10 types of annoying bosses you'll meet in Singapore
By Adrian TanYou can stay out of your house longer if you don't like your wife, ignore your parents' calls when you are too bored to talk to them, but bosses... that's a tricky one. Whether you like them or not, you have to interact with them, and if you are planning to stick around in your job, you have to keep them happy. We give you the 10 most common types of bosses.
- The incapable boss - You literally could not find out anything from her. Not because she isn't willing to share. It's because she doesn't know anything at all and hence nothing she can do to help.
- The bross - This is the combination of a bro and a boss. Always wanting to hang out with you for drinks or a smoking session, robbing you of anytime to get any real work done.
- The Hormonal boss "2 faced" - one minute she is jovial and happy cheating with a client, the next she come screaming down your neck with instructions.
- The questionable boss "Why is she boss again?" - Given how she slacks off in the office, one wonders how she even rise up to be in that position.
- Always around boss - This boss is like a ninja. You don't see her but once her name is mentioned, she will appear out of the blue.
- Egoistic Boss "You shouldn't be better" - Got a bigger house or car than this boss? Be prepared to "pay" with more workload.
- Boss from hell - They need the 5 reports, 15 power points by yesterday.
- Slave driver - No medical certificate is powerful enough to deflect her stream of demands.
- The skirt-chaser boss - Not sure why but his hires carry the common denominator of young and pretty
- Cheapskate boss - tap water instead of water cooler, interns instead of a full-time administrator, no air-con on a rainy day, you get the picture.
