Share your stories about bowling evenings, karaoke nights, 70s disco parties and any other similar activities that you’ve had to endure with colleagues, from the cringeworthy to the ridiculous.

Brutal Bosses
January 18, 2008Bosses tend to be universally hated. With good reason, because they act like little dictators, pushing their employees around and loudly censuring every smallest mistake. The best way to let off some steam is to mock these ‘Mini-Hitlers’ and their arrogance, aggressiveness and awful management. So let’s hear your stories! (On an anonymous basis, of course.)

If you or your colleagues or friends work late too often for comfort, or if any of you have had to pull all-nighters (or worse!), tell us about it!
