  1. Sell Out Staff | Office Horror Stories

    Sell Out Staff | Office Horror Stories

    What do you do when you're a commission-based salesperson, and your boss refuses to let any customers come your way? They just stand there, claim everyone who walks through the door and makes your job impossible!  That's today on Office Horror Stories.  Here's a preview. "I learned quickly that getting fired was done quite often to employees who could not sell cell phones or other devices. It got so bad that my boss would threaten us daily that if we don't get out there and sell, we will get canned. Most of the time, she was not even at the store running "errands" or sitting in the backroom doing absolutely nothing. Corporate managers came in one day and had a meeting with her and once they left, she ripped all our heads off with the "YOU NEED TO SELL MORE OR WE ARE ALL GETTING FIRED!". This turned quickly into HER trying to outsell US employees! She would literally stand by the door, and once a customer walked in, she would bombard them with questions about what they needed to buy and pushing every new electronic device on them."

    Thrown Under The Bus | Office Horror Stories

    What do you do when you're boss is all to eager to throw you under the bus? Do you work harder? Try to change their opinion? Or get revenge? That's today on Office Horror Stories! Here's a preview of one story. "Instead of utilizing the vast knowledge of the staff and learning from them, he was threatened by anyone who knew more. He would often swear at staff. He would talk about employees behind their backs to other employees. This gossip was often very sensitive and personal information. He would take credit for good ideas and throw employees under the bus for his screw-ups. He constantly demeaned and bitched about his wife but then hired her to run a department of the affiliate. I hate to say this about another woman, but she wasn't very bright and had a nasty personality. She and had no business working there, let alone running a department. This added even more bad energy to an already toxic workplace. I strongly suspect both the director and his wife were heavy drinkers and often took part in the consumption of other illicit substances. Their toxicity quickly seeped into every aspect of the affiliate, and even our reputation in the community was affected." If you have an office horror story, we want to hear it!

  6. Car Dealership Nightmare | Automotive Horror Stories

    Car Dealership Nightmare | Automotive Horror Stories

    What do you do when a delusional customer comes into your dealership, claiming that you are attempting to steal his car? Crazy right? That’s what we hear about today on office horror stories.  Heres a preview of the story.  “This guy starts freaking out. I told him I would gladly get him a sales manager, you know, someone in a higher position than the person this dude was asking for. That was not good enough. And he continued to sit there. I went to the sales managers, and they left me, a young 20-year-old girl, to do the heavy lifting and get this guy out. I tried everything. I gave him the salesman’s schedule. I even TEXTED the sales rep, and he had no idea who I was talking about or who this customer was. Finally, I was able to get this guy back to the service counter, and I was relieved, thinking he was finally going to leave. That was not the case. In the state where I live/work, it is required to get a signature when vehicles are picked up. It’s symbolic that we are “giving” ‘the vehicle back to you so that if you were to get into an accident/whatever, it was not in the hands of the dealership/shop. Also, with a $0 bill, we want some type of paper trail that some rando didn’t come into the lot and stole the car. I asked this guy for a signature on his $0 bill. He starts asking me why. So, I explained to him why. He took that as we’re keeping his vehicle. (Meanwhile, his vehicle is sitting in the service drive, unlocked, keys inside, garage door wide open) I told him that we do not want to keep his car and that he is more than welcome to leave.” If you have an office horror story, we want to hear it!

  8. Control Freak Boss | Office Horror Stories

    Control Freak Boss | Office Horror Stories

    What do you do when your boss is a control freak? A control freak that can't handle reality and ends up trying to overcharge the customers for the sake of their ego!? That's today, on Office Horror Stories.   Here's a preview of our story. "Hutch insisted that only one person was always to be on the job until the job was done, that one guy Keenan. All the while, he'd pressure Keenan to get it done. Remorseless to how much work he added was at least 3 weeks of work. Hutch lost his mind when Keenan didn't have the work done in less than a week. All of these "faults" were to belittle Marvin and me because Hutch couldn't stand to realize that Marvin and me, but mostly Marvin, could actually have successfully, had such a fancy home addition for the cost Marvin and I painstakingly made sure would be possible. All of Hutch's unnecessary changes brought the project up to $87,000. The homeowner could only pay an additional $5,000. Hutch blamed Marvin for the huge loss of money on the project. Keenan ended up walking off the job first thing in the morning when he was reamed at out by Hutch less than an hour after he had begun working after he tried to stand up for himself and was pushed deep into the dirt for not working fast enough."
