中If you have seen the movie 'Horrible Bosses' you know there is only so much an employee is willing to endure from a bad employer. Sure, most people aren't resorting to murder plots, but they will walk out of the door.
如果你看过电影《可怕的老板》,你就会明白,一位职员对糟糕的老板的忍耐程度也是有限度的。当然,大多数情况下,忍耐的职员不至于杀人灭口,但是他们很可能会弃门而去哦。
For those of you who don't know the pain of bad management, consider yourself extremely lucky, because it is an experience almost all of us go through at least once. The moments where you sit and think, "I don't get paid enough to put up with this person." It's so common in fact there is even a Reddit thread asking the question "What's something your employer did that instantly killed employee morale?"
对于那些不懂得有一个坏老板有多痛苦的人,你们该为自己的极端好运而庆幸,因为大多数人一生中或多或少都会经历一次这样的事情,到那个时候,你会坐在那里冷静的想到:“这个混蛋付我的工资本来就不高,我干嘛要忍受他?”这种现象实在太常见了,在社交网上有人发了一个帖子,向广大网友发问,“你的老板做过什么事,能秒杀员工的忠诚度?”

1.A manager once explained it to me...."everything needs to be organized, labeled, and free of clutter. That way if you're replaced the next person can take over without missing a step."
曾有一个经理对我说,“你要把一切资料都整理好,贴上标签,不能杂乱。这样一来,万一你要滚蛋了,新来的人才能顺利接手你的工作,不出纰漏。”

第二天她就被换走了,真讽刺。
2.Banned smart phones in the break room to force us to talk to one another and build camaraderie .

Ends up we didn't like each other that much.

3.Former teacher. An administrator made a crucial mistake... they banned staff from drinking coffee in front of students. When you spend nearly 100% of your day in front of students, it definitely is a big deal.
曾经是一名教师。领导烦了一个致命的错误,他们禁止员工在学生面前喝咖啡。当你一天100%的工作时间都是在学生面前度过的,这可是件很严重的事。
First we tried to find any loophole we could. Energy drinks? Banned the next week. Tea? Banned two days later. It was chaos.
一开始我们试图发现一些漏洞。功能饮料?第二周就被禁止了。茶?两天后就被禁止了。教师们都凌乱了。
4.She actively tried to ban friendships. If co-workers became friendly she would schedule them so they would NEVER see each other. "You're here to work! Not to socialise!"
一位女性领导不遗余力的禁止员工交朋友。一旦几个同事开始对彼此友好相待,她就重新给他们排班,让他们再也不可能见到对方。“你们来这里是来工作,不是来社交的!”
She also banned everyone from coming into the workplace when they were not working.
她还禁止所有在非工作时间留在办公室里。
It was a pub. She banned socialising in a pub.

5.This school wanted to switch to Chromebooks. So what did they do? One summer while teachers weren't working, they removed every single Windows station and replaced them with Chromebooks to be issued to teachers. They were told to "figure it out".
领导要把学校里老师们的电脑全都换成Chromebooks。他们怎么做到的?趁暑假教师们休息的时候,他们把所有的WIndows系统都换成了Chromebooks,让教师们自己研究如何使用,还告诉教师们“自己琢磨一下怎么用”。
6.I found keylogging spyware on my computer. My bosses had installed it and we're tracking/reading everything I did.

我在电话中心工作。他们禁止你在办公桌上使用手机和电子设备,也不准玩字谜,看书。上级要求我们以“毫无杂念”的态度端坐在桌前,等待下一个电话拨入,即使这一天根本没有什么电话。
9.Told a bunch of people they were going to be promoted to get us to do extra work, no one got promoted. I basically did her job for a month. Me and three of my co-workers quit and she got fired a few months later.
告诉许多人他们会获得升职,就是为了让我们多干活,最后根本就没人获得升职。我几乎是全部包揽了她的工作,干了一个月。我和另外三个同事辞职了,几个月之后,她也被炒鱿鱼了。
