worst experience with boss

[metalfossil]

The now closed thread about death threats brought back memories of a crazy boss I worked for.

I worked in a two man operation delivering processed sand. This guy was an okay bloke even keeping me on in the factory when I lost my licence. However, he had quite a few dodgy friends and things went from bad to worse. On this one occasion we had a particular order that needed filling and as I was the only one that was available, I ended up working through from morning right through the night and into the wee hours of the following morning.

I had a mate show up around 1.00am, and as I was stuffed and needed a break (and lived just around the corner) we went back to my place for a coffee. As luck would have it, my boss (on his way home from a party) drove past and noticed the place was all locked up. he rang me and told me in no uncertain terms to get my arse back to the factory.

When I arrived back, he was fishing around in his boot. I kid you not, he pulled out a shotgun and started to threaten me with it. I was **** scared as he started to push me with the barrel. I ended up running up the street with him chasing me.....I kid you not

Holy sh!t!!!! You called the cops???

[minux]

And you didnt think to call the police?

I was young and very scared.

This guy was also into some very weird ****, with some very weird friends. He was also heavily involved with one of the infamous unions of the time.

It was my last day/night working for him, and I figured I was better not getting involved any further.

No bad boss stories from me but if any of my old staff were here there would be a few about me.I was a bit of a hard arse.

Holy crap dude!!

too young to report it.... so report it now. Save him doing it to some other scared kid or actually killing someone with a gut full of whatever makes him tick.

This was over twenty years ago. I was very young and very very intimidated by this person. I thought quite a few times about going to the cops, (even got as far as the front counter one day, but in the end I left) The last thing on my mind at the time was worrying about what he might do to other people.
