OK. I work in a job where we bill our time. we have an hourly requirement that equals about 8 hours a day. After the 8 hours kicks in, he generated an '​incentiv​e'​ program where if we bill more than the requirement, we got a progressive bonus that is calculated based on the hours worked. Despite the fact that he gets over $180 an hour for our work, the overtime equals $16 an hour beyond our salaries. It is designed to make us want to work beyond the requirement.
the first year, he paid the '​bonuses'​ without issue as promised. the second year, he said that the mid year payout was '​discreti​onary'​ and that you have to stay the whole year to get it or you would OWE BACK any amount that you collected mid year. so you work overtime, he gets paid by the client, and if you leave before the end of the year or you get fired, you OWE YOUR BOSS????? seriously??? In December, he fired a lot of people to avoid paying them their end of the year overtime.
Now, mid year payouts were suppose... Read more

I work on a QA team. My boss is a middle aged woman. Seems a bit lonely, if you ask me. Most of our team doesn'​t think much of her. As I spent more time with her, I realized she really wasn'​t getting any. And really needed some. So I took one for the team. Problem now, is she can'​t get enough. I'​ve become her conduit into the team. I'​m her favorite little pet and she seems more loose and alive with the team. Some times, you gotta do, what you gotta do.

This person has no life. They live to work. Ergo, work is life. They assume that the family photo on the desk is enough quality time with the spouse and kids. Unrealistic deadlines, calls at home, frequent business travel on weekends - these are some of their favorite techniques. Most staff members end up working excessive and late hours without recognition or reward. In fact, the more work they accept, the more they are given, but the money and title never seem to follow.

Sometimes you accept a new job, and your future boss seems really, really nice. Then the first deadline approaches and he or she turns into a screaming banshee. Sometimes your current boss leaves and senior management selects their replacement. Sometimes you are transferred into a great new position, but a terrible boss manages the department. And sometimes you have had a perfectly fine relationship with your boss and something goes sour, creating a downward spiral that you just can'​t seem to climb out of.

Layers:
Don'​t ya just luv layers of communication between you and your Boss? Say the VP of Product Development asks for your input into the product development plan. YOU do your due diligence and work out the WBS structure and provide the most likely date of completion. Next meeting with the VP, he asks you to re prioritize some tasks, thanks you for the input, and then in passing that your BOSS said we all have to roll up sleeves and work nights and weekends. Metaphorically speaking I am the only one in the company who seems to be wearing long sleeves. Note to self, purchase some short sleeves.

So it'​s almost 6pm and I'​ve already turned off my computer when the phone rings. Oh. You need me to run more computer simulations. And you'​re leaving for LA at 6am, and you need the results tonight to go over them before your trip. And I realize that the simulations will take about 3 hours total. So now I have to stay here until at least 9pm with no warning. Again. Yeah! No problem boss. I'​ll just have dinner from the vending machines. Again. And run those simulations right now. Again. No problem. I'​m just a footstool. I didn'​t have any plans anyways. And the company sucks another 60 hours out of me this week. Again. Thanks a lot boss! Luv ya!

I'​ve got people who feel the only way to get ahead is to kiss the bosses ass. Show up early morning, stay late in the evening, walk the boss to the metro. It'​s the new age of promotions.
