A few years ago, I had a new job at an IT helpdesk. The boss was very laid back and had a great sense of humor. Or so he said… constantly. Then I got FIRED for calling my boss “big papa”. (I was trying to complement him on being a good leader for our team).
He got so angry, he stormed both of us down to HR and he was shaking with fury and indignation when he told me: “i'm NObody's father.” Shaking. Vibrating with rage.
I got fired the next day.
So much for that laid back sense of humor!
Alright, Mr. Painfully Obvious Daddy Issues, see you never.
