My husband came home yesterday at 4:45 singing, “Ding dong, the witch is dead!” Yes, his evil boss has permanently left the building. Turns out that she decided to try her evil ways on the wrong people. She got so mad when two of her employees took vacation on the same day (even though she approved it) that she decided to “manage” their employees herself in her own special verbally abusive way. They did not appreciate this, and pulled Evil Boss’s boss, the plant manager, aside to tell him so. The plant manager and HR decided to open up an investigation, which my husband participated in. The investigation started on Monday, and by Friday, she was cleaning out her office and we were going to the Japanese steakhouse to celebrate!
Oh, and HR Lady didn’t get around to submitting the paperwork for my husband’s demotion. She really was awesome in all of this. If it weren’t for her, my husband would not have a job right now.
My husband is really, really happy right now, and so am I.
She sounded pretty bad, but apparently she was relatively competent.
I do believe my stepmother will take the prize for worst boss of all time. In the three years since she’s been in control of the company, they’ve lost 75% of their revenues… to ex-employees.
This story has renewed my faith in humanity. It should be on the CNN news ticker, fercryin’outloud. I’m so sick of layoffs and that kind of talk. Hearing a story of some Evil Boss getting their walking papers is just the kind of sunshine we all need in these dark, dark times.
YAY for everyone!
