The Most Unusual Things Bosses Asked Employees To Do

Thank Goodness it is Friday and that weekend is finally here. But I have to ask, did your boss come up with any last minute requests? Maybe work over the weekend? Clean the kitchen area before you go home tonight? It seems that on a Friday everyone avoids the boss as much as possible just in case he/she might need something not work related. Is it fair for the boss to ask favors? Help me move. Do my kids science project? I don't think it is but what are you going to do, he is the boss right?

According to a survey by CareerBuilder, here are 10 of the strangest things bosses have asked employees to do:

1. One boss asked the staff to be ready to delete ALL files and email at a moment's notice.

2. A female boss asked a female employee to be a surrogate mother for her . . . on more than one occasion.

3. Another boss asked an employee to buy a rifle for him . . . and said he'd pay him back.

4. One guy asked if anyone could, quote, "hook him up" with drugs.

5. A boss had an employee come up with a science-fair project for his daughter.

6. One guy didn't want to be the one to fire his brother . . . so he asked an employee to do it for him.

7. One guy asked an employee to lend him $400 for a down payment on a car.

8. After having surgery, one woman asked her employee to help remove her stitches.

9. One boss asked for help planning her wedding.

10. And finally . . . one boss sent his employees to an abandoned office building to try to recover furniture and office supplies they could use.
