I have no idea. I've been telling this story for years and this is the first time anyone ever thought I was being mean to the boss.

Here's one story about how bad he was. He instituted a policy where we were both understaffed and had an overtime cap. People who wanted to fill needed positions couldn't work because they were capped, and people who didn't want to work were getting forced to stay.

a company I used to work for did stupid shit like that too. it used to run smoothly, once in a while there would be too many people on a shift but usually it was good to handle surges. then they fired almost everyone, hired fewer replacements at lower wages and prohibited overtime. then when surges happened and we ground to a halt, they'd start having a melt down and got punitive and started restricting breaks and other shit. jerks!

We'd be here for the next six weeks if I started in on my old job and the mistakes the bosses made.
