That is all
What, does he devour coworkers like hotdogs, or something?
No, it most certainly is not! We need the whole story, dude!
My boss is a physicopath. He cannot fathom the incorporeal world.
“It started when he made me come in and work weekends with no overtime. Then he began asking me to help him bury some dead prostitutes. I told him I had been hired for data processing and this was out of title work but he threatened to murder my parents and cut back on my lunch break so I felt I had no choice.”
Mine is an idiot. He has a lot of faults, but the one that disturbs me the most is the lying. Even when I call him on it; it doesn’t seem to register. It would appear that someone had a meeting oneday and asked. " ok, I need someone who isn’t smarter than a bag of hammers"
And he stepped forward.
Psychopaths are not necessarily violent killers. They walk among us as amoral beings and they wreak havoc upon every life they touch. Snakes in Suits.
One of the things of my old job was taking pictures of various incidents for documentation. My boss announced we were spending a lot on film and he wanted us to take less pictures. I knew better then to let him get away with some vague pronouncement (because this would eventually be followed by a future “that’s not what I told you to do”) so I asked him for more specific directions on when he did and did not want us to take pictures. He hemmed and hawed and tried to avoid making a decision but he finally came up with a policy he liked: he told me to take pictures only in cases where there was going to be a future lawsuit.
I tried to explain to him how time only worked in one direction but I could see he just wasn’t grasping the concept.
I had a boss who was a psychpomp once. He made us all really uncomfortable.
