Re: Getting rid of a bad boss is the best thing that's happened to me
[quote name="Gentleman Jim Browser"][quote name="laudablepuss"]Thankfully he does leave me alone most of the time, actually. But I've learned that having been in the marines is an excuse to be an unprofessional jerk, so that's interesting. (My boss was a marine. Also, I should mention I've worked with a few marines who were awesome, and he's a dipshit outlier as far as I can tell.)[/quote] Worst boss I ever had was a Marine, and it was early in my career. So I naturally assumed that they were all condescending pricks. Next ... god, 10 military men I worked with were all much, much better than the average civilian. For me it's been the best of the best with the occasional worst of the absolute worst. A bad ex-military guy ain't gonna change because in his mind, all of his decisions have been fantastically correct to get him where he thinks he is in life (successful, a hard worker, the reason it all works around there) instead of reality (a barely-tolerated windbag)[/quote]
