Your bullying boss may be slowly killing you

17. Still time to rec up my Zappa SNL link, then.

I am a bully magnet to this day. I think it may be why it gets me laid off from jobs more than most. I have a lot of flaws, but I'm a critical thinker and can do it quickly. That tends to frighten the empty suits I tend to end up reporting to.

For example, at the send off to our GM five years ago, my toast was; "Bill, you are one of the few people I've ever met in your level of management that wasn't a complete flaming fucking asshole." His superiors and others that flew in from the main plant may not have taken this as constructive criticism. But, I did think these guys could take a joke. I think I was channeling too much Frank Zappa and Hunter Thompson in the workplace at that time?

I will tone it down,( lessons learned) but I can't brown nose to save my freaking life, and I chafe at reporting to people I perceive as doing their jobs much worse than I do mine. But, in middle management these days, the empty suits and wastes of skin are enjoying tremendous prosperity.
