting room as well and tell me to sit down so he could abuse me for a while. I only laughed it off cause I was 15 and pay was good and got 35+ hours a week even when school was on. Sometimes when customers were in the shop he'd stand grunting in front of the till and they'd get freaked out and leave and then give out to me for not serving them. As long as he didn't put his hands on me I wouldn't give a feck what he said to me. Theres tons of other stuff as well but too much to write here!!! Anyone one day I put the cigarettes in the wrong place to stack away, grabbed me by the neck and told him to shove his job up his arse and go **** himself and was suing him. Next day he rang and apologized and said sorry that he's dying of cancer and has six months to live and it will never happen again. I think if anyone here is from Kilkenny they will know the shop I'm on about.

Sounds like a place I used to work in Drogheda.

Told one of my bosses that I was sick of him, told him he was a ba****d and that I couldn't deal with his moodswings anymore and that my name was Karona and to stop calling me like a dog( he kept saying "here you")

He came to me 5 minutes later and apolagised! I was delighted with myself because it brought him down a peg or two.

Facking legend! :pac:

I did it for two and a half days, but all I ever seemed to get was the fruit and veg that had gone off in the cages and crushing the soggy cardboard boxes when out of nowhere you'd get a squirt of tomato seed in the eyeball!

I went on to do bar work after that when you could actually smoke in the bar/club, met girls, chatted with the customers, great laugh, and after clean-up you sat down and had a few cold ones, great job, love to go back to it now but I know it wouldn't be the same

Still, it paid my way through college!

astonaidan · 28-09-2012 02:04AM

Yeah was working in a bar, sadly it was only for a couple of days, the lads working there said whenever the manager is around to stay out of his way.

so I was talking to a customer like I thought a barman should be doing when I was called in and told I should be cleaning tables and not talking to customers,
then another customer came in I served him then went about cleaning tables to which the manager called me aside again to say certain customers the type we want in the pub should always be made felt special to which I to me was nonsense,
but I wanted to learn bar so basically asked the other lads who should i suck up too, was grand then he called me aside again to which I said whats it this time, he pointed to a group of girls who were friends with the daughters owner that I should be down talking and smiling to at a fecking table,
to which I said what the **** sort of rubbish is that, he then said think about what you saying your throwing away your future, i told him to **** himself went to walk out the door, he said i need the shirt, to which i took off threw it to him, it landed on the floor, the other lads working there said it was the best moment of there life,
sad thing is he got sacked two weeks later and my brothers been working there since said its a great place to work

Spread · 28-09-2012 02:10AM

Yes, in 1977 I was employed by an East London construction firm. All well for about 9 months, then they got a new surveyor - who effectively was my boss. During an altercation about measured rates, I told him to stuff the fucking job and for good measure gave him a whack which put him flying. As I packed my tools I told him to post my cheque and that if it wasn't right ........ I'd be calling to his house to find out why. It arrived the following week and cleared. Different times. If the same scenario occurred today ......... the boys in blue would be tearing through the site

I try not to burn bridges in life as you never know when you may need to use someone.

0ph0rce0 · 28-09-2012 08:35AM

YES.

Had a polish guy that worked with us, never did a drop of work, always moaning, just a down right assh*le, Lost it one day with hime, threw my phone at his head and went for him, Needed to cool off so i left and went for a smoke, boss came out after me started shouting at me to get back in, and i just screamed FúCK YOU.

Worked in another department before this with a woman with no people skills, treated me like sh*T for 6 months, blamed everything on me, just a downright bítch, one morning before work had even started, she came threw the building and started shouting at me for no reason to get to my desk, about a half hour before my shift started, i said i have not started yet, She screamed again, So i went right up into her face and shouted F*CK YOU , YOU CU*T, She ran away crying to the owner, i was never bothered again.

swimming in a sea · 28-09-2012 10:27AM

I'm leaving today and am in the process of writing a letter to the boss, outlining my grievances which have led me to leave, it won't affect my reference as I'll be getting that off my department manager (who is encouraging the writing of the letter):D

I'm making my points clear without been abusive, but I feel if I don't send this letter I'll regret it.

28-09-2012 10:29AM

Yes i have.
On more than one occasion (current boss), and a few times with previous bosses.
I'd only ever do it when i felt justified.

Nippledragon · 28-09-2012 10:30AM

I worked as a pot-walloper in a busy hotel (many moons ago). There was this nob of a head chef there, loved himself and treated everybody like dirt. He would always be sleazing around the 16 year old waitresses, and would be boasting how he was going to break them in - shows his personality.
One day there was a huge wedding on, and I was helping one of the other chef's garnishing the salmon platters cause the kitchen was mental busy. The whole kitchen gas goes off in the middle of service, and the head chef comes over to me and shouts in my face - "you ya little w@nker, did you turn off the gas". I fcuked the tray I was working at/all over him, grabbed him by the throat and shoved him up against a fridge and told him to shove his job up his fcukin hole, and he was the biggest fcukin w@nkbag I had ever met.
I got a round of applause and cheering off the whole kitchen and waiting staff as I grabbed my coat and left.

AeoNGriM · 28-09-2012 10:37AM

I worked for a guy who was a right cnut. Small man syndrome up the kibosh. Used to roar and scream at people if he was having a bad day, which was almost every time he was in the office. He asked me to print out pictures of his latest property purchases (totally non-work related, and nothing to do with my job) so he could show his rich pals down the golf course, so I stayed back after hours to do it. He wasn’t happy with them and had a go off me, roaring and shouting, aul face reddening up etc. I told him exactly what I thought of him, and that I wasn’t going to be cowed into submission by a little bully like him. He told me that if I wasn’t happy that I could take him to the labour courts, the smug little fcuk. I replied that for him this may be a world of contracts, rules and labour courts but for me, when I clocked out at the end of the day, I was a civvie and as far as I was concerned so was he, so I’d get satisfaction one way or the other. Reading between the lines he choked and spluttered, completely taken aback and incredulous that someone would dare stand up to him and mumbled something about having a meeting to go to.

If I didn’t really badly need that job I’d have told him to stick his job up his hole and left. Don’t suppose it mattered in the end, I was let go a few months after the Chrimbo.

Timmy, if you’re reading this, may God fcuking help you if I ever see you again, you nasty little bollix.

daveyboy_1ie · 28-09-2012 11:00AM

Worked in a camera and film supply place for 6 months and the owner was an a**hole of the highest order. Totally stuck up his own a** and what was surprising was his brother worked there too sometimes and he was the exact opposite.

After a few power trips on me which I let slide, he finally crossed the line and tried to cancel my pre-arranged holiday days off (had already booked a fortnight away when granted the holidays). Felt good telling him to stick his job when he gave me the ultimatum of 'it’s your job or your holiday, what do you want to choose?’

What do you hope to achieve with the letter?
If the dept manager is in agreement with you why don't they speak to this person.

Many, many times I've told my various bosses to get stuffed, eff off, whatever.

Most memorable one was working in "Crazy Prices", Tesco as it's called now, I was leaving anyway for another job and with a week left to go, I was put on trash compactor duty (a new made-up job specially for me, lovely!), so I marched into the managers office, ripped off the jumper, ripped off the trousers, and walked out through the store and the shopping centre half naked!

Working for myself nowadays, so much easier than dealing with some people's need to "knock you down a peg or two!" :rolleyes:

What an eejit

Pumpkinseeds · 28-09-2012 11:31AM

Yes I have done. I'd been pushed too far one too many times and I just snapped. I told her in no uncertain terms what I thought of her and exactly where she could stick her effing job. I stormed out slamming the door behind me, feeling very empowered and chuffed with myself.

That was until on the walk home I realised that I was going to have to explain to my parents, when I got home, why I had just quit my job. I can still remember sitting in a coffee shop trying to think of ways to explain it to them. I was 18 at the time.

funny thing is he is the one pushing me to write it, but it basically to try and make sure that in the future if others are put in the situation I faced that they're will be better procedures to follow.
I basically had a complaint about another department manager, and nothing was done about it, so i felt I had no choice but to leave.

SandyRamp · 28-09-2012 12:13PM

When I was in college I worked in a local family owned garage. The boss was notoriously mean, would only hire girls of 15 or 16, pay less than minimum wage etc. and generally make their lives a misery.

Anyway one day she rolled up in her brand new, top of the range BMW jeep she had purchased that very day, and called a staff meeting. Said she couldn't afford to keep paying us the wages we were on (a euro less than min wage) and would be dropping it by a further euro an hour.

One of the girls (the quietest of the lot) looks her up and down and says : "Ah here, would ya ever fcuk off with yourself!" Threw her apron at her and stormed out. Legend!

Sugarlumps · 28-09-2012 12:14PM

Hmm I’ve had a few altercations in the past.

I've told plenty of dícks in higher position to go fúck themselves.

Worked in Ardmore studios in the kitchens and covering the sets. Worked like a slave, treated like shít and got the bare minimum. Things were boiling over with the head chef for a few months, called her a fat bítch, told her to stick the job. This was at lunch time when I’m knee deep in pots and pans.

Worked in a factory, brought out for xmas drinks. Pretty sure it was two hours free booze. We were in a function room, propped myself up at the bar as I knew the woman serving. I was drinking double and triple vodkas. As many as I could fit in the allotted time. Few choice words were apparently said, and a crossbow was mentioned? My dad had one at home. I blacked out, I was young and jobs were plenty back then. I went back to that job after the Christmas period, it was laughed off?

You should always stand up for yourself if you feel aggrieved, just don’t mix alcohol and crossbows.

The exact same thing happened to me only it was a cinema where I was working.

I have also told my current boss that I would burn his house down with his family inside if he used any jobsbridge people to replace workers he had just laid off.
