After some experience with insane/narcissistic bosses, you learn that they're all pretty much the same. When there's an opportunity to make themselves look better by loving you over, they'll do that. When there's an opportunity to make themselves look like idiots while trying to exert their authority, they'll do that too. All you need to predict their actions is the context.

I think he's posted parts of the story in other threads. The first thing I remember was him making some Christmas wreaths out of old memory, like 64MB sticks. The CE threw a fit and wanted him to test them to make sure they weren't broken.

I'm happy my current boss is a reasonable human being, who has never pulled anything like what larches' supervisor has done.

dont even TRY it, pal
100% guarantee the CE is spinning this story that Larches is trying to ruin the station by leaving without notice, and anything that goes wrong in the next 10 years is due to Larches' lack of documentation / failure to set things up properly / introducing non-buffalo products to the environment.

He will learn nothing and will do this same thing to the next poor sap that fills Larches' chair.

Yeah my current boss is a decent guy. It's amazing how a question like, "Why did it take a week to resolve this issue?", can sound so different coming out of his mouth than it did coming out of my old (psycho) boss's mouth. Current guy just wants the information so he can make changes next time if he needs to. Old guy took absolute delight in the opportunity to try and make you feel like you failed and otherwise rub your nose in it.

Lol how when
1) You gave your two weeks
2) the party and cake!


Loooooooooooool, infinite lols. This guy... does he think you no-showed quit today? Is he going into the GM's office saying that something needs to be done about you and GM will tell him you already gave notice and the CE will have the realization that you quit and your final day has already passed and he did no off-boarding?


Just lol at the range of emotions the CE will have as he sits there and goes from "this dude no showed lets fire him" to "holy poo poo this guy quit two weeks ago and everybody knew but me"
