What did he do to you this morning?
Krapus: I think the word aptly describe how he treats his managers & staff. He seems to do it on a regular basis.
How apt.
He did it again to me last Friday morning. He looked right "thru" me and ignored me when I answered "8 to 9 seconds" to his question.
He was "condescending". He insisted that it was "11 to 14 seconds". And so, he instructed them to walk faster, and timed it himself. Then, with a "condescending" look on his face, he boasted that it was he, who made it perfect..... and said, "that's the way, very good, "8 to 9 seconds".
WTF ! didn't I tell you so?
Lanie: I told u so!
Leilanie: I would say WTF too if I were in your place. That man can't be saved.
