I would have to say that I’ve had a Bill Lumburgh boss in my past.
I think there is some room in my boss-past for some Dabney Coleman, as well.
I’ve had Obi-wan, Gekko, and Cruella. But is there anything for my current boss? He’s whiny, ineffectual, and refuses to actually **do ** anything, because then he couldn’t whine about it.
My mother is the only boss I’ve ever heard and she’s like Obi-Wan, Cruella, Gekko and Lumbergh all mashed into one. I still love her.
Oy, that should be “…I’ve ever had…” :smack:
I have to admit, my current boss is like a female Obi-Wan Kenobi.
“Um, yeah. I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Saturday.”
Except my boss is more nasal, if you can possibly imagine.
Y’know the old saying, " You learn more from a bad boss than a good one."
I have two bosses right now. Combined, they are Franklin Hart.
One is a creepy sexist - always staring me directly in the boobs or crotch, without trying to hide it. He even had the nerve to use ‘rectify’ in a sentence then asked me if I knew what ‘rectify’ meant! Dude, I’m your Controller! I made it past 8th grade!
The other one is the biggest asshole on the face of the earth. No one likes him or respects him and he’s generally just mean to everyone. He’s also paranoid that everyone is out to ‘screw him’. He’s truly psychotic.
So, Franklin Hart plus psychotic paranoia. Fun, eh?
Charlie.
He doesn’t call me “Angel,” but I only ever hear him as a voice over the phone, because he’s based on the other side of the country from where I actually work. He once visited this site after I started working here, and he had stopped to talk to someone in the corridor right outside my office. I heard them and thought “Wow, that guy sounds really familiar.” I went out to check and found out who it was. I had passed him several times earlier in the day and had no idea. He didn’t look anything like I expected.
He’s not evil, though, as far as I know.
