The Qualities of the Best or Worst Supervisor I have Ever had In this essay, I will be talking about the qualities of the worst supervisor I have ever had. A bad supervisor can make things very tough for everyone. One of the worst qualities a supervisor can have is not being fair to their employees. Other qualities my supervisor had included micromanaging, being inconsiderate, never being able to admit a mistake, and being a poor communicator.

When the instructions are not clear and we asked for help to try and figure out what he really needs he never helped. Mistakes could happen when you do not have all the information you need and he never cared about that and just used it to blame the employees rather than
