Be very afraid. No kidding. I worked for a narcissistic SOB for 18 months. I was his whipping boy. He is a very cruel man with a reputation as such.
Never again will I work for anyone who disrespects me.
Not saying you do, thought maybe you were using some reverse psychology or something by posting a very verbose warning.
BTW, I trust that the pic is something most folks aren't interested in seeing?
Cheers!
Only if they gang up on each other!!!
How a company policy begins
Step 1:
Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water.
After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Keep doing this. Pretty soon, whenever another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it by mercilessly attacking the unfortunate climber.
Step 2:
Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Step 3:
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.
Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Final Step:
After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here.
And that, my friends, is how a company policy begins.
My boss makes Hanable Lecter look like Mary Poppins
Well, ya warned me. Eye just had to go and look anyway. Now eye can't see a dam thing!!!
Had a run-in with that dollop of stupidity and lard. Every time I think about it, I feel a sudden compulsion to bathe.
WORLD'S SHORTEST FAIRY TALE
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, "Will you marry me?"
The girl said, "No."
And the guy lived happily ever after and went golfing and fishing a lot.

WORLD'S SHORTEST JOKE
A baby seal walks into a club.
I'm sorry that your week sucked, Bill, but I thought that, for you, that would be a good thing.
