Cut to last month, when the eviction notice came and she told us we'd be out of work by the end of the week. I offered to buy the equipment and customer lists for 20% of what they were worth, and she being desperate sold everything to me cash. Good riddance to bad habits and hello new company of my own!

He was a nightmare to work for. I stayed for 9 months and I was one of the longest-term employees in the department. He wasn't the CEO but the head of IT. Even the CEO was afraid of him. After I moved on, they shut down the whole IT department to get rid of him and contracted out to a software company. I've also worked for an over-compensator, but I'd take her any day over the tyrant. Now I work for myself, which is my favorite boss so far. My first boss out of college was #1, the tyrant.
