He sounds like a nutter, getting a new job sounds like a good idea.

I was just thinking, he said sorry, which I find surprising (although whether or not he is sincere is another matter). At my last job I never got an apology for bad behaviour. A young girl who I worked was fucking horrible, when I demanded an apology for her threatening to punch me in the face, she just denied it like a cunt.

> he said sorry

Since every time there has been intervention by my boss prior to an apology, I have no idea if that was requested by my boss or not.

That's really depressing, it sucks that you had to deal with that. May I ask what the conclusion was? Did you end up changing jobs?

Now that is interesting, I'm guessing that your boss was responsible for those "sorries".

The conclusion was I got into a lot of trouble for shouting at her, the 2IC was warning me that I could be put on an employment blacklist (he was lying through his teeth), and everyone else just believed her side of the story. I was released from that job a month later. The boss was almost an alcoholic, so I'm not surprised that it was a horror house. I was told that I was "hired by mistake", have you ever come across this situation?
