My old boss was really the pits He’d shout and have HUGE hissy fits At the end of the day I received little pay I got to the end of my wits I did work for him as a cleaner He was rude and couldn’t be meaner I have to admit I told him I QUIT … I hated his work and demeanor!

One should not put up with being harassed or bullied by a boss but so many do because they need the job
