[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got fired from two part-time jobs between age 17-20 (both were the same type of service industry establishment). At both, I’d mentioned at some point that I was majoring in XYZ in college. At the time of the firings, both bosses nastily said some variation of “I don’t know you manage to major in XYZ when you can’t even complete tasks properly here.”[/quote] My worst boss was a nasty chief of staff in Congress, who once told me he couldn't believe I was a lawyer because lawyers are smart. He specialized in making all the female staffers cry, a few times a week. I could kick myself for having stayed as long as I did - I ended up up walking out and never coming back after 11 months, when I got screamed at for having said "you're welcome" to a constituent who was happy with something we'd done for them. The CoS - and the big boss - both thought that meant I was taking credit. The big boss used to scream about how it was his name on the plaque outside the door, not ours. We were all trying so hard, and this is how they treated us. Horrible, horrible people. They're still there - and I'd imagine still terrorizing staff.[/quote]
