Pathetic Bosses and their equally pathetic gestures

My current boss takes the cake. Not only does he take the cake but he also takes the entire bakery along for the ride.

I put in my Papers last monday having endured enough trash from him to last me a lifetime. I was put on a pedestal, taken down, lauded and then when he'd extracted whatever he could he hurled me off the pedestal, crunched me underfoot, abused me and my skill sets and did his best to displace me. That's an entirely different matter that I was able to survive on the good will that I'd accumulated in my short stint at the head office.

I gave up hating him long ago. I simply stopped caring about him and his dumbness. I'd come to the office, lounge around, drink endless cups of coffee, make perfunctionary phone calls, read comics and about the latest HR innovations, chat with co-workers, eat lunch, and then go back home having put in another unproductive day at the office.

My sense of self worth would plummet on a daily basis and then finally all the Googling and networking came through and I landed another Job.

The day I told my present boss, (technically he remains boss untill I walk out once and for all), he just said,"I hope u have a job lined up." (Rumor has it that he did the bhangra one handed while using the other hand to Jerk off)

Two days later he called me in front of the entire staff and declared that he was sorry, (???????????), to see me go and handed me a box containing the very same tie that he had been wearing that morning. His cloying arabic perfume is so thoroughly ingrained in that disgusting yellow and orange concoction that I would never dream of wearing it, let alone actually touch it. Suggestions of returning the damn thing on the last day were mooted by wiser people on the grounds that one needs to be the bigger person.

All said and done, Boss is one pathetic person who would have been more successful as a politician.
