We've all seen them. We might as well make fun of them!

 

For many of us, Dilbert is so funny only because it is so true. We all know that things like that will never run out of things to write about because people are so inventive when it comes to ways to screw up. Here is a place to read about other people's horror stories or to add your own. Feel free to tell us about that bad boss you've had, but please keep it clean.

Those moving specs

I once had a boss wait until final testing, then change the project parameters once or twice a day (sometimes to impossible things), then after two weeks of this, he complained that the project was not done!0 points

I want to play too!

I had a manager complain that he was bored and it was no fair that I got to "play" and he didn't since the project that I was working my ass off was assigned to him. Any guess as to who assigned it to me?0 points

Vapor ware

At one company we (the programmers) had to look through the sales brochures to find out what the product that we were making did! When we confronted the V.P. about the fact that it did not actually do much of the features being sold, he said "yes, but you could make it do that, right?" He was not phased when we pointed out that industry insiders had told us that it would take literally millions of dollars (and the company was broke).0 points

You are Doomed

We had a very large "make or break" project. Industry insiders told me that they projected millions of dollars and a large staff. I had a couple programmers in a small startup. We were not allowed to actually start work on the project until after we had promised to deliver it. We ended up shipping several programmers to the factory where they were forced to work 20 hours a day trying to make it work. Needless to say, it failed.0 points

Random Firings

When I worked at one large tech firm, the new V.P. wanted to cut costs, so he told someone to fire X% of the staff. In my department, that ended up being about 50%, and it was done without consulting the project managers who were then left blindsided and wondering what projects they could finish with the staff that were left. They even ended up re-hiring (at a higher wage) several of the staff.0 points

Thinking with the wrong head.

I worked at a small company. The president's wife decided that she wanted to go to art school on the other side of the county! The next thing we know, there is a new branch office required. It was just the president working in a city thousands of miles away because his wife wanted to live there instead. The strangest part was that every time he came into town, all he wanted to do was take everyone to the strippers...0 points
