I was reading this article about how insecure bosses get threatened by certain employees who have greater intelligence, creativity, and energy than the boss. And this article describes my relationship with my boss perfectly.

This the first part that accurately describes my boss:

"Fearful managers don’t build their employees up – they tear them down. Only docile and obedient sheep are welcome in fear-filled environments. If you are too vocal, too smart, too creative, or just too much like yourself instead of the corporate or institutional drone your boss wants you to be, watch out!" My boss did tear me down because I was not sufficiently docile and a "yes-person."

1. He kept me in the dark (along with other employees) about certain things like a couple employees quitting for new jobs. And things like a change in the academic schedule. And his hiring of his cronies.

2. He reassigned one of my important advisories to another teacher who he liked better.

3. He ignored me all the time. Every time I emailed him about an idea, or a problem, or a question, he ignored my email. I had to see him in person to get a response, and even then he wouldn't always respond in person either.

4. He needled me by bringing me down to his office about student concerns when he didn't do that to other teachers who were experiencing the same student concerns at the same time. He singled me out when other teachers were having similar issues with the same students.

5. He criticized me in public and fired me in the end. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2015/...wants-you-out/
