Looking for a job when he got there, will be looking for a job when he leaves there. But, oh the sweetness of it all.

Twice I have worked for horrible bosses - very cruel and lived their life to make others miserable.

Both times I was able to quit in a way that was sudden and left them in a horrible spot. When I was a senior in high school, I worked at a pizza parlor where the boss was lazy, mean and spent most of his time in his office calling in the college female waitstaff so he could flirt with them. I was the hostess but had to start bussing tables because the waitstaff decided they had enough and stopped clearing their own tables so no more customers could be seated. He called me in his office and chastised me for not bussing them quicker and I reminded him that it wasn’t my job and I was working as hard as I could. He made the comment, “well, you just don’t want to be having to look for another job” and I stood up and said I already have another job, took off my apron and walked out on a very busy college football Friday night. I was maybe halfway through the restaurant heading for the door and I heard him say, “well.....fine then!!!”.

Last quitting, during a morning meeting with my boss where he kept pulling up the video cameras where he could watch the cute girl in sales while he berated me for the tenth time for screwing up the main sales spreadsheet (it was never me and he knew it), I called him an ‘ingnoranus’ - he smirked and corrected me ‘ignoramus’ and I said, “no, you are an idiot and an asshole” and left with my purse and dignity. I didn’t have a fallback job and it was at a very bad time but that ilk was as close to evil as I have ever been and couldn’t be in the same building with him.

Five months later, I hit the career jackpot so all was well! My heart goes out to that employee and I know he will land on his feet!!! Hugs to whoever you are!!!
