“What I didn’t tell him was that she had hidden about $400K of debt from me.”

"This is basically what happened to me during my divorce, except my lawyer didn’t tell me anything. I just refused to speak or respond to my ex, as I knew it wouldn’t help the situation. 

He was abusive and attempting to represent himself. He went on to yell and berate me in front of the judge and lawyer. It went about as well as one would expect for him. Luckily, no kids were involved for me, so that definitely made it simpler."

"The American century of humiliation is real, and we're living it."

"My friend got a text from a mutual; the director said, ‘I will fucking destroy him,’ to said coworker, which he then sent to the board again, stating that if any retaliation takes place, he will file suit. 

Needless to say, the board further reprimanded the director and basically restricted him from interacting with my friend indefinitely. My friend left the company shortly after and got a unionized job in the same field."

"It wasn't long before the day came when he issued some dictum that flew in the face of our compliance with a government program we were audited for, and one where, if we failed the audit, we would be unable to import goods for months.

Normally, I'd have said something. But given his distaste for feedback and his requirement that we follow orders blindly, I simply did what he said. And yes, we failed the audit, and yes, when I was asked about it, I told HIS boss exactly whose idea it was. He ended up ‘resigning,’ but I suspect it wasn't by choice."
