You know, I used to work for a man like Trump

He managed like a complete idiot and would come up with the stupidest schemes.

Most of the time I felt like I was living real life episodes of "Hogan's Heroes".

He was extremely vain (the conference room was full of wall to wall pictures of him), extremely thin skinned and monumentally petty.

And to top it off, I was taller than him at 5 feet 4.

I still marvel that I survived that moron, but he was an educated moron.

I don't know which is more dangerous.

and he is no longer with the agency.

Management was completely fed up with him.

And yes, co workers did see his idiocy -- some even joined in with him (just like Trump's sycophants).

The last man I worked for in fact.

I had dozens of them in my career and the last one was the worst one.

A narcissistic SOB.

The harassment began when I came in and did not stop until he left for the day.

I wonder how many other women have had to put up with asswholes like this that managed to just walk away free?

I am sorry to learn that you were yet another victim of such a sicko!

There are too many of us!

I was not so lucky to survive. I got so sick that I never went back. In hindsight, despite the tremendous price I have had to pay, I am glad I got away. I lasted just over 6 months.

As for the SOB, he is now dead.

Good riddance!
