Sometimes, the more you do to be seen, the more invisible you are. For example, some bosses don’t even say hello when you turn up for work.

It is great to have targets to focus on, but when you need time and patience from your boss, they always seem to pile on the pressure.

I want to get on with the work that you sent me. Please don’t helicopter me. I had just about enough of that from my parents.
Takes the Credit

This is one of the worst things bosses do, as one person pointed out on an online forum, saying, “Taking credit for my ideas. Sure, that’s pretty vanilla, but it is very frustrating.”
Does Not Praise You

We are asking a little ‘thank you’ and ‘well done’ now and again.
Never Leaves The Office

While some bosses don’t lift a finger, others do not lead by example regarding a good work/life balance. Just because you want to pull an 18-hour day doesn’t mean we should do too.
Hard To Get Hold Of

When you need approval for an expense or the OK to place an order, and your boss is never around to take your call—answer already.

We could not believe what one online user said when they told readers that their boss “Called me at 9 PM on a Friday night after a 60-hr work week to tell me I wasn’t working hard enough and how disappointed she was in me because I had so much potential.”

In some jobs, there is the need for everyone to pull their weight, but some bosses don’t get that and seem to give you the worst jobs.
Threaten You

Some bosses feel that they can break the rules of HR and treat you like they want, which is a surefire way to have you looking for a new position.
Treat You Like A Pet

No, I am not here to be someone you can show off. I am here to do a good job and earn money, just like you.
Treat You Like You Are Stupid

One online commentator agreed that this is a common complaint, saying her boss is always “Talking to me jokingly like I’m three years old.”
Overstepping Their Boundaries

One online user told this shocking story about her boss when she said, “She showed up at my PARENT’S house on Sunday night and asked to join us for dinner. I could tell more stories about her, but this stunt was so far over the boss/employee line that I started looking for a new job.”
Having Favorites

We thought we left the whole teacher’s pet things behind at school, but it never ends.
Ignore Their Own Rules
