37 percent said their supervisor failed to give credit when due.

31 percent said their supervisor gave them the "silent treatment" in the past year.

27 percent said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers.

24 percent said their supervisor invaded their privacy.

23 percent said their supervisor blamed others to cover up mistakes or to minimize embarrassment.

Arguably, my ex-boss did not invade my privacy (although he DID call me at home on weekends to fix problems at the office - so he didn't have to go in). Other than that, he did everything else.

CAVEAT: My current job - and current boss - are so keen that I feel like it's some sort of karmic payback for the last job.
