@davidbloomberg you’re right, too many people think being scary automatically means you’re doing something right.
@davidaugust That certainly describes her. When people quit or transfer, she usually sees it as a victory because she weeded out the weak. 🙄
@davidbloomberg I hate when people mistake abusive for strong, and being willing to take abuse for gumption.
@davidaugust That pretty well describes her. It was rare for anyone to stand up to her. When I did just before retiring (by trying to hold her to a verbal promise that she’d approve time off to start that retirement), she pushed back. And she definitely wasn’t happy when I found a legal way around her. Got some of the nastiest emails from her. I didn’t even bother to reply. And I’d known her for over 20 years.
@davidbloomberg glad you got around her and glad you got out of there.
@davidaugust Thanks. My blood pressure literally dropped 20 points after I left. It’s just too bad her boss (the agency director) will never do anything about here because they’re very old friends and he has no backbone.
