That's why I went Galt almost 20 years ago. The higher up boss was ignorant of my job, but was trying to micromanage it. He was gung-ho about some next level down manager, and he wouldn't believe what I reported to him. Well, some time after I "retired," this manager showed his true colors in a big meeting and was hauled bodily out the door. Last I heard, he was a dispatcher for a truck company, a huge drop in pay and responsibility.

It was hard going a dozen years without any retirement pay, but I juggled things and got through it. Things are fine now. I'll never work for a company again.
