There is currently a thread about bad employees on here.
So its time for a thread about bad employers.
I had 7 jobs before becoming self employed.
4 were good places to work, 3 were terrible.
I'm sure that many of you have some horror stories about current or past jobs, and the idiots who ran the place, lets hear them.
I found the thread bashing employees for being stupid, really entertaining.
I worked for a dry cleaner, he was the most corrupt, crooked, lying, cheating, scumbag I ever met.
He treated us worse than slaves, sure not like valued employees.
Also worked at Subway, and that is why I'll never eat at a subway again. That guy cared nothing about sanitation, food quality, his customers, or us workers. Yuck!!!
Ran heavy equipment for a guy who would screw his own mother over for a nickel.
Maintenance was pathetic, he would short us hours on pay, always cutting corners, lied nonstop, and was a huge jerk.
If you own trucks and equipment, you should also own a nice shop, and have good mechanics on staff maintaining them. If you don't, you are the problem!
I'm self employed now, and remember well that a bad boss is destructive to moral, and the business. So I make sure to treat my staff how I would want to be treated.
They are paid well, treated well, and it makes for a happy and productive work environment. My staff turn over is also very low, because they are treated well. So in the end I also win, by not constantly having to hire and train newbies, and they are loyal to me.
If a corporation has a huge staff turn over, or a lot of bad employees, the boss needs to look at a mirror to see why.
