I don't like to start sentences with "So" but I'll make an exception here:

So we got a new boss. The transition seemed harmless enough at first. Turns out, he's one of those tiny men that can't take an ounce of criticism without lashing out. The type that was beaten by his dad or by the other kids in school or both.

Anything, and I do mean any thing that goes against little Napoleon's mind, will get you into trouble. Because the little man feels attacked and he goes right to the feels instead of sticking to the facts.

We'll meet one day, in the server room, with no witnesses.

How well do you like your job and cow-orkers? Basically, how much Napoleon complex can you deal with before it becomes untenable? District engineer at my first post college job was exactly as you described. Made it 3 years with him, but he was ultimately the reason I left.

I did some soul searching afterwards, and made mental notes of abuse I would never take again. I stuck to my guns, and quit another job in 2005 without anything else lined up for reasons. It was dicey going living off savings for 3 months, but it was the right thing to do. Point being:

Stand your ground until it isn't worth defending, but have a definite limit in mind. Tough to do when you've got a family to support, but you'll sleep easier and won't loathe yourself if you stick to your guns.

In the mean time, start signing him up on gay porn sites. Endless possibilities to help make his existence as tortuous as he makes yours. Remember: We're here to help!

Thank you. My coworkers are almost all top notch, great bunch of people and very competent in their jobs. Some have been at the outfit for almost as long as I, approaching 4 decades.

There's a limit of crap I'm willing to take. If and when that is reached, there will be a gradual change in my work ethics. Lining up something new that's also worthwhile is not easy at my age. Some things still have to fall into place until my wife and I reach relative financial independence. For now, it gets closer each passing month.

Love the idea of being a nuisance. I'll keep that in my bag o' tricks. :)

I quit my last job over a piece of shit like that. He was 5 foot 6 on a good day and skinny. He wasn't my boss, but a client of the company I was a contractor for.

That means I got to do my job however I want, as long as it is done. He just couldn't grasp the concept of it and was constantly trying to boss me around, unsuccessfully. The company was aware of his bullshit, did nothing.

I was driving to work one morning and said "you know what, fuck them all" turned the car around, sent the company email my contract is finished, and went home back to sleep. I did have something else lined up, I am not that crazy.

Good show! Might do just that at some point. Certain financial goals should be met first, but a guy can only take so much.

It's not me, but I will have to remind myself that there's two ways to do your job, if you know what I mean.

Have you ever considered that you might be the retard in this situation?

Only every day. :)

Constant self doubt is not a healthy way to exist. It's comforting to hear similar complaints from my coworkers and other people who do, or used to, work with that guy.

Apologies, I was referring to the first two sentences of your post.

I don't like to start sentences with "So" but I'll make an exception here:

So we got a new boss.

You are the retard and coward in this situation, willing to give up on your own personal values and grammatical convictions in order to more conveniently make a post, blithely telling us how you prefer to start sentences, then ungraciously submitting us to a grotesque and voyeuristic display of your transgressive and libertine ways.

Watching you type those words was disgusting, it was like watching a prostitute snare a John;

I don't usually do that, but anything for you, Daddy

I don't know if your new boss is right or not, but I can tell by your loose use of 'So' as an interjection to start a sentence that you are certainly a bad apple, some sort of playboy who abides by rules until they no longer suit him.

Regardless, I hope your work situation improves. Faggot.

Triggered! :D I blame myself for the feeble attempt at humor.

Thanks. I love you and be nice to the orderlies.

If your company uses keystroke loggers, and you have admin access, I'll bet he is doing stuff on company time with company computers that he should not be doing.

Tell me more, please. What it mean?

A coworker called today and I think he'll take the prey before I have a chance to get back there.

Short black man syndrome is someone who is exactly like you describe. Everything is a challenge to them, or a threat.

If you've ever met a short, black man - they tend to act like that. More chimp than champ. They have ego problems because they can't tower over you with strength.

Coincidence? I think not! !
