On the other hand, the worst manager / boss i ever worked for was also a woman.
Ditto that.
I had one who was mean, petty and liberal. One year I cancelled my planned vacation for the end of the summer after a cancer diagnosis. I was able to do ABPI so I took a week at the beginning of the 4th quarter for treatment. She complained for weeks that I held on to my vacation just to cause trouble and NOT to do it in the future. Yeah, I "caught" cancer just to p$ss her off. Psycho.
When I found out my wife was pregnant, I told my then boss I’d be taking a week off in April with no notice.
The bonehead actually said “As long as no one else is off that week”
I look at him with contempt and told him it wasn’t an option.
