December 19th, 2011My boss is a real ogre-b****! She parades around the office like she's the best thing since sliced bread, and every good idea has to be her idea or it's not a good idea at all. If anyone disagrees with her about anything, she basically proceeds to explain to you why you're the dumbest person that ever existed. She asks questions but doesn't want to hear the answers because she knows it all already. We recently were asked by HR to do an "anonymous" 360 degree evaluation of her, but before we did them, she announced in the staff meeting that if anyone said anything bad about her on the "anonymous" evaluation, she'd find out who said it because she has friends in HR. We can't even complain to anyone about her antics because she DOES have friends and HR who will tell her everything we say and we'd get fired the next day! That's a real fine way to run a place, isn't it! They only pretend to give a sh*t what we employees think about anything!

Angie P, your boss is an ogre-b****, but my boss is a limp d**k, a real coward. He had one of his underlings fire someone on our team, and when the fired woman went to speak with him about what she did wrong to get fired, our boss came running to my office to hide behind my door , just so he could avoid her! What a stand-up guy! It's a good thing he has no sons because he could never teach a boy to be a man!

I look back at Allied Barton Security Services, the company I was fired from in a whole new light than I did while I was working with them...See the company pushed being "open minded to a diversity in the work place," through a series of self study certificate courses. For, as Allied Barton put it: Diversity in the work place would bring about greater creativity, and customer customer and community relations.
Interestingly enough at Allied Barton Security Services at my post, my site supervisor was not interested in anyone else's ideas or opinions. Too bad it took me getting fired to find out just how insecure and.arrogant this man realty was ...other guards on that post tried to tell me. Since I have a strong belief in using open dialogue to close the any gaps that may exist between by building bridges through fortifying bonds, I tried this route. I actually feltththat we were making progress. I did not realize that my boss was getting angry to even have this type of conversation with me. I explained, "just because I hold a different opinion doesn't mean that I cannot work with you civilly". My boss replied, "you always disagree with me....if you don't like the way I do things, you can report me to the office". I said, "no, I have noreason to report to you to the office...we are perfectly capable of dialogue tto gain an understabding between us.......That was my last day at work. The next day my boss wrote me up for every trivial thing under the sun. Seriously, no exageration. Write-ups none of the other guards working there for the last five years have ever seen.
The operations manager at Allied Barton did not care to even hear another side to the story. So much for all their customer relations training and employee relations training. Not even the operations managers at Allied Barton apply it in their day to day duties. I was frustrated because I coudn't get any of my bosses to hear me out at all.
I have moved on, I am still looking for work, and I have seen these types of patterns in my life with past bosses, where for no valid or.aparent reason I am being fired or not hired permanent after an ended contract. So, I am doing my best to look and see what my part in this was and to take ownership of it. No matter if I understand it or not. Because, I can tell this is my karma to over come...because it effects me so...I am all to happy that I have the means to overcome nyg negative karma in my lifetime. I wish my bosses the best and thank them for highlighting the karma I need to over come in my life. .
Thanks for reading.

Amen to what Michele Abbott said. I worked for a place that said all the right stuff about diversity and inclusion, teamwork, valuing its people, and all the other good stuff. But, when it came down to it, that crap was only window dressing. The upper management types were only about getting more power, wielding it over other people and crushing them, and seeing who they could blame for their own screw-ups. They all kissed the president's ass, and he was the biggest fool of them all because he believed whatever his minions told him and made decisions on that basis. The worst one is this woman manager who controls everything it seems. She's the worst kind because she's a conniving B with power. If you piss her off for anything, including the color of shoes you wear to work, she makes it her mission to ruin you, and she gets away with it because everyone knows she is having sex with her boss, so he won't stop her from doing anything she wants to do. I thought that place was a upstanding place to work and so I was happy to go there, but it didn't take long to see the truth. I'm just waiting for them to do something to me, and then I will sue the hell out of them. I already talked to a lawyer and he told me to keep notes in a file at home we can use to prove harassment and retaliation when the time comes!
