Rapidly aging, oblivious thief


Talked to an old boss of mine a few days ago. Told her what was going on in the working world. She had absolutely no comprehension of the fact that there is no remaining economy for anyone succeeding her trough-gorging generation. She was all like, but haven’t you planned for the next 30 years, dummy? I told her that our 401(k)s were decimated. Pshoosh, right over her head. She’s living in a million dollar house. And she lives there like everyone she ever gave a job to owes it to her. An obscene cut from every employee’s salary in a cash business. She’s a “job creator”. (e.g. billing skimmer). She jettisoned key chunks of the creative staff when she realized they were chomping at her ego and making more than $90,000 a year. And, like a fucking idiot, she wonders why we don’t have wealth. All the while she bails her brothers out of jail and goes in and out of rehab. The interest she made pays for the upkeep on her lawn, flowers, and slimy pool. In short, she’s the boss that expects you to thank her for being paid to work 65 hours a week, her cut being the meager 30 hours extra you bill that never went to anyplace but her bank account.
