In their own words, Stanleybing.com readers talk about the bullies, narcissists and other crazy bosses they spend their working days with.

A reader from Los Angeles writes:

I work on a team of alphas. Our boss is a classic wimp and his boss is a classic narcissist. One buries us under a sea of meaningless jargon, paper, meetings and inaction and the other spends all of his time trying to think of ways to get us to love him by trying to buy us. It’s like working in an insane asylum. The very last thing anyone actually cares about is getting anything done which of course is the only thing a team of alphas is interested in.

What do you think? Is this boss crazy?
