In my last job, they were always going on about being feminists and equal opportunities etc. (even though the office was mostly women) to the point of having a job opening and complaining only men were applying (it was a tech lead role, go figure) and then when a woman applied and performed literally the worst I've ever seen in an interview, way underperforming when the other applicants answered all the questions without getting angry or defensive, and then they hired her on the spot, I quit a month later. She had no clue when she started, and I wasn't about to shore up that cr#p.
At the end of a tense manager's production meeting, where we all wondered how we could cope with the volume of work, it was announced that the boss wouldn't be in work that day as he had contracted gastric flu. The volume of the shouts of 'Thank f^&k for that' & 'Couldn't happen to a better person' told me that he was hated by all & it looked like I was the only one likely to not put up with his bullying & rants.
"I went to leave on time, and I was asked if I was working a half day. My manager's argument was that if I could leave on time, I clearly didn't have enough work, and I should be working late every single night."
