Unauthorized trashcan searches, Burger King Management really having it their way, and the rapping RNC chair
- Clandestine trashcan searches and snackless hell - A look at some of the ridiculous and thinly disguised power-plays really bad bosses make in a pitiful attempt at relevancy
- Burger King has to pay up again, as yet another one of its managers takes their slogan, “have it your way” literally
- Don’t call it a comeback - The RNC chair was at it again this week, trying to remain relevant by appeasing lord Limbaugh and keepin’ it real at the same time
- If Really Bad Boss ruled the world, Blagojevich would be deported, bonuses would only be awarded to CEOs who did a good job and cult enthusiasts would be imprisoned
- Edward Liddy resigned as CEO from the embattled AIG after only nine months. Apparently it was a really hard job. In fairness to Liddy, he came into a mess and agreed to accept an annual salary of $1 to try to fix it. He didn’t help himself when less than a week after receiving government bailout money the company rewarded insurance agents who sold AIG policies with a $440,000 trip to a California resort.
- And, because it wouldn’t be Really Bad Boss week in review without a Blago mention – There’s a new Blago fighting for the spotlight. It’s Rod Blagojevich’s wife, and she apparently loves the spotlight as much as he does. Patti is set to appear on the reality TV blow show “I’m a Celebrity, get me out of here.” NBC apparently doesn’t care that she’s neither a celebrity or particularly interesting and lacks the trademark Blago helmet head that hypnotizes people into paying attention. Intent on assaulting our airwaves with another dose of reality show rubbish, they’re banking on the fact that she’s a Blagojevich and will instinctively pepper the show with the requisite amount of edgy profanity. I hope they have their bleepers ready.
