Worst boss I ever had: a tale.

The company experienced some turnover and one of my team members was promoted to manager.
Now, she wasn& #39;t better at the job, just had more seniority so she got the nod.

She was a micromanaging queen! We had to account for our time down to 3 minute increments. Mind you, this was front line database support for a medical billing software company, a job where you honestly had to ask the person calling in to make sure stuff was on and plugged in.

Anyway, I came down with something and called in sick. Day one I& #39;m told I& #39;ll need a doctor& #39;s note. Not in line with company policy but I feel like shit so I drag my ass to urgent care.

Doc tests me for strep (positive) puts me on antibiotics, and writes me a note. I& #39;m supposed to be out several more days so I forward the not to evilboss. She says the note isn& #39;t good enough and that I have to come in.

Now mind you, I haven& #39;t taken a sick day at this company since I started and I had just covered for her ass when she was out for weeks earlier in the year but my note wasn& #39;t good enough? Oh hell no.

So I forwarded the whole email chain to the owners of the company. Got a prompt reply saying take all the time I need to get better. A couple hours later a company wide email goes out announcing evilboss is stepping back into her old role.

Moral of the story: don& #39;t fuck with me when I& #39;m sick.
(Or anytime really, but my filters and inhibitions are way down when I& #39;m sick)
