My way or the Highway Boss

This is the real all purpose asshole boss. He is the kind of guy that is "my way or the highway"! Tables and presentations have to his way. If someone puts any different color in the spreadsheet he would yell "who is messing with MY tables???". We even nicknamed them as "spreadshits". Well, I was the one doing all the forecasts so I needed to make it easier for me to handle all those vehicle model forecasts!!! The only thing for him was to approve the final numbers and then he would make me and the other analyst sit in front of him and he goes line by line in the spreadsheet looking over each number....and the he would be the oly one facing the monitor!!!! It would be hours of me and my colleague staring at each other and listening to the stupid boss complaining about everything!!!! He also like to make everybody against each other in the team! He claims he can speak English, and he yells at us from his office: F-O-R-O-W-A-R-D that email to me!!! (I worked in a North American company based in South America).

Once a Consultant from Booz Allen was doing a Strategic Planning work at the company and needed our support with information. During a meeting this asshole started arguing with the Consultant and refused to give him information! He thought that they were so confidential that the consultant hired to do strategic work couldn't see!!! I was so embarrassed.... He was afraid of giving any information to anybody even inside our Sales Dept. I had to ask his specific permission by email in order to give important information for the Sales Team.

He was rude to everybody. He spends most part of the day bitching about colleagues and drinking coffee.

I really hated him so much. Once I got so stressed that both my ears went deaf. I got infection in both of them...Then he would call me from his office (knowing that I was deaf). Of course I didn't hear and then he had to come to my desk.

I was 2 years in hell with this asshole. He fired me saying he wouldn't give me any raise or promotion. He couldn't say I was incompetent because he signed my evaluation saying I was good at my job.
