I thought it might be interesting to post who we think are the worst rolemodels.

One of my ideas of the worst rolemodel...
The lousy boss.
He's the kind of boss you avoid to comminucate with on purpose. He thinks that social skills makes a person a good worker, while his mind clearly misses all the effort a person gives to the business and any smiles/compliments the customer sends in return. As far as he is concerned, you need to "step up" and/or work harder. However, instead of explaining why or what you need to "step up" he annoyingly dodges giving an answer by blameing you for complaining or arguing toward him.
He will tell you that he listens to you "if there is a problem" in the very begining to lure you into his 'not good enough", manipulative mind games. Soon as you do try to tell him about something, he replyies to you with some standard line that has worked to brush you off in the past. Such as, "No one's harassing you. No one's being mean to you." The same, lame line will even pop up with a stupid, lousy boss when you only wish to be more sure about your job performance and nothing more.
If he does finally find a problem between employees, he won't rationaly try to solve the issue. He will use shouting and demeaning phrases to "correct" your "bad actions". When the conflict is in place, he will forever treat you like the lazy, unloyal employee regardless of what you done or what you accomplished during your job. He won't believe you if you tell him about missing products or food ingrediance that is running out of stock. After all, you're not his little employee buddy and therefore (according to him) don't have the intellectual standard that a person should have because you aren't friends. To him, friends can't do any wrong.
If you tell him something is out of stock, he will ask for a second oppinion, or for someone else to check as if you don't know what you're doing. Nothing you do will be suffictiant for him. As soon as you get to the last standard he told you, he will raise the difficulty up a notch and make your job feel like some cheep video game of drudgery and enslavement. Everything his friendly, social coworkers do, even the errors, he treats as 'ok' and might even give them a little mini warning. When you do the same thing you get yelled at or warned. He will sometimes argue with customers, but tell you never to do the same thing.
