"Bad bosses..."

OMG, people all round the world are facing it...

I found this interesting article and summarized it here:

10 Things Employees Dislike Most about Their Employers

1. Lack of Communication
The biggest problem with any relationship is lack of communication. The issue starts when employees avoid speaking forthright to their employers for fear of retribution.

2. Unfair Pay
It’s hard to find an employee who thinks they make too much money. So the best employers can do is live up to fair-wage standards.

3. No Job Security
With outsourcing, downsizing, globalization and pressure to meet the bottom line, job security has become a scarce commodity.

4. Under Appreciation
Nothing says, ‘We don't appreciate you’ more than when your employee has worked like crazy to finish the project and you reward them by adding more to their plate.

5. Favoritism
Whether it’s more money, an undeserved promotion, or a better schedule, favoritism by an employer can be a destructive force to morale. When “who you know” becomes a blatant reason for advancement or preferential treatment, employees often find it tough to swallow this bitter pill.

6. Overworked
Aside from not getting paid enough, this is probably the most common complaint employees have – whether it’s true or not.

7. Micromanagement
The boss that’s involved is great. The one who’s over-involved can be a nightmare. The micromanager shows little trust in employees and robs them of the ability to do their job.

8. Incompetent Managers
There’s at least one in every company. The man or woman who people shake their head at and ask, “How in the world did they get that job?”

9. No Opportunity for Advancement
Finding yourself with a ceiling over your career is not a good place for an employee to be in.

10. Overbearing Boss
The nasty, overbearing boss. The evil supervisor.

If you can relate to any one of the above, then you're definitely not alone!

Man, they even have websites like this..."Badbossology??!"

Ah, and something interesting... a fiery drink called 911! Literally....FIERY!! The bartender pours alcohol over the tower, which is burning BLUE FLAME! (the camera flash spoilt the pic, actually it was very dark, and u can only see the blue flame). Then you sip the burning alcohol using a straw!
