Bad Bosses

It's funny how many of these you run into even when you think you're your own boss. There's always something that you can say that you would do differently and then there's the down right weirdos that you wish you had never met. I was reminded of this when I had a client that ran his business like it was the last thing on his mind. You'd get an email one day and not the next (apparently this web wizard never figured out how to create email lists), he may respond within 5 minutes or he may decide to wait a week or two, with or without responding to you. It's no surprise that I decided that it was easier to be broke then to keep trying to figure him out. The bad part is that when you have people or bosses like this you never know if you should use them as a reference. Sure you can always put them down and explain once you're contacted what kind of relationship it was but what if they contacted them first and got some sort of wacky story about you? Well, not only is that against the law but you have the right to ask and be told what happened there so at least that's on your side and after that you can send out your bad mojo. LOL!
