Bosses
For some reason, I thought back on a few bosses I'd had during my business career.My last boss was terrific. He was highly intelligent, totally let me do my job, and had my absolute respect.
Then there were the others. Let me smush them into one boss.
Brazen lying to cover any mistakes made. Inordinately crude (even at the VP level). Cocaine addiction (and rehab). Long-term relationship with a hooker until his wife found out. Going to Europe on company business and hiring hookers. Having lunch at strip clubs and submitting it as a business expense (got him fired). Affairs. So many affairs, and usually with subordinates.
When I thought back on it, I realized they all had something in common: they all believed they were entitled to anything where they wouldn't get caught. It was so brazen it was almost breathtaking.
Oh, and they were all men.
It explains quite a lot in terms of our current political landscape.
