From Unleashing the 7th Degree of Hell Upon Me, to Crying About His Stock Trading Losses

UN.......STABLE!!

My boss plays the stock market every day. He gains a lot and loses a lot too. Doesnt seem like a very good usage of time to me. Honestly, it really IS gambling. Its advanced gambling perhaps but its gambling nontheless. Sometimes when he loses, he'll panic and become this complete pathetic crying baby, anxiety ridden and all. He asks me what he should do as if I know what the hell is best for his stock trading. He'll sit there with tears in his eyes, looking pittiful, begging for some form of positive karma (which he has yet to earn). He'll say things, while he looks at the oblivion of the computer screen, "why cant one little thing go my way......this entire year has been so horrible for me.... why cant i just get a head.....what am i going to do...what should i do.....i just cant believe this". ON and on and on and on......blah blah blah. And to be honest, im so damn compassionate BUT i really dont know what to say to him in those moments as an employee.

Then given a week or two...

My boss can be as insensative as can be. He rules with an iron fist at all times. He claims he's not a control freak. I question in my head, "so.......just a freak then??" So he's not a control freak, yet he demands control of everything. Go figure. He's not a micromanager either. LOL.......Right and im not tired of his crap. lol

He literally unleashed the powers of hell upon me last week to the point where I was nearly in tears. Im a dude....

I dont cry over work drama.

But my boss was so intense, so evil for lack of better verbage that I nearly suffered an emotional breakdown myself!

BUT this time, my boss would not let up. It was extremely obvious that I had nothing to do with the core reason for his hellish attack.
He bottles anger up from every aspect of his life, then whenever one of his employees experieneces a human error, the boss lets fly. Nearly nothing is barred. He got personal with me too, and started saying things that are completely inappropriate in the work place.

THEN, he yelled at me for standing there while he yelled at me. ?!?!?!?! Go figure. "You just wasted 5 minutes standing there", he screamed. So apparently when my boss yells at me, he wants me to walk away??? Im not sure. lol

I go back to my initial recommendation.

My boss needs:

1) A really good panel of therapists
2) A regimen of proper medications
3) A vacation
4) Repeat #2

I finally realized he has a few disorders: OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disorder), superiority complex, LMS (little man syndrome).

When I have another job underway and am ready to quit, when he goes off on me im going to laugh at him, then ask him if he can remember the last time he was truly happy, then ask him word for word, "did no one love you as a child???........oh and I quit."

Then walk out.
