Talking down on your employees
Micromanaging and being rude
Lack of empathy or compassion
Ego and abuse of power for personal gain.
That is a "loaded" question. However, I would say one that was very aggressive (always angry) in his/her way of addressing their people. Also, a "slave-driver", i.e. one who forcefully pushes and pushes one or more/all of their people until their half dead. Anyone who screws their people over to make themselves look good. A dead-beat boss who couldn't care any less of the workers or the company. These are a few kinds of the worse kind of manager or supervisor.
talks down to employees and constanly changing the rules an employee thinks they are doing it right but then they are constantly being told they did it wrong do it this way even though you just told them to do it that way
Failure to listen to his employees and just taking his managers word for it. Untouchable .to good for anyone but those higher up. looks down on his employees. Inhuman, greedy, and unfeeling. My way or the highway.
Acting like they know more than you
Lack of dignity and respect for employees.
Not appreciating a hard worker. Always criticizing behind their backs. Their way or no way. Not open for suggestions.
One that does not communicate with his people.
reverse racism and favortisim
Speaking down to you or snapping at you when they have other things going on.
Elitism, not listening, not being present, not understanding the job functions of their staff, not doing their actual work, micromanaging, nepotism.
Ego and the inability to separate themselves from it.
The worst traits typically have to be the disassociation with the fact that the employees are still people - but instead get treated like just a worker. Either that, or when the boss or manager is just completely out of touch with their employees to see what is wrong with the company and what needs to be fixed.
