Share some district manager horror stories.

Well, micromanagement is a big one. District managers who focus on every tiny detail instead of the overall performance of the store can make the work environment unbearable. Also, there's favoritism in some cases. If a district manager has favorites among the store managers, it can lead to unfair treatment of others. And of course, there's the matter of unqualified district managers who make bad decisions that impact the stores negatively, like ordering the wrong inventory or not planning for seasonal trends.

Well, I heard one where a Burger King manager was really mean to the employees. He would constantly yell at them for minor mistakes. One time, an employee accidentally dropped a few fries while packing an order, and the manager made him clean the whole kitchen area as punishment.

There was a manager in a company I know who took credit for all the good ideas of his team. Whenever the team presented a great solution to a problem, he would present it to upper management as his own. This led to a lot of resentment among the team members and eventually high turnover. They felt unappreciated and used. It was a real horror story in terms of management ethics.

In some horror stories, district attorneys might be influenced by political pressure. They could be pressured to pursue certain cases or not pursue others based on political affiliations. This can lead to a miscarriage of justice. For instance, if there is a case involving a powerful political figure, the district attorney might be persuaded to go easy on the prosecution, or even try to cover up the case, which is a serious violation of the public's trust in the justice system.

One horror story from a historic district could be about a haunted mansion. People claim to see apparitions of a former owner who was murdered there. Late at night, strange noises like creaking floorboards and moaning sounds can be heard.

One horror story I've heard is about an apartment manager who would constantly enter tenants' units without proper notice. He claimed it was for 'inspections' but would move things around and even take small items. Tenants felt violated but were afraid to complain as they didn't want to get evicted.

There have been instances where district attorneys have misused their power during plea bargaining. They would offer extremely harsh plea deals to defendants who couldn't afford proper legal representation. For example, a person facing a minor drug charge was pressured into pleading guilty to a much more serious offense just because they didn't have the resources to fight the case in court. This is a horror story as it shows how the justice system can be unfair when the district attorney doesn't act with integrity.

Sure. There was a stage manager who thought they had arranged for all the props to be in place. But on the day of the performance, they realized that half of the important props were missing. It was a mad scramble to find replacements or improvise. Another horror story is when the stage manager misread the dimensions of the stage and ordered a set that was way too big to fit. It took a lot of effort to modify the set at the last minute.

One horror story could be when a stage manager lost all the cue sheets right before a big performance. It was a complete chaos as the actors and technicians were relying on those cues for lighting, sound, and scene changes. Another could be a stage manager who accidentally booked two different shows on the same stage at the same time, leading to major disputes between the production teams.

I heard of a hiring manager who asked inappropriate and discriminatory questions during the interview. For example, asking about a candidate's family planning when it had no relation to the job. This made the candidate uncomfortable and violated equal opportunity employment laws. It shows a lack of proper training and professionalism on the part of the hiring manager.
