"During first period, my arm hurt horribly, but I continued teaching. But when I reached for chalk, and my fingers would not move, I did go [to the hospital] where my broken arm was set." Those are just two of the "bad boss" stories MarketWatch readers e-mailed in. But does your demanding boss really fall into the category ...
