Careerbuilder Halloween Survey Reveals Scary Bosses

It seems that the Careerbuilder Halloween survey shows that some workers don’t even have to leave work to spend time in a haunted house. According to the Careerbuilder site, when asked which popular characters best reflect their boss’s behavior, workers said the following:

Glenda the Good Witch, liked and respected by all - 20 percent

The Wolf Man, is fine one minute, howling the next - 11 percent

The Invisible Man, never around - 10 percent

Casper the Friendly Ghost, eager to help, but often misunderstood - 9 percent

Dracula, constantly sucking the life right out of you - 6 percent

Wicked Witch of the West, always acting conniving and sending out minions to do his/her dirty work - 5 percent

The Mummy, slow-moving and has an ancient thought process - 4 percent

Grim Reaper, constantly delivers bad news and inspires fear among workers - 3 percent

Frankenstein, green with envy - 1 percent

A scary boss wasn't the only spooky result to the Careerbuilder Halloween survey. In addition to spooky bosses, when asked what the scariest part of their job was, workers reported the following fear-inducing activities:

Workload - 18 percent

Performance reviews - 9 percent

Tight deadlines - 9 percent

Hours worked - 8 percent

Their boss or supervisor - 7 percent

Sitting through meetings - 6 percent

Its online career site, CareerBuilder.com, is the largest in the United States with more than 23 million unique visitors, 1 million jobs and 32 million resumes. If you're in a spooky job right now, hold on to it due to the high rate of unemployment. However, don't feel that you can't take a peek at the user-friendly Careerbuilder site if this Halloween night you find that the goblins running through the streets are friendlier than your boss.
