You´re one of the female employees who refuses to sleep with him.

You find out the slag term for giving you an assignment is "throw it at Wally."

For two months he used the weekly management meeting to blame me for ALL the department problems. I only found out about this because I´m friends with one of the managers.

I once worked at a company where the owner always had the police on hand when he fired someone. His usual practice was to make someone´s job so miserable they quit on their own, but sometimes a person just wouldn´t leave. The fact that someone refused to leave after months of browbeating, abuse and heavy work loads usually meant they were unstable or desperate, so having the police handy for firings was essential.

There was one woman who carried a gun and tried to pull it from her purse during her "exit interview." The police wrestled her to the ground and escorted her from the building.

The CIO tasks you with evaluating Linux for use in the office, when the company owner has made it clear that they are a Microsoft only shop and often says "If´ Microsoft makes one, it´s always the best." This phrase was even used when you tried to get a copy of Dreamweaver, and the owner insisted that Frontpage, being from Microsoft, would do everything a web developer needed.

A few years ago, thanks to Spybot Search and Destroy, I learned that key logging software had been installed on my work PC. After raising a massive security flag in IT, reformatting the PC and starting the process of changing ALL the passwords to which I had access (including admin level Database accounts) I learned the CTO had installed the software on my PC and the PCs of three other people in the office.

He´d even tried to install key logging software on the HOME PC of a department head who had spurned his "advances."

He never explained why, but he was furious over the lost productivity my "panic" caused.

Your boss gleefully assigns you a large, but unimportant programming task, telling you to use a programming language he knows you´ve never used before.

Unfortunately for him, I already had OOP experience, and learning enough Java to write the requested program and write it well didn´t take long at all. I was finished ahead of schedule.
