What's the most insulting thing a boss has ever said to you?
Yesterday my boss asked me if I put on weight during my trip to mexico.
Besides being rude, its also weird because 1) I'm pretty sure I've lost about 10 pounds, several people have noticed that the first time they saw me, and 2) she's one of the most disgustingly obese people I've ever met.
If I was quicker on my toes I would've responded with "No, did you?" As it was I was too stunned to say anything.
Probably for me it's "I was on a hosteling holiday with some of my third year boys - for I was actually a teacher then - and we had a dormatory to ourselves. On that occasion I was invigiled (not without considerable protest on my part) into a game of strip poker. As we were approaching the exciting stage - underpants only all around - I had no shortage of encouragment "bet you've got a whopper, aint you sir? Do you wanna see Woody's? He's bigger than you think!".
Which professional comedian did you steal that from Jack?
A mate of mine complained to his boss about the shit wages he was on and his boss replied "you pay peanuts you get monkeys". I actually thought that was pretty funny....
Jack was my supervisor once, and I expect he was very insulting to me. But no more than usual.
also, when i worked at a popular supermarket, my supervisor called me a wanker for telling a customer that some item was cheaper elsewhere.
he is in jail now, karma is obviously alive and well
metaphorically speaking, of course
My boss threw a hamburger at me for messing up an order on Mchappy Day.
Did you offer to supersize his projectile?
"Scum like you should be thanking me for allowing you to live"
I quit immediately after that beautiful commentary. Imagine a fat balding man screaming that at the top of his lungs. Ugh.
My former head teacher hauled me into her office for giving out leaflets on the picket line at work and said "I too am a good trade unionist you know".
Nah it was a big fat lesbian!! She also would not allow males to serve or women to work in the kitchen - shit you not!!
Not a boss (they're actually very nice to me, I'm putting that "teacher's pet" thing into good use), but a coworker. Said something like "if I'd been your boss I would have fired you for that", when I looked grumpy for having to work too late to catch the last reasonable bus.
A friend who was a paid worker scrubbing floors and shitters at a hippy co-op (!) in Manchester was sacked with the line "maybe cleaning isn't for everyone". He was also told to do extra work once because some of the members had been out pilling the night before and couldnt be bothered turning up.
This one wasn't a boss but a so-called coworker: "you must have been hired for your looks, cos it certainly wasn't your ability". What made it doubly insulting is that she'd called me ugly the day before!

my very much ex-boss quote for the day;
"The men are worth less than the machines."
I live in a deluded bubble; thinking I can opt out of Da System.
On Planet Earth I'm a property developer

A boss did once say he was impresssed by me and asked me why I hadn't joined the fastrack management programme
I was ace at selling double glazing; that boss was gonna promote me










while not as bad as that, a boss i had one gave me a verbal hairdryer for not asking another member of staff about an item we didn't stock, or didn't order in, even though i knew. plus the guy wanted it that very day
he was a twat though
