'I made the mistake of giving 6 months notice': Entitled manager forgets to hire new employee, spends 4 months doing double the workload

It's amazing how far some folks can get in the world without any common sense. It really baffles the mind! There are some workplaces where you can work very hard and achieve great things… all while your manager is the dimmest person you've ever met, and can't get anything right, yet they still make 15x your salary. You find yourself thinking that you'd be a much better person to have in charge as you help that manager rotate a PDF. You watch as they make mistake after mistake, and then just blame it on the exact same employees who warned them about that mistake in the first place. It's maddening, to be sure, and this person has a story about the incredible incompetence they witnessed from their own boss. 

Next, read about the customers who were weirding out the retail workers, like one person who decided they'd "call the store… while they were in it."
