'I gave her exactly what she asked for': Micromanager boss scolds employee for lateness, regrets it when employee stops working long hours

You know your work environment is toxic if you have to describe your supervisor as a "tyrant." This employee had one of those bosses that no one likes. Not a single person in the company is happy to see that boss when she walks in the door, probably because she had a habit of flipping out over any and everything.

No one wants to have a micromanager boss, especially not one who is constantly flipping out. It's not good to have to be in a constant state of fight or flight over office work! And this employee was used to having chill managers that weren't even around half the time, so starting work with this overbearing boss was surprising, to say the least. 

Instead of offering flexible hours, this boss decided it was more important to demand her employees be in the office from 8-4 every day, no exceptions. Hey, if you don't have to work late, those hours are pretty sweet, as this person found out through their own crafty malicious compliance. 

Up next, these hair stylists shared the rather interesting haircut requests they've gotten over the years, like one person who "wanted a legit bowl cut."
