“His ‘pets’ put up a tear-filled show”: employee tells Bored Panda how the faves stayed untouched
The employee told Bored Panda they decided to share their story because they weren’t in a good headspace after being excluded from the company meeting, and they needed to vent. They felt the level of betrayal was unmatched, especially since the boss had mentored them from the beginning of their career.
“I thought it was not really something a lot of people would understand, but seeing some of the comments being supportive and suggesting responses to my boss’s freak-outs was funny to read and made my day,” they said. “Although seeing some comments taking my boss’s side or straight up calling me incompetent because of one botched meeting dampened my schadenfreude.”
They revealed that everyone was called into a meeting after missing the bootcamp. “He chewed us all out and his ‘pets’ (the other guys who shadowed him in the NT meeting) put up a tear-filled show about how they feel awful about missing that bootcamp and deeply regret,” explained the employee.
“Obviously I didn’t participate in this Shakespearean tragedy but it somehow convinced him to set up another bootcamp the next week. Everyone attended it this time and it was a lukewarm Saturday that I could have spent with a few beers and a good movie instead.”
