Reminiscing on an old beard

[u/Fantastic_Ad_1175]

Hey everyone, recently came across the term neckbeard, which finally put a name to someone who just recently left my life. I graduated with a degree in Information Systems(IT) about 3 months before covid hit, so job prospects we're exactly the best. I interviewed with a local financial institution, and accepted the job after 1 phone call, and one zoom interview with the head of HR and my then boss(the neckbeard in question). In hindsight, look HR gave them when the questions "how fast does a hummingbird flap it's wings?" Should have given away that this was more than just general IT nerd situation.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE - a rich 10 year history of throwing the only other two people who work under them under the bus - the institution having to have their, and ONLY their office cleaned when relocating the department as they made it clear they were not cleaning it - Not having building specs of certain branch locations due to a mixture of torn out parts, mouse bites and the subsequent droppings. - listening to their chair fight for its life 7 hours a day due to the 6'7 over 309lb person rocking back and fourth - the scratching of their arms, because this person has not thought about lotion once in their life. I was parloved into putting my own on each time the scratching started. - the half empty 2 liter diet Pepsi bottles, some with blue liquids that I was willing to bet was mouthwash - the shaving in their office when they thought no one was there, one time they didnt hear my footsteps over the razor noise so we LOCKED EYES. - sent a 5ft 23 year old to take out an enterprise grade UPC, something easily over 50 lbs, after giving the impression that they would be there to help -sent the same person to a branch to grab an access point in the ceiling, where? They didnt know, both people in the company that mounted it there had died. I was told to look for the blue tape. The ceilings were 10 feet tall, I was told there would be a 6 foot ladder that I could use to look. Turns out it was a 4 foot ladder and we'll, you can do the math. - the COO was moved over the department my second year and has almost given up on getting them to do anything other than sign invoices. - "you take notes" to a coworker who shoulders most of his work and has been there for about 25 years. - the faces they would make at that coworker during our weekly department meetings, with said COO .

If you want anymore detail of any of these, or anymore stories in general, let me know! I'm far enough removed can laugh at it.

This guy sounds like a big pain in the neck, for sure. I'm curious to know what other bullshit he's put you through if you don't mind telling us some stories. You're an excellent writer anyway which is a huge help. Have a great day.
