Bully with 80s hair
My boss is a real bully who is constantly on a power trip. Not long ago my father was admitted to hospital, I texted her in the morning saying that I would be a little late as I got home from the hospital at 1am and couldnt sleep due to worry. Her charming text reply was 'as soon as you can please, we all have sleepless nights'. My father was in hospital for 3 weeks and she later told me that she didnt realise there was something wrong with him, she thought he just had an accident WTF!!
Taking holidays is the biggest saga and with an office of 20 people, no one is allowed to take them in the school holidays. I recently put my leave request form in and she got told me verbally that it was ok THREE WEEKS LATER. A few days later I was told that I couldnt take them as it was school holidays. Then in a meeting to discuss this (we had starting making plans & can only go at that time), she inferred that there must be something wrong with my relationship as my partner is only giving me 3 weeks of the year to choose from and she is offering me 41 weeks to choose from. She also asked how I could afford it as I asked for a payrise a few months back (unsuccessful). She also tried to manipulate me by making me feel guilty!!
She is the office joke as she can never complete a task, she goes into excruciating detail when trying to decide something but then gives up. She is extremely messy and leaves grotty cups laying around. She doesnt seem to have any friends, and always talks over people and will not listen to anyone else's opinion.
One of my colleagues coined her 'Big Bird' and now I need therapy whenever I see him!! This woman has had the same hairdo since the 80s and even has a flower fringe!!
This woman sounds as though she has a bit too much interest in your personal life. You shouldn't have to explain about why your father is in the hospital, the point is that he IS and he IS your father... end of story! Also, you shouldn't have to explain how you have the money to take a vacation. Who's to say that you haven't saved the money along the way or that your spouse was successful at getting a raise, or that you may have won a trip somewhere, or it may have been a gift. She also has NO right saying something about something supposedly being wrong with your relationship just because that is the only time that you can take vacation, maybe that's the only time that your spouse can get vacation as well. This boss sounds pretty unprofessional and a bit of a busy body.
