A writer attached to one of the teams in my co is resigning. He had enough of his lady boss, and he wants out. And he's sharing his side of the story with the rest of the Editorial team too.
He said his boss is treating him like a kid, having to report his progress every minute and demanding that he write a formal show-cause letter when he refused to attend a casual media luncheon.
Prior to that, he once asked his boss why certain things are such when it involves him but not quite so if it's involving another writer. The boss was bloody pissed when he did this in their team meeting, obviously cause he had just revealed that she practices favouritism within their small unit.
She accused him of trying to insult her by asking her that in front of the whole team, and accused him of "plotting" against her. (Yeah, plotting is the word she actually used, suggesting her wild imagination, which must have been triggered by inner guilt, humph!!)
Anyway, we all took him out to lunch yesterday and let him pour it all. He also told us that he was appraised very poorly during the company's recent appraisal practice, which kinda sealed the deal for him - he's been saving money in case he has to resort to quitting with a 24 hours notice, but he decided to keep the money and go back to Taiwan where he once stayed as a student for four years, and try his luck there.
Good luck, J!
