1 & 2: True.

3: My job flatly denies the opportunity to stretch ones abilities. All attempts to grow are slapped down unless they agree with the status quo.

4: I used to give ideas. Until I realised none were listened to until about 3-4 weeks later the boss had the exact same idea and complete amnesia that I'd ever mentioned it!!

7: NO! Email means you are avoiding talking to the person. When your boss is over 40 they dislike email - no matter how technical they are. They believe the only valid form of communicating is phone or face-to-face.

9: True.

11: The 'boss' doesn't like us going out for lunch.

12: The 'boss' likes to highlight peoples failings in a public meeting. He tells you quietly if he likes something.

15: Shame the boss doesn't agree with that sentiment.

18: Don't celebrate birthdays!

19: The 'boss' trusts no one. Cameras everywhere. He checks what you're doing outside of work.
