I couldn't make it. Hell, I had a micromanaging prick supervisor over the summer and printed out a resignation letter twice. Left it on my desk over a weekend too for shits and giggles. I had to work with him for a few months, and in the last 2 months, his "nice" facade disappeared and I got to experience:
- Having to draw up a detailed schedule of exactly what I was working on for a month.
- Had the schedule shit on, was accused of being slow and/or incompetent over the phone even though email was preferred and more effective.
- Forced me to work out of his office in another town over (1 to 1.5 hour drive away -- yep, in a hurry, so let's waste 2 productive hours a day) when I could do everything at my home office.
- Checked up on me multiple times a day at his office, and checked up regularly when I was back home.
- To top it off, the fucker made me do a presentation of the project infront of about 20 people with 15 minutes to show time. With the pattern above, I can't help but feel he was trying to humiliate me. Luckily, his dumb ass didn't know I winged 95% of all my school presentations and got good at it.
