Interesting Company

My wife works at a legal firm with some really interesting characters. A couple of them are so "interesting" to work with that several people have left because of it. One girl recently had just finished studying and had taken up a junior position. She was lucky enough to be offered a bar position a few months later, which she desperately wanted to do. The only problem was that the company would have to release her unpaid for a couple of months to do this. They refused. In fact not only that, but when she discussed handing her notice in, the boss threatened to sue her for recruitment costs etc.

There's another "interesting character" my wife works for, who several people have said they are unable to work with. Despite being a new starter, she's been known to ask for a letter to be produced, and when asked a simple question about the content, refused to clarify. Aside from asking for things to be done and refusing to be more specific, she's then been known to stand up in the middle of the office and proclaim at the top of her voice "This is wrong. You've made another mistake. Do this again!". You're wondering what sort of mistakes warrant this, yes? Well, when providing an appointment, it makes all the difference in the world (it seems) if you write the time and date THEN the address, rather than the other way round.

I can't even begin to go describe this beauty. Why do some people get off on knocking other people down?
