    some people really seem to think that shitting on the ones who actually do the job solves anything

      That guy was an egomaniac with a pathological need to be the smartest person in the room. Which was unfortunate for him, because although a competent technician, he was awful at running a business. Also he decided at some point that he knew enough about his craft in a field where everything is constantly changing.

      I’ve left so many bosses like that.

      I just don’t have time for them anymore. I’ve actually done

      • “2 weeks of holidays starts after today. Here’s my 2 weeks notice.”

      • “what am I doing after work? I have a cab arriving out front and a plane ticket. I’m not coming back”

      • came in, catalogued and dropped off my own gear in a locked space, took photo, key to a peer, dropped by HR on the way out, switched off phone.

      The less they can live in your headspace, the better.

      To be fair, I voiced my concerns. I told one boss he had a year. I gave him 18 months.
