re: Any of you ever have a-hole bosses that you had to deal with?

Don't burn the bridge. HR and others talk. You never know what is passed from one source to another.

I resigned because my boss was a prick. In the new position I was in his shoes .....Had the entire sales team and staff. Made corrections and did 140% of plan in the first full year. Ran into them at a major Trade Show. He smarted off "You never did that with us!" "Fired back, you never left me alone! Move out of my way, I do some pretty amazing work."
