This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

The Boss
I have very little faith in my boss. In fact I have no faith at all.

Apparently he started the company from scratch and was even the first to turn the lights on in the new office. Early on in his career, he was a total git. The slightest indiscretion or showing the slightest doubt in him resulted in a disciplinary or worse. But as he matured he became more forgiving. As long as you had faith in him, and proved it, everything was going to be ok.

Later in life his son started working for the company (Tch, nepotism)! He was ok, kinda hippyish, but had good ideals. The staff always had time to listen to what he had to say. In fact, he came up with some great ideas!

I really wanted to believe in the pair of them. I wanted to believe that they would make everything ok. But then I started to have doubts. How could so many things be bad and so few good when he was in charge?

I lost all faith in him.

Now, when everything is going good, I don't think of him. But when everything is going bad I still blame him.
