Short of actually telling the snipers to shoot, this might be the worst boss ever:
On his first day at work, the new sheriff of Clayton County called 27 employees into his office on Monday, fired them and had snipers stand guard on the roof as they were escorted out the door. A judge on Tuesday ordered him to rehire the employees.The sheriff, Victor Hill, 39, defended the firings and said he had the right to shake up the department in whatever way he felt necessary. Sheriff Hill also said it was necessary to fire the workers the way he did, including taking some deputies home in vans normally used to transport prisoners because the deputies were barred from using county cars.

I assume it's the same story as this one which doesn't require a NY Times login:

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. But did you see the description of the previous incident that had scared him into acting that way? That's a strange, strange part of the country...
