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

@nedkelly: Sounds like when I used to work for the state.

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.
