What's the dumbest thing you boss ever asked you to do?

Say nothing to the other financial counsellor - well fuck the board of directors, i told the bitch twice to get out of my office, within 5 minutes one of the directors was on the phone to me and asked me not to say anything else to her, well fuck that, i told her when she came to my office again, I called another volunteer to my office and told the other financial counsellor - I am not interest in you at all as i am sick to death of doing your work and YES I spent 8 hours on my day off to fix up the work you claimed you did

Go watch an oil well "come in" You just get sprayed with oil and every one celebrates how rich they will be and I go back to the office and work for minimum wage.

Start work at 4am.When I refused she asked why.Told her I had more sense.

@tallpowerhouseblonde: That's a little too early to be up and working.

@BaileysMom: Doing this also carries health risks.The boss was not prepared to do it herself either.

Put this plant in that (hanging) basket.
It's an evergreen tree. (Granted it was a miniature.)
It'll be alright.
In a hanging basket?

Anyway I potted it up today, surprised that it was still alive but it did kill everything else in the basket. She won't listen she never does.

@GeniUs: Those poor plants. She sounds like a real winner.

I had a boss that owned and lived on site of the Inn I worked at a couple summers ago. He was a pretty cool dude.
One day I came into work and there was a Small Baggie of what looked like crack or coke or some drug paraphernalia just laying about next to the cash drawer. I asked my boss about it, and he goes, "oh it's crack, do you want some?" And he didn't even crack a smile, so I'm thinking WTF- is this a test? Is he serious?! He then says he's holding onto it to turn it over to the police, and that I could just leave it right where it was.

@Starkizzed21: Sounds like he had a bit of a sense of humor.

@Degbeme: That's happened to me before too. It sucks.

I had a supervisor at my last job that would chronically try to make me his errand boy. I always had an excuse as to why I couldn't run by the grocery store for him.
BaileysMom · 61-69, F
@TotalEclipse: I wouldn't have done it either.

The dumbest?

Finish a report that was already complete and submitted to corporate a week prior.

Not too in-tune with the department he was to lead.
BaileysMom · 61-69, F
@NobleDebaucher: Sounds like they needed to pay a little more attention.

He limited the cleaning chores around the store so he could yell at me for not doing anything 😒

What a great question. Not sure I want to answer it here though.
BaileysMom · 61-69, F
@FeetAreFantastic: Oh dear!! That's horrible.
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
@BaileysMom: yeah it's weird. I didn't
BaileysMom · 61-69, F
@FeetAreFantastic: Good. Shows you have integrity.
