My boss verbally abuses all of the employees. I have an extemely thick skin, was warned about the environment, and still I am in shock on a daily basis. In a 'normal' job there would be major lawsuits but noone here seems to care much. You probably wouldn't believe half the stuff that goes on at our office.

Besides the vintage condom dispenser and a "Penises of the Animal World" drawing in the mens room today our accountant/bookkeeper was called a stupid wise and beautiful woman.

Last week I was a "worthless moron lower than whale shit in a hole at the bottom of the ocean". I actually chuckled at that one.

Today I was told to get keys to the building in case I had to meet clients late or on weekends, when I asked how to get a set of keys, I was told not to "be a dumb motherfucker and just get a set of fucking keys". I didn't know how to reply and just said "I'll fucking get them and won't ever bother you again; fuck" and walked out.

Here is my first meeting with the boss. I was working in my office and he walked in.

Me: Hi Mr. Lxxxxxx, nice to finally meet you
Mr. L: Do you know what the fuck you are doing?
Me: Yes sir, but I am still not sure on certain office policies
Mr. L.: mutters a profanity, stares at me, and walks out.

He came back a few minutes later and tells me to get him a cup of coffee and meet him in his office. I have NEVER been asked to fetch anything, ever, and was dumbfounded, then I made the mistake of asking how he wanted it. He simply replied "in a cup idiot" and added "put some fucking cream in it" when I was walking away.

edit: these are some quick examples, there are others here that have it much worse. I think he actually likes me and wants me to be successful.

my boss throws temper tantrums sometimes. I generally duck and run for cover, but he's broken like 2 keyboards in the past year and a half that we've been in the new office.

Hmm, maybe. I'll go ahead and say it was, just so I seem less crazy. How far are you (sorry, OP, this is an official thread hijacking).

You seriously don't know where to get a set of keys? You are a fuckin moron! :D

My favorite boss would throw imaginary hand grenades at us when he walked by. I miss him.

Well I finished about 4 boxes full of stuff. The stuff I took pictures from was all from the first box I think (and some from a file cabinet maybe?). I've been doing many projects during that time though.
