  1. My grammar is bad because Microsoft puts squiggly lines under things (I always check to make sure I am, in fact, right when I ignore those). He put this on my annual evaluation.

  2. My charts are “horrible” and ugly.

  3. I clearly don’t think things through.

  4. I don’t understand how (job) is done.

  5. He asked my opinion, I (naively) gave it, and was told my opinion was wrong.

  6. and I lack common sense and am the reason he’s giving the office training on what common sense entails.

I know none of these things are true (because my direct supervisor has my back) and he is equally horrible to everyone else. My coworkers and I have turned him into a living meme.

Ironically he doesn’t understand why the office can’t keep anyone for longer than 18 months…he thinks we’re just a bunch of lazy job hoppers…

I’m young and was eager to work, but this dude has single-handedly changed my thinking about the value of work.

I used to be pretty moderate, but now my coworkers all send me comrade Squidward memes. No longer shall the gentle laborer suffer…
