“I’m a hugger”–Bob Filner
The website ebosswatch.com has named former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner America’s Worst Boss. All the “top” vote getters share this dubious distinction in this year’s voting,
The managers who made this year’s list of America’s Worst Bosses were named in workplace lawsuits filed by their employees or were accused of workplace harassment and/or sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and/or creating a hostile work environment.
And these boorish, buffoonish, mean (mostly) boys also cost a lot of people A LOT of money,
To date, the 2013 America’s Worst Bosses have cost their employers over $52 million in monetary damages and lawsuit settlement payments. Of this amount, the 33 bad bosses in the public sector have cost their respective taxpayers over $21 million.
Herewith is the partial list of America’s Worst Bosses:
