Ahhh…it’s yet another chapter if the saga of **Lsura** and her boss, **the bitch**. You _still_ haven’t figured this out, have you, you bitchwad? You keep trying to drive a wedge between the rest of the department, but it’s not working. You’re stressing about it, aren’t you? Right now, you’re trying to be all nice to me to my face-I know that you’re trying to convince the rest of them that I’m your little pet of the moment. What you don’t count on is that we _talk_ to each other. I know what you said to one of my coworkers about me. I also know that you talk about us to other managers in the company. We all have good working relationships with them-and _they_ tell us things too. I almost walked into your office and quit yesterday, bitch. What I was told that you said about me was almost the last straw. The only reason I didn’t is that I have to pay my rent and my bills, so I can’t quit until I have another job. But I’m interviewing and I’m looking aggressively. And when you lose all three of us? I’m sure you’ll try to convince everyone that “we just didn’t want to work”. You know yourself that that’s not the case. We do the work, because we like the work. It’s you that we don’t like. Go take your two faced self and lord it over your husband and kids. One of these days you’re going to realize that no one is irreplaceable, no matterhow much you say that the company thinks you “walk on water”. Oh, and I have no desire to know about your performance review. These were all supposed to be done by Friday, by the way. Why haven’t we had ours? ---

what did she say about you, **Lsura**? [sub](well, if it wasn’t something private you don’t want to say.) ---

Man, I know what it’s like to have a back-stabbing boss. A former boss of mine would talk behind employee’s backs all the time. quite a morale-builder, isn’t it. On the positive side, you now have a complaint to file with HR. Explain to them that your review was not completed on time and ask how this can affect possible raises and/or promotions. You and your coworkers can do your own version of “death by 1,000 cuts”. Just a little jab here and there can really damage someone’s reputation. Let’s see how long her “walks on water” designation lasts. ---

> [@](#): > > _Lsura said_ > > Isn’t it fun to work with someone who’s so delightfully petty? oh, yes… so fun. i suppose a concerted effort to get her fired/ yourself reassigned is the best way to go. {insert humorous anecdote here, proving that i am not just another driveby poster} ---

When you do leave, be sure to inform her in very blunt terms exactly why you’re leaving. ---

This is exactly why I’m really not looking forward to getting a job. ☹ I hope you have a lot more fun leaving then you did working there - your boss or not your boss, no-one should have to put up with that shit. ---

Make a doll out of straw and castoff pieces of your boss’s clothing. Poke it with pins, break it’s arms, legs, let you dog chew on it/eat it/pee on it, let critters get at it’s crotch, etc. Even if you don’t believe in this sort of thing, it’s pretty satisfying. Trouble is you may find yourself having to make new ones regularly as you destroy the old in fits of anger. b. ---

Lsura… you only have a small opportunity to get another job… your 1,000th post is right around the corner and it has to be you telling all of us that you told the bitch off once and for all! (or you cannot post until you get a job, either or… but you cannot supress yourself like that… so BAIL!) ---
