An Internet friend of mine swears this is true, as it happened to him, in his office. He is the de facto computer repairman, only because he has seen the inside of one. One day, his boss asked him to do what he could to repair the cup-holder on the front of his personal PC. A cursory inspection revealed a CD-ROM tray warped beyond repair, and an expensive CD-ROM drive, useless.
I worked the night shift at a restaurant and every Friday night the same 5 deaf men would come to eat. They usually came very late and often stayed passed closing time. One night when they had stayed well passed closing time, I asked my boss if he could please give them some kind of sign that we would like to close the restaurant so they would leave. He reached up and shut off the music.
“I worked in a family-owned bar. The Old Man owned the bar, and it was managed (so to speak) by his son. All of the bartenders were female, and most were single parents. When an additional manager (male) was hired, I asked why our senior bartender was not promoted. The Old Man said that “this is a job for the ‘head of household’, not a woman”. When I mentioned that she was the head of her household, he said that “she needs to get herself a man to support her”.
On another occasion, I asked the manager (son of ‘Old Man’) why there were no male bartenders. He said “tits sell drinks”. When I mentioned that we had a large number of female clients, he said “this isn’t about them”.
Every woman on staff wanted to file sexual harassment/discrimination charges, but, being in the small town it was, feared that they would be labeled “troublemakers” and not hired anywhere else.”

“This boss delighted in intimidating others and making them cry. Once, she stood over me and screamed, ‘I am your boss, I am your boss, I am your boss’. Three times! Then, she did a Nazi raised hand type movement over my head. Eventually, she made my life so miserable that I had to leave. I told her that she was the most obnoxious woman I have ever met.”
“I was preparing an article and asked my boss to review and approve it, so that I could take my upcoming scheduled vacation. My boss waited until the last minute, then verbally assaulted me for 30 minutes straight about the article and who knows what else. She told me I was an embarrassment to the establishment and that I should skip my vacation with my family and pay more attention to my work. I was so devastated, I couldn’t stop crying. It took me nearly three years to recover from that attack and to start to feel confident in myself and my abilities again.”
“My boss expected perfection from everyone. One day, we were having a meeting and discussing some uncomfortable topics. Unfortunately, some people returned from lunch five minutes late. Our manager hit the roof! The already tense room became a time bomb. The boss I really liked became someone I really didn’t want to be around. Was it really such a big deal that these people were five minutes late? The reaction just seemed blown way out of proportion. The boss I once liked became a very ugly person.”
