I suffer depression and anxiety. I split from my STBExH due to domestic abuse and now am a single mum in a new job I've been in about 3 months. Around 6 weeks ago I had to take my pet to the emergency vets in the early hours of the morning and return the following day to PTS. I took 2 days of leave.
My bosses boss has just cornered me to scream tell me I didn't follow protocol as I didn't inform him, how embarrassed they are when they didn't know why I'd been off, how that's not an acceptable reason to be off... etc. It went on for 15 minutes just saying how shit I am.
I feel on the edge constantly trying to cope with home and family life whilst trying to maintain a job and become healthier myself (dieting and weaning off antidepressants).
I'm at my desk and I want to break down and cry and fuck it all off. Please tell me your shitty boss stories to make me feel better

Once many moons ago a guy i worked with in the office was promoted to Director. This instantly went to his head and he went off the rails hiring and firing staff. He decided he wanted a new sales manager (job I was doing after he nagged me for weeks to do it before he was promoted). He offered the job at twice the pay I was getting, a company car I did not have and numerous other perks that would have made my life so much better and easier, and he wanted me to train them and give them all my contacts.

He decided to say all of this in the middle of the office with his audience (sales team etc). I stood up and whilst he was giving it all blahh blahh blahh, went to the stationery cupboard got out an archive box and put all my bits from my desk into it whilst giving the occasional hmmm at him just to show I was listening.

When the box was full I picked up my bag and jacket asked him was he finished and then told him to stick his job up his arse and walked out.

Following morning I went out for breakfast with my husband and got a phone call from said boss asking where I was and was everything okay, I was gobsmacked and had to ask him what part of stick your job up your arse are you having trouble with !!!! and hung up.

Looking back it was not the best idea i've ever had but was certainly worth it.

Hope your day gets a little easier.
