My boyfriend broke up with me a couple months ago after this covid BS. I'm a woman that cleans pools for a pretty big company. The company is great and family run but the boss's daughter is a never trumper and has a trump voodoo doll next to a sign that says "I'm going to be your boss some day." Across the office is a box full of masks with a sign saying "if a customer asks you to wear a mask you have to comply"....the daughter is the same exact age as me and is going to inherit the company from her father some day. They just hired her boyfriend that knows nothing and has zero experience to learn how to do repairs. There is no room for advancement past my 15 dollars an hour. I'm done working for the man. I got an offer from my buddy that owns his own company, he wants to sell me the route that he is getting rid of, and hes going to let me rent to own and teach me remodels. He says hes never worn a mask for work and would never force me to wear one. So I'm jumping on this opportunity to get the fuck out of commie world and start working for myself. Fuck masks. Fuck your daughters trump voodoo doll. And fuck my ex bf that broke up with me because covid freaked him out. I have nothing holding me back anymore. Wish me luck, I'm putting in my two weeks notice in 2 hours. MAGA.

unmedicated bipolar execs are absolutely the worst. I work underneath of one on one of my projects, I take zero shit from him. He wants to cuss me out for nothing? I'll publicly berate him without reserve. That usually settles him down for the day. I don't care if I get fired for it, never accept that kind of behavior.
Once told my boss that he may talk to his other employees like shit, but if he talks to me that way again I would break his nose. Then I went home. Another of my bosses called and asked me to come back and they apologised. The bloke in question never did talk to me like that again. Stand your ground with shit people.
Reminds me of a less dramatic episode a couple of years ago with my company. I do software training for new customers and it had been fully 2 or more years since I’d done technical support. But when they ran into staffing problems they would ask me flex back into that role, which I flatly refused. I’m not doing a job you don’t pay or train me for. One day my manager lets me know that the c-level Customer Care director was directly ordering me (through my manager, of course) to take tech support calls or I’d be fired. I’ve never liked this woman who was our director to begin with. Always thought she was a bitch on wheels and had no clue how to build team cohesion. I looked my manager in the eye, snickered a bit, and said, “ok. If that’s how it’s gonna be. I’m not going to be coerced into doing a job that I’m not paid or remotely trained for.” Called her bluff completely. Never heard a peep about it again and I’m still with that company. As you said, stand your ground.
Nicely done. Managers rarely know how to deal with you when you don't take their BS.
