Yours was pretty bad, but MY Evil Boss Lady was EVEN WORSE!!!! In addition to pretty much the same crap your boss gave you, get this: In a meeting I initiated with a vendor, who brought ME a bottle of wine as a gift, she took it for herself and she doesn’t even DRINK alcohol!Then there was the time she told me I really had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and should not have volunteered to mentor other staff(even though 3 people specifically requested me as a mentor)because I was bad. And she wouldn’t fire ME either! Just torture me…

Class,

Yes, it does sound like they are related. And by the way just what were you thinking NOT ANSWERING THE PHONE WHILE IN THE BATHROOM? No wonder she was mad.

Oh man! I worked as a contractor, paid by the hour, when this lady needed me, as in, I came in on the days she wanted a worker and didn’t come in on other days.

I think she might be a cousin to EvilBossLady. I was driving to work and my car died. Just died. Had to be towed to the mechanic. I called her to tell her I was going to be late and she got really mad. Even though I was being paid 1) by the hour and 2) she had about three hours of work for me to do that day.

If she called while I was in the bathroom and couldn’t answer the phone, she got mad at me. Where was I? Why hadn’t I answered her call?

Then she paid me from the company $$ to feed her cats (at her house) while she was out of town, which I am pretty sure was some kind of tax fraud.

Wouldn’t it be so much more fun to work for Evil Boss Lady now that you are farther along in your career and more confident and politically savvy? You could push her to the funny farm in less than a week!!!

Great post! I really enjoyed it.
