My boss came into my department one day and was trying to get us to hurry an order that was to be picked up by the customer. The time frame from when the order was taken and the time they were picking it up was not even realistic. Nevertheless, we were working as fast as we could. But he just lost it and starting jumping up and down. He then laid on the floor on his back and started kicking his feet in the air like a bicycle and yelling, “just go, go, go, go.” His dad (the owner) was standing next to him and told him to get up off the floor and come outside for some conversation. He was about 34-years-old at the time.
-Help! My Boss is Nuts, StanleyBing.com
Every once and awhile, the corporate world can make me a little nuts. I guess in certain respects, it goes with the territory. The other day I noticed one of my crazy quirks as I left the office.
It was Friday and I was leaving for the weekend. I drove up to the exit, flashed my I.D. for security and before I pulled away, I started laughing hysterically. I casually closed my car window, hit the gas and began my much-deserved weekend retreat.
I never realized it, but I do this every Friday afternoon when I leave. The sheer excitement of a weekend’s freedom makes me, for a brief moment, absolutely insane. I then began to realize…damn, that’s pretty good. Some people can’t even wait until the weekend. They’re like this 24-7!
When it comes to office interactions, there are some total nutjobs out there. Dealing with these people doesn’t make our day any better either. So what do you do if this person happens to be your boss? Turn to Bing for some much needed advice on how to deal.
“The Bully, “the Paranoid, “the Narcissist, “the Wimp” and “the Disaster Hunter” – I couldn’t have summed them up better myself. Not only does this site provide the symptoms associate with TCBS (Totally Crazy Boss Syndrome), but it’ll show you how to make the situation work to your benefit. All it takes is a little Psychology 101 and you’ll have that crazy boss wrapped around your finger like a straightjacket.
If you don’t have a crazy boss, check out this site anyway. I promise it will be an extra dose of “Hump Day Humor” to help get you through your Wednes-daze. If your superior does fit one of these personas, please share. Help the rest of us realize that we really don’t have it that bad.
Happy Hump Day!
Enjoy.

Wow! I chuckled when I read the post, but I went to the site and started full-out laughing at how accurate the description of the bully manager is.
Fantastic insight. Thanks for the laugh.
That was a priceless visual, Ryan. I usually blare music really loudly and dance in my car. I’m sure my fellow associates enjoy it.
My boss is definitely The Wimp. Even the client has started coming to me to make decisions that are so far beyond my pay grade that it isn’t even funny. Fortunately, I’d be a great boss, so I cope. Even more fortunately, MY LAST DAY IS THIS FRIDAY!!!! Just thought I’d share…
I had a boss one time that was ADD and she wore it on her sleeve, and used it as an excuse to tear into me whenever she felt like it. One minute she was giving me a nice praise or cash bonus, then 2 seconds later……it’s psycho boss. This was a classic example of a douche bag boss.
