The craziest thing I was asked to do was take his sister across the border from Canada to the US for her boob job, wait while she had them done, and then take her home..............I started looking for a different job shortly after that. I went shopping while she was in surgery........ and she showed them to me before I drove her home........... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358979 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:22:49 +0000 Honeybee 358979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: LOL!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358978 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:22:22 +0000 Honeybee 358978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Hahahaha, that's pretty funny!</p> <p>Um, things that were in my job description? Or outside of it? I once had a telemarketing job where the boss asked me to use some pretty horrific language; I quit within a week of starting. </p> <p>At one job, a co-worker asked me to go to the middle school and measure his daughter's inseam, then take her pants to the seamstress to be altered. I did it because, well, I didn't have a lot else to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358969 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:13:37 +0000 LemonLong 358969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked retail and my boss asked me to do celebrity impersonations over the store PA whenever I made an announcement. 1. It was a hardware store 2. I had never done an impersonation of anyone ever so I don't know why she thought I could 3. I was the only one she requested to do this. It made no sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358952 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:55:45 +0000 Mommy Finger 358952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This didn't happen to me but to a coworker. One of the partners at the accounting firm we worked at asked her to turn the pages of a document for him as he ate his salad. That was pretty much the last straw and we both left the firm soon after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358890 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:02:33 +0000 dagret 358890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my supervisor-yish coworkers is constantly asking me to google things for him, and copy/paste things to him and send them to him in an email. About once a month i offer to show him how to do these things, or reply to them 2-4 hours later saying, i'm sorry, did you google this yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358862 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:52:26 +0000 Mrsbells 358862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did an admin job several years ago and my manager treated me as her personal assistant. I had to get her lunch, make deposits in the bank for her and even pick up her dry cleaning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358855 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:50:34 +0000 DigAPony 358855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may not technically be "crazy," but the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was when I worked at a small alternative school as an instructional assistant--it was my first job out of college, and one day this girl puked all over the bathroom floor. I told my boss (basically the principal) and he "asked" me if I would clean it up. It was disgusting. That job was horrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358842 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:46:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 358842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, at one of my old jobs sometimes my boss would be running late for a meeting and he would call me when he pulled up front of the office and I would have to run down and park his car for him in the lot so he didn’t have to take the time to do it and walk back to the office himself.</p> <p>He also did this when he just didn't feel like walking. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358837 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:45:08 +0000 mrbee 358837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work as a temp over every winter/spring/fall/summer break, to help pay for college. One person who hired me ran a kitchen but she hated cleaning her stoves, so once a month she would hire a temp to clean it up. I was lucky enough to get that job one day... wow, it was so disgusting!</p> <p>Another job I had was to destroy all the shelves in a Hechinger's home improvement store with a sledgehammer... you know, those ones that go all the way to the ceiling. We would climb way up to the top of the shelves, and then break down the shelves one level at a time. When we finished that, I was given a chain saw and told to climb up on top of the outdoor fence and chainsaw what I was standing on. Umm, no thanks. Luckily I stepped on a nail before I killed myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358822 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:39:09 +0000 DpeachLu 358822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: hahaha @ buying tampons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358821 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:38:06 +0000 lawbee11 358821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of these happened at my current job, but at one job my boss asked me to take defensive driving online for him, and at another job my boss had me go to the store to buy her tampons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-craziest-task-a-boss-or-supervisor-has-asked-you-to-do#post-358797 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:28:08 +0000 DpeachLu 358797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was actually a topic on the morning radio show I listen to - today. There were some CRAZY things people were asked to do.<br /> Nothing too crazy has ever been asked of me, but a lot of annoying things! Im sure some of you have some great reads though. </p> <p>I guess for myself I have to say supervisor asked me to pretend I was him and text message with a current fling, while he sat in a meeting.<br /> awkward - he basically just wanted me to respond with uh huhs and yes and oh reallys? lol. I really wanted to be like "uh this is not in my job description" </p> <p>some other super annoying things I've had to do was listen to JAIL CALLS from a client to her parents, while she was awaiting trial for the stabbing and death of her husband. The calls were mostly boring but it was VERY excrutiating and took me about a month to sit here and listen to EVERY.SINGLE.CONVERSATION </p>
