29 Tips for Being a Horrible Supervisor That Everyone Hates

Last week, I wrote about the importance of firing people faster. Some employees are not effective, and sometimes they’re downright toxic, and we need to let them go. However, often it’s not the employee who is incompetent or toxic, but his or her supervisors.

So, to bring balance, this week I am writing about horrible bosses. I asked the Nonprofit With Balls Facebook community to send in horror stories. I got nearly 200 comments, which I’ve curated and quoted. Due to being thrown-up on by a 6-month-old baby, among other fatherly adventures, I couldn’t include everyone’s input. We may have to make this into a series (like the nonprofit children’s books series, but less hilarious and more horrifying).

Get some coffee and some aspirins ready; this may be a little painful.
