What were your worst experiences at jobs you worked at?

I worked in a building with no windows. It was known as the chicken coop. It should have been a great job but the people I worked with were obstructive. We ate lunch in our cars. I gave it 7 weeks, then resigned.

I started a job just as my official boss was going on maternity leave. In her absence I ran a team, started and managed a number of projects, presented the projects to the entire company at an all company event. My official boss returned from maternity leave after about two years. She worked two days a week. She alienated my team. She told everyone that she was responsible for initiating the projects that I ran. People kept coming up to me to tell me this. Eventually I resigned. The MD called me and asked me to stay, knowing all the work I’d done but there were a lot of politics involved. My boss’ boss, also a Director, was her godmother and sided with her. I was on a hiding to nothing. On the day I left, people kept telling me it was all wrong. These things happen. Sometimes you either choose a new path or you’re put on one.
