LONDON, June 2 (UPI) -- An online British poll found the most respondents with gripes about their bosses were unhappy with superiors named John or Anne.

The poll of 4,000 Britons, conducted by YouThinkYourBossIsBad.co.uk, found participants were also plagued by bad bosses named Steve, Paul, Alan, Catherine, Debbie and Linda, The Sun reported Monday.

Additionally, 51 percent of those polled said they have left a job in the past because of unpleasant superiors and 10 percent said they are on the verge of quitting their current job due to an unbearable boss.
