A garden variety a-hole boss will say and do messed up stuff when no one is looking...
But a BLAZING A-HOLE of a boss will put their most toxic behavior down in writing...OVER EMAIL NO LESS! Well, if they're dumb enough to put it in writing, we're going to show it:
1.The heartless boss who sent this frankly unbelievable email to employees shortly after a beloved coworker died:
2.The boss who — after management fired 60% of the staff, resulting in this worker having to put in 14-hour days — dared to send them this email:
3.And the boss who sent employees an email explaining they would be charging admission to this year's company picnic:
4.This boss who questioned their employees' dedication...based on how they took their lunch breaks:
5.The boss who sent this unhinged email that — among other things — implied that the concerns of people without kids are less important than those of parents:
6.The boss who acted like this after an employee tried to call out sick:
7.And the boss who told their employees that if they call out sick, then might as well LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB:
8.The boss who demanded an employee cancel their vacation...long after they approved the employee taking it:
9.The boss who actually sent this to her employee who'd just found out her boyfriend of four years was cheating on her:
10.And the abusive ex-boss who emailed a former employee asking for a code (the employee already provided when they left) “by tomorrow”:
11.The boss who terminated an employee for missing work to attend the funeral of a coworker, then sent this insulting email to the whole company (accidentally or "accidentally" including the terminated employee it's about):
12.The boss who sent this email after an employee asked to take a day off to attend the funeral of his girlfriend's dad:
13.The boss who insulted and chastised an employee...then immediately turned around and asked for a favor:
14.And the boss who sent this email after this employee simply said they weren't able to stay late after their shift ended:
15.The boss who sent this email with almost no notice...amounting to a huge FU to their night staff (not to mention the weekend staff):
16.The boss who — a month after this employee left the company — demanded they pay them back for supposed "overpayment":
17.And lastly, Elon Musk's email to employees after taking over Twitter:
