Hey @Crook32: Thanks for clarifying how you came to think your boss is bipolar. I know you were not trying to offend anyone I was just concerned that you would be observing behaviors and then guessing or assuming the boss was bipolar. I’d hate to have behaviors of a bad boss attached to the bipolar diagnoses because very often people hear about bipolar and use misinformation to slap a diagnosis on someone. So I understand better now. Bipolar is the soup du jour lately. So many news stories about people committing violence and the media is quick to point out that someone was bipolar- like linking the two. Bipolar doesn’t mean violence.

So that is how I know. I am not planning to say anything about it I was just curious if people thought it might be a good or bad thing. I know my current bosses have no empathy and I thought maybe someone who has been through it might.
