‘My two bosses did a Mafia themed training day once, they dressed up as Mafiosos with inflatable guns, put on fake Italian accents and made all of the exercises somewhat Mafia themed.

‘I thought it was a great laugh but apparently somebody complained about it not being serious enough so the next training day was serious and boring.’

‘I walked in early to the office on morning. My boss was on the phone with his missus, looking through a new babycam monitor with her on the other side in the kitchen. During the call he showed me his screen to show the quality, just as his wife thought it was a good time to pop a tit out on camera.

‘Interesting start to the day.’

‘When I left my last job my colleagues had a whip round for me which amounted to a modest sum. My boss then used it to buy a replica X-Wing Fighter helmet from Star Wars for me as a leaving gift. Based on a few conversations we had that we both shared an interest in sci-fi films.

‘I’m 54 years old. I was beyond annoyed but didn’t say anything and sold it immediately on eBay.’

‘Told us there was big exciting news and we all had a meeting tomorrow.

‘The meeting was to tell us the company hadn’t performed very well this year so we weren’t getting our usual 8-10% bonus. BUT the exciting news was the company was giving us a discretionary 1% bonus as a goodwill gesture.

‘All while the CEO took home a bonus of over three million.’

‘We had a company merger where the boss of the other company became the boss of both. He organised a team building day at a vineyard. One of the activities he wanted to do was play hide and seek amongst the vines. Naturally, being adults, a lot of people didn’t want to play. He copped a right strop and went home.

‘Fast forward a couple of months, redundancies were announced and it just so happened that those who didn’t play hide and seek were laid off.’
