As they say: It takes all kinds. It's our differences, our unique skills, perspectives, and experiences, that make us who we are, distinctive in our approach and demeanor from the other folks. The sum of our parts makes us decidedly better at different things, and when we band together, there's no telling what we can accomplish.
While that's all feel-good and hunky-dory, and while we should always seek never to judge, it's worth recognizing that, sometimes, these unique traits come together to create something that's not altogether pleasant. I mean, it's not as if any of us are perfect saints, but it doesn't take perfection for you to not be foul to others—yet, some people are just are… Selfish and cruel, with idiosyncrasies that are grating, antisocial, or worse.
And, when you find yourself working for one of these people, you'd better buckle up (and make sure any other safety restraints are properly secured) because you're going to be in for the ride of your life… and it won't be over as soon as you would like. These people make the worst bosses, and when you're working for them, you might find yourself exposed to a range of terrible and stress-inducing experiences.
Here are ten stories from workers who shared their experiences of the worst people they ever worked for. Peruse them below, and if you feel inclined, let us know your own story in the comments.
