Most of us slog through a good old-fashioned 9-to-5 (unless you’re a lottery winner). And while there are plenty of things that can make office life less than ideal, like a coffee machine that never works, or that one coworker who chews too loudly, nothing sours the experience quite like a bad boss.
One office assistant shared a story, nearly 20 years later, about his former boss who took micromanagement and ego-tripping to a whole new level. After being told not to remind her about deadlines and to just “use their brain,” the assistant did exactly that and didn’t follow up on a major project. The boss missed the deadline, chaos unfolded, and despite the the author following instructions to the letter, he was the one who got fired. Classic case of do as I say until it backfires. So grab a snack and settle in Pandas, because this tale of one employee vs. their wildly egotistical former boss is too good to miss.
