Nail That Nasty Boss
Stuck with a boss you particularly dislike -- or outright loathe? Here's your chance to tell the world what a miserable so-and-so he or she is, and possibly pocket a healthy wad of cash for your efforts.
The folks at myboss.com are looking for the Dumbest Boss of the Millennium, and they pay $1,000 to the tipster who points the finger. Your tale of woe has to be in by the end of November, and you can tell your friends, co-workers, aunts and uncles and possibly the family dog and cat to vote for you.
Second place is good for $100 bucks, and third place wins you a genuine myboss.com coffee mug. But even if you don't win, you will at least be joining hundreds of thousands of other workers who are logging into the Web site to vent their feelings about uncaring, unthinking or downright stupid bosses.
The competition is stiff. There is the story about the boss who phoned an employee on jury duty to be back at work the next day or else -- and told him to vote to convict the defendant, because "he's guilty, or he wouldn't be there anyway." The judge in the case then summoned said boss -- something about jury tampering.
