My worst boss was a departmental chair who never learned to appreciate new developments in the field. He had contempt for students and younger researchers, and he saw the job of running the department as a nuisance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The worst job I ever had was an office job that I had for six years, and that's nothing against the people who I was surrounded by, because they were wonderful people.
The most challenging part of being a boss is that nobody will tell you if your work is suffering.
Before I started a company, I was an employee with a bad attitude. I was always felt like, bosses are stupid, and people weren't well treated.
I was terrible at desk jobs.
I've always been petrified of working for a boss who I didn't like but who I was in fear of, because I wanted my salary.
I think the absolute worst job I ever had - not because it was a terrible job, just because I was just so bad at it - was when I worked at a scenic factory in Chicago.
But I'd say my best boss was Tom Barr, who was a partner at Cravath, Swain & Moore in the 1960s. It's because I learned so much from him.
My worst job was working in the laundry of a nursing home.
I never had a boss in my whole life. I've totally destroyed anybody's ability to tell me what to do.
I was a schoolteacher for a while, and it was the worst job.
