At some point in our life we will work with someone who makes going to work a living hell. Someone so difficult and intense that we become riddled with anxiety and stress.
Sam Blacker gets people to anonymously share their stories of the truly worst possible coworkers and bosses and retells it with names and some details changed.
And while some parts are changed, the one thing that remains the same is that the truly nightmarish coworkers can be found in any job.

Customer Reviews
Thank you!
There is no doubt, nightmares do exist. So, this podcast, ( apart from brilliantly produced, researched and narrated ), allows the listener to not feel alone. I have worked in a few industries and I can certainly relate to many aspects of these stories. Again, thank you.
Some great stories from the workplace
I enjoyed the stories, I’ve been very lucky to have had mostly pleasant workplaces but my friends haven’t been as lucky, so I know for sure there are some crazy workplaces out there. I’ve loved hearing everybodies stories, Sam is also a great host - and have only taken one star off because sometimes the audio isn’t as crisp and clear as it should be and it affects listening enjoyment.
Well done!
I think that we have all worked with at least one nightmare during our working career, thanks for sharing others stories
