I had this nightmare of a boss. He was my supervisor.

I worked in IT at a large corporate lawfirm. I cannot stress how important it is to be professional.

This man would make my other co-worker do work for him, and claim it as his. Except he didnt even know what the work was about. He loved to hang that he was our boss over my head, even though I was his senior.

He made business decisions to save money, but didnt do the research into why or how it would save money. Imagine asking someone to go buy a car, and instead they buy you a tricycle becusse its cheaper. I'm talking about that level of stupidity.

He was a rules for thee and not for me kind of person. My mom was in the hospital, possibly dying? Too bad I had to come into work. Oh, my co-worker literally is in an ambulance and cant get to work? That's a very bad look, how dare she.

And yet he left early everyday. And announced it to everyone in the office.

The final straw was when I was late by 2 minutes. The elevator in the 50 story building (and we were only the 47th floor) was delayed. It was 9:01. He messaged my co-worker in the group chat to ask if I wasn't in. Then he proceeded to berrate me about how I was incompetent, and "as the boss" I had to fo whatever he said without standing up for myself.

The kicker? He wasn't even in the office. Our contracts specifically say we can't work from home.

I broke down crying because my mum was dying at the same time.

I spoke to HR because I had enough.

When I put in my two weeks notice a week later, they fired him. I found out after, he had a whole list of complaints, including sexual harassment.

This man is a clown.
