The Insensitive

This boss has no idea that anyone else has feelings. She (he) says whatever she (he) wants whenever she (he) wants and as far as she (he) is concerned she (he) is allowed since she (he) is the boss. There is no filter or good judgment with her (him).

The notion of being politically correct or keeping some thoughts to oneself are not something she (he) practices. The Insensitive crosses the line when it comes to being offensive. As far as she (he) is concerned the staff is too delicate and should toughen up.
