If you accept that truism, it’s costing the UK a fortune. In 2010 PricewaterhouseCoopers, revealed that an average of 10.4% of staff resigned from their job, costing the UK £42bn a year. A further 24% would like to leave if they could.
Fortunately, Hollywood has the answer.
In its latest blockbuster, Horrible Bosses, staff don’t leave their bosses, they kill them. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers…permanently.
So partly for fun, and partly to inspire, tell us some short stories from your experience that highlight the best and worst about UK management. A killer punchline is not required.

I once briefly worked in a pub where it turned out the reason I was getting large tips left on the bar was not due to my stellar bar service but because upstairs we were apparently running a brothel. My boss… clearly rather horrible! I mean, there’s working in the hospitality industry and then there’s a whole range of stuff you didn’t know you’d signed up for!
