I type this with hesistant fingers, as I'm sure my ex-boss (who ALWAYS works SOOOOO hard) is probably surfing the Web, looking at porn and trying to steal other groups' ideas, as I write this. Whew, deep breath, here goes.
I am a hard working college graduate, who wanted to make the world a better place, post-graduation. I joined a non-profit and proceeded to barely endure the worst year and half of my life under the most incompetent, tyrannical, miserable, fugliest, unhappiest boss ever. (Well, if you could call her a boss, her management skills were similar to those of a gorilla who had undergone a lobotomy. Shit-throwing included.)
This person had it out for me from the start, threw things (cell phones, staplers) at me, yelled at me daily, called me dumb just about daily. Uh, bitch, you're the one that hired me!
NEVER ONCE DID I TURN OFF MY CELL PHONE the entire time I worked there, becuse HER MAJESTY WAS SO DAMN FUCKING IMPORTANT. Constant multiple phone calls on the weekends to run down to the office to take care of something that was HER RESPONSIBILITY, her fuckup. I lived in fear of that damn ringtone.
The irony? I am a tough-as-nails, no BS kinda person. I call it like it is and don't take crap from anyone. Except, strangely enough, from her.
Another kicker? I have shit on her you wouldn't believe. "Missing" funds. Overheard conversations about personal activities with donors. It pays to actually be nice to your coworkers, it's amazing what they'll share in confidence if they trust and like you.
Just a few tricks to pull out of my sleeve, if need be.
The final revenge? My new job kicks ass- it's fun, it's interesting, I love my bosses, I don't ever work weekends... and oh, I make a A LOT MORE than her Majesty could possibly imagine. And she and her organization will NEVER see a dime of it.
Thanks, Job Swill! You just saved me years of therapy.
