“All” of us?

I never met one, and was pubskewled from the word go.

I met a few slackers, and a few bullies, but even the most diabolical one (and I’d name and shame him if I could) still would not hold a candle to the subject of this account.

The sole one I know who did get into serious trouble (killed someone as it turned out) was an oddball who lived across the street but wasn’t all that known for cutting up. Maybe the most obnoxious thing he did was to play rock music out of his bedroom window, for a few minutes during the day. (I answered him with the theme from “Batman.”) And shot off illicit fireworks with my brother. I.e., near normal for a rambunctious kid. All that changed when he got involved in illicit drug deals, and he shot somebody.

I worked for one at a large corporation. She made one guy kill himself. Put another into a mental hospital. Publicly humiliated everyone in her group. Kept all our planned raises for herself and froze our salaries for three years. Gave everyone in her group a “5” (unsatisfactory; fire them). Made each of us sit in her office while she read our reports, sentence by sentence, making fun of them and scolding us (she couldn’t string two sentences together). Utterly irrational. Mad as a hatter. Got promoted. I was the only one in the group who fought her up to the VP level. Made her retract my 5 rating and rate me as “satisfactory.” VP of corporate ethics hired a PI and made him hide all her wrong-doing. Oh, yes; this was Digital Equipment Corporation on the way down to oblivion.
