Would you share a hotel room with your boss? Me neither…

I’ve had to share a hotel room with a colleague before. Besides the fact that she snored like an ox, the idea of sharing personal spaces as intimate as bedrooms and bathrooms with a work colleague is just …disturbing.  But, the budget was tight and I got along pretty well with my colleague.  But what if you had to share a hotel room with your boss? Who walked around in her thong underwear. And carried on conversations with you. While she was on the toilet.  That’s what happened to this woman as reported on the USA Travel website. Some excerpts of what Beth the boss inflicted on her employee:

First of all, Beth requires the woman to share a hotel room with her.

In hotel rooms, the employee writes, Beth “will leave the bathroom door open while using the toilet and yelling comments to me (not even my husband does this).”

Beth also walks around the room in her thong and tries to discuss her dating and sex life with the woman while the woman attempts to hide under her covers and fall asleep.

Beth is such a control freak over travel expenses that when she orders room service breakfast, she orders a single entree and pot of coffee and expects the employee to share the food.

The advice columnist who received this letter about Beth suggests that the employee find another job. Ya think? Would you ever share a hotel room with your boss?

    I worked as a Program Assistant at a small museum in Indiana.  My boss was female, intimidating and really not a nice person at all.  She hated everyone.  We had to go to a trade show and to save money for the company, she booked a room together.  I didn’t want to share a room with her, but I was low on the totem pole and I kept my mouth shut.  I shouldn’t have.  She not only played the Boss Card all weekend long, but the crazy witch walked around our room naked.  “We’re all girls,” she said, casually.  WTH?!  Yes, we may be “all girls” but I did not need that image in my head.  Please, God, get that image out of my head.  It was awkward as hell and I quit shortly thereafter.  She was a horrible boss to begin with.  She would demean me in front of board members, office staff, etc.  And, to get my attention, she would snap her fingers at me.  To this day my friends and I refer to her as The Naked Boss.
