Bad Boss

Shana, Michigan

Well I could give hours of examples, but my former boss had these huge mood swings, nice one minute ready to fire you the next.

One day she came to work pulled me aside and said she had seen a doctor, then proceeded to pull a bottle of pills out and poured them on the desk - she picked out some small yellow ones and instructed me to force her to take two of those kinds if she ever "really wigged out".

Looking down at the pills I noticed there were about 15 different types in the bottle and asked what they were for, she said she had "multiple" issues.

Another time she called me and gave me a assignment which I started on, I called her back after reviewing additional material and asked some follow up questions (her first instructions did not align with the documents). I went back to the assignment only to find her answers didn't make sense, I called her once again and asked if I could come and see her - by this time the production manager had joined me as it affected his area - upon arriving at her office I was showing her the materials I found and explained why her instructions didn't make sense - she jumped up from her chair, got about 2 inches from my face and screamed (yes screamed) WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO @#!&ING DIFFICULT - READ MY #@$&ING MIND AND GET IT DONE!! I left her office went to HR and gave my notice on the spot, went back to her office opened her pill bottle dumped them all out and told her she needed a heavy dose of all or some of them and left.
