I just discovered this blog because I am trying to post an exceedingly insulting comment my boss gave me anywhere that will have it!

Our story begins, when I was moving a little too slow for his liking:

My Boss: “Are you mentally retarded? I mean, do I get a tax credit for hiring you because you are mentally retarded?”

Nice guy. Can’t wait to go to work for him tomorrow.

Situation. State of Emergency for blizzard conditions. City Mayor informed the press that all non essential personnel need not to report to work.” Stay at home or work at home, stay off the roads and let the plow trucks work”.
Received message from boss. ” all employee must report to work today”. 1 hr and half delay on start time.

me: arrived at work 45 mins past the start due to road conditions.

Boss: Your lateness is unacceptable!

Me: Wow. XXX____ in the shop is out of work today sick. That breaks a 10 year perfect attendance streak. I hope he is ok. (amputation of two toes, diabetes condition)

Boss: I want that son of a bitch fired!

me: Blink blink….ummmm

me: what? You can’t do that.

Boss: are you being insubordinate? I’ll fire your ass too!

me: No, not insubordinate. Sane. I am trying to keep your ass out of trouble, actually.

Boss: maybe you should just go punch out and go home if you don;t want to do what I say!!!

Me: I am not punching out. I am calling corporate to get their approval on your temination request. That is policy.

Boss: I am ordering you not to follow that policy.

Me: Can we discuss this in private rather than in front of entire staff?

Boss: blink blink… no, i want witnesses.

Me: ok..i am going to back to my office. Corporate will be pissed when i fire this guy without approval.

Boss: how will they know?

Me: I have to tell them and send paperwork and cobra and and and

Boss: Sit down. Just forget the whole thing if it is that complicated

me: ……..

I got him fired a week later

Me: Please let me read over your notices to the staff before you post them so I can help you catch glaring errors. It hurts your credibility when there are a lot of typos.
Boss: I don’t need credibility, I can fire people.

That is so sad! But I’m still laughing at his (I’m assuming) stupidity!
