    National TV Show looking for People Who've Had Psychopath Boss

    Hi -

    I work for a national TV news show and we want to do an interview with someone who has had a boss who was a psychopath. Not just a crazy or bad boss, but a psychopath.

    Please note -- we will NOT ask you to name on camera the name of the boss or company.

    If this describes you, please post an email address or phone number and I'll be in touch.

    Thanks.

    Reply: Probably not a good idea to post a phone number on here, and posting an email address might pickup the spam-bots. The best thing, SumiAggarwal, would be if you can post a throwaway email address (hotmail, gmail, etc) so that anyone who had this experience can email you.

    Reply: I agree. I worked in an environment which is known to breed narcissists. If I had an email address and could assured confidentiality then I might be willing to come forward. There are legal ramifications here for most of us if we are identified, I hope you are aware of that.

    Reply: I had a boss in the past I called him the 'mad scientist' he poured water on my head and slammed his fist into my car windshield and broke the windshield. He was eventually diagnosed as manic depressive. I was actually going to write a feature film; as he was on the Merv Griffith show many years ago as he was the first man to come up with a car running on water. He shared with me....he was approached by the oil cartel and they threatened to kidnap his son and make his life miserable. GiGi
