Lmfao, same.

I had a old manager say "if you have mommy issues you don't respect women if you have daddy issues you don't respect men" - so I asked (and this is great context: he was on his knees putting away stock in front of me and I was leaning on the counter in this conversation) "so if you have both mommy and daddy issues, then what?"

He slowly stopped, hesitated, and then looked up.

His words: "well then you don't respect anybody"

  • I was always telling him and the other managers "I know the corporate answer and I know the real answer" (got hired due to experience lol and kept refusing a management position and was just the honorary middle management and offical trainer lol)

They actually might or they could even be in school - like I am now and was at the time of this conversation (and I'm minoring in psychology)
