My boss told a story last night that confirmed for me that she cannot be trusted AND that she is a HORRIBLE human being. I came home after our work happy hour with a huge feeling of ICKINESS after hearing her story.
She told us of the old days at the company, 20 something years ago, when everyone at work was hooking up and partying hard. It was either with our company, or another company she worked at before that. Either way, that part doesn't matter. She and a group of colleagues were curious to know whether 2 of their co workers were dating, because they were always seen together.
Rather than just assume they ARE dating, my boss took it upon herself to follow the two co workers after work in their cars, she in her car, and they in their separate cars. She followed them in her car, on the highway and into the city, to one of their homes, where she saw them both go inside, confirming for she and her colleagues that the two are in fact, dating. Well, she told this story and told us how she kept her head down the whole time while driving, to avoid being found out that she was following their cars. She also had her whole group of friends at work on the phone AS she was following them, giving the group blow by blow details of the chase.
She told this story to my whole team of 8 people last night. I walked away from the night feeling completely sickened and appalled.
WTH? Who the hell does that kind of thing?!?!? I don't think she did this to tell on them - I think she did it because they wanted to know the truth.
it is SO sneaky and SO invasive! I truly couldn't believe what I was hearing!
I told my mother this story last night, and her immediate response is clearly my boss is very underhanded and cannot be trusted one inch. I am walking away feeling the same way.
I reached out to the recruiting agency that recruited me for this position yesterday. I am going to start looking for another job. I've had it.... yesterday, before even hearing this story, I had concluded that the writing is on the wall that I should leave the company. My boss dislikes me, she is undermining me and is hindering me from being fully successful, and I can't stand working there anymore. Why SHOULD I stay?
But what do you think about the story my boss told???? What do you think it says about my boss?
