[quote=Anonymous]I used to work for a man who had a total napoleonic complex. He thought he was very charismatic, but his raging insecurities and anxiety were incredibly obvious. He pit me and another employee against each other by giving us "homework" and then comparing our answers. He talked shit about other employees to me. He brought his dog into the office and it smelled up the place with it's awful gas. He had a bunch of anxious tics and often spoke to his employees like they were idiots. He micromanaged to the point where he would actually sit down at employees' computers while they watched and do minuscule tasks despite being totally unqualified to do the actual work. The turnover in that place was high and I knew going in that I wouldn't stay there very long but I needed the job. He literally drove his employees to drink. We would take boozy lunches together to get through the afternoon. His relative was given a high position despite not knowing anything. He gave an employee shit for being out for one week after the birth of his child. He was super conservative and didn't know how to relate to women or people of color. He told me inappropriate personal details. Man, it was seriously entertaining working there, but everyone was pretty talentless because he couldn't hold onto anyone good.
