You never recentered the rear axle. So the next guy would jump in and take off going sideways. :rofl2:

LOL! Love it!

Ok, but why in a street vehicle?

Living the majority of my life in New Joisy you either learned how to parallel park or you didn't park at all. Down here in GA I don't think they even test you on it anymore when you get your license. I was visiting a client down here years ago and had to parallel park. Nailed it first try. 6 guys smoking in front of a bar clapped when I got out. They couldn't believe I did it with a manual transmission too. LOL! It's a lost art for sure.

After nearly a year of putting up with mental and verbal abuse from my direct narcissist boss and shielding my team from it, I finally walked out of my job Monday night. Life is too effing short.

During my annual review, I apparently "do not work hard enough" and got written up for it, despite never taking any lunch breaks, working until 1.30 AM daily, and making sure all assignments to me were completed on time and in accordance with her standards, while also ensuring my team was taken care of. She also made a passing comment that she didn't think I deserved a penny from the bonus that was coming my way (which I thought if I sucked so much at my job, why is your boss awarding me with one?).

Bonus check cleared last Friday and was looking to make moves at that point. Monday came around and out of nowhere, my boss came down to my floor and forcefully slid my door open and started screaming about something to which I really wasn't paying attention to. My office had clear glass walls and located in the middle of surrounding cubicles so everyone was able to see/hear what was going on. I pretty much just started at her, as was everyone else, but didn't respond and kept eye contact until she walked away.

Finished out the day and stayed at the office until everyone left. Gathered all my belongings and typed up a long narrative email of exercising my option as an at-will employee to terminate my employment effective immediately, while also putting a formal complaint against my boss and included all the evidence that I had gathered, including emails, screenshots of chat conversations, etc. I copied the entire HR team, which was about 40 people, and also copied the CEO and anyone else in the C-Suite, but didn't copy my boss.

I have about a year's worth of savings, but don't want to dip into that too much, but it has been nice to enjoy the time off to mentally recalibrate. I have never taken a vacation, other than the 1 day to get my Z's CSC/CMC replaced, but turned out to be my benefit, as HR informed me that any unused sick/vacay time would be paid out on my final check.

Folks, life is too short. If you don't like what you are doing, move on.

What is that?

Nope, I can't do it. And I refuse to learn, and refuse to go live/work/play in an area that requires it. And I don't trust the other drivers that they know how to parallel park also.

You do what you have to do. Nobody should have to put up with a nut job boss.

There is nothing worse than going to a job you hate. Work sucks as it is, having a shitty superior makes it worse. Pretty much why I was self employed most of my life.

I've thrown a ball peen hammer at one foreman. The next day, I found myself in another dept. :tup: The foreman was scared of me. I've quit 2 jobs because of azzhole bosses. Done the malicious compliance thing too. At the power plant. Management was happy the day I retired. I was a thorn in their side for 16 yrs. Never lied to them, but never sugar coated the truth either. Which they hated. When upper management would drop in for a visit. They never knew what would I say. I had the ear to one VP. He liked me. He would e-mail me, asking how things were going at the plant. And I would tell him. Plant management could never figure how he knew what was going on. :rofl2:
