Boss Calling The Coworker Slack

(My boss is an extremely abrasive, rude  person. No matter what goes wrong in the office, it’s always someone else’s fault. Her mood also flips on a dime. I’d been working here two weeks at the time.)

Boss: “[My name]! Come here, NOW!”

Me: “Yes, [Boss]?”

Boss: “Who put in this work order? It’s for the 24th of this month, NOT the 26th. This is a HUGE mistake. You keep messing up!”

(The work order is clearly written in her handwriting.)

Me: “I—”

Boss: “No excuses. What do I pay you for?! I am spending my money, now we have to do the order over again, you’re wasting my time! I’m not sure you’re working out as an employee.”

Me: “But, I—”

Boss: “You’re always making excuses! You’re lazy! All you want is to get paid for nothing. You’re young, so you should work hard!”

Me: “But… but I’m trying to—”

Boss: “Go fix it! You make another mistake, and—”

Me: “This isn’t my hand writing!”

Boss: “Stop making excuses! This is your work order! YOUR HANDWRITING!”

Me: “I… I’m sorry, b-but I know my hand writing. Th-that isn’t it. I didn’t write this order.”

(In addition, she can’t spell, but obviously I don’t mention that.)

Boss: “WHAT?! Stop blaming others for your mistakes!”

(I quickly write down the work order on a new piece of paper to show her my own handwriting. With shaking hands, I hand it to her.)

Me: “See? I—”

Boss: *squints at papers* “Oh, okay. You can go back to your desk now, sweetie.”

Me: *speechless*

(After months of verbal abuse, getting my first ever grey hairs, and stress ulcers, I had to leave. Good riddance! I do worry about the other workers left behind, because the boss is awful to everyone working under her!)
