    (#1) Woman Donates Kidney to Boss, Gets Fired

    Debbie Stevens, a Long Island mother, donated a kidney to save her boss's life. The woman was then fired soon after, by the very same boss to whom she donated the kidney. After temporarily moving away and taking another job elsewhere, Stevens decided to visit her old town in Long Island and meet up with her former employer, Jackie Brucia.

    Brucia mentioned her health issues and discussed the potential donor lined up. In turn, Stevens, offered her own kidney if the original donor fell through. 

    A few months later, Stevens reached out to Brucia for a job. After securing employment, Brucia mentioned the donor fell through. Stevens quickly donated her kidney, which actually wasn't a perfect match, but it did help Brucia get up higher on the donor list. Stevens donated her kidney to someone else, so Brucia could have a quicker transplant. 

    Soon after the procedure, Brucia began hounding Stevens to show up to work, even though she was recovering from the very painful and difficult kidney operation.

    Stevens was subsequently assigned to another office 50 miles from her home in a high-crime neighborhood her co-workers jokingly called "Siberia." She was finally fired and took legal action against the company for its actions.

One was a horseshoe - a "brand" he required of all his female employees - and another was the date of his own birthday (Sept. 17th - "917") on the back of her neck.

    But that was just the beginning. It turned out all the women working out the "massage parlor" were undocumented individuals from Belarus and Ukraine, and Campbell held on to their passports and visas. He forced a few into intimate encounters with him and one another and recoded them for blackmail purposes.

    Gardiner's boss dropped by the recovery room for a visit. However, he didn't bring with him flowers or balloons, but rather, the news that Gardiner would be fired from his job after 11 years. His manager tried to defend the decision by saying the operation had not been fully successful, and Gardiner would not be able to resume his former duties. He stuck to this story even after the doctors explained that the surgery was completely successful.

  • Boss Uses Employee Credit Cards to Pay for Fuel for His Private Jet on Random Most Horrible Bosses

    (#8) Boss Uses Employee Credit Cards to Pay for Fuel for His Private Jet

    Lenny "Nails" Dykstra was a center-fielder for the New York Mets in the late-1980s and the Philadelphia Phillies throughout most of the '90s. Some years later, in 2008, he started a magazine called Player's Club about professional athletes and their expensive lifestyles. He even offered them financial advice.

    The problem was that Dykstra was still living one of those expensive lifestyles even though he was no longer an athlete. In 2008, his net worth was estimated at $58 million. In 2009, he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, listing less than $50,000 in assets. He claimed to be a victim of mortgage fraud, lost a house to foreclosure, and was the subject of at least two dozen legal actions since 2007. 

    In addition to his myriad personal issues, he was a bad boss. Dykstra had a reputation for pestering employees at all hours of the night, even inviting prospective employees to dinner and stick them with the bill. But those were still small potatoes. The unluckiest employees were pressured into providing him credit card access with the promise they would be paid back with interest. "One of the dumbest decisions I ever made, giving him my American Express card information," said Kevin Coughlin, who left another job to become photo director for The Players Club.

    Coughlin said that Dykstra ran up tens of thousands of dollars on his card, including one $32,000 charge for a leased jet from Atlanta to Helena, Mont., where Dykstra’s son, Cutter, was playing minor league ball. Coughlin worked only 67 days for Dykstra, but it took months to recover the money.
