Are estate agents really the worst bosses in the UK?

Estate agents have been named as the worst bosses to work for in the UK.

Agency managers top a list of Britain’s worst bosses, ahead of chefs, events managers, recruitment managers and call centre managers.

Asda commissioned the research and found that hairdressers were a cut above the rest, with school head teachers and shop managers also scoring well, followed by cabin crew managers and building site foremen.

Individually, the worst bosses to work for are apparently Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell, Jeremy Clarkson, Katie Hopkins and Joey Essex.

The nation’s idea of a lovely boss is Joanna Lumley, followed by Mary Berry, Jamie Oliver, Alan Sugar (oh come on) and Ant and Dec.

We’re not quite sure how a poll that finds Alan Sugar is a real sweetie and which also names estate agents as the bosses from hell could possibly be taken seriously.

But if it’s any comfort, the poll was conducted ahead of the launch of a children’s clothing range, so we can all see the synergies in that.

If it’s any further comfort, Eye can reassure readers that the usual chief suspects – journalists – have been omitted in error.

Indeed, we would rather rise at dawn and scrub down multi-storey car parks for the minimum wage than recommend some of our previous bosses as delightful people to work for.

And no sign of banks or politicians in the poll either.

    PIE…

    Posting news like this is not exactly positive promotion of our business – plus, you stole this reconstituted rubbish from the Metro.

    Who’s side are you on?

      REALLY?

      I’m sorry but your understanding – or lack of, as the case clearly is – of what EYE is all about is what the main topic up for discussion should be.

    Real estate can be a competitive market. A Realtor needs to work fast to secure a deal. Most real estate agents get a bit harsh when they need to secure a deal fast. So yeah, they can get bad if it’s a huge deal they need to secure.
