ColdHearted

Hi all, its me again...

Need a lil friendly advice....

I've talked about my boss, who has been my best friend for over 20 years now. All of a sudden, about 6 months ago, there was a change in him, it wasn't noticed at first...but now you can't miss it. He's making us so miserable that were all looking for new jobs.

He's drinking more, which I know is not the most novel approach at handling the stress of a business. But, its his mouth...and the words that are coming out of it that has us most concerned.

2 months ago, a former employee lost her battle with cancer. It was a shock to us that she had passed, (none of us knew) she was around the age of 47, left children and a husband behind. A friend of her's, also a former employee come in one morning and told us about her death. I sent my condolences, and uttered shock over it. Which I truely was.... Later that day, I repeated it to my boss...whose reply was.. "Good!" "She needed to die, that worthless bitch robbed me the whole time she worked with me.."

There were no other emotions, ...I, to put it "Redneck"...crawled right up in the middle of his back and flogged him over his statement. With no doubts left, he understood that I felt he was a cold hearted SOB, and how wrong he was.....for that. That she was someone's mother, sister, daughter...and how do you think they felt about it?"

Another death come around about a week later, a former running buddies...father had died. He mistook which "Steve" we were talking about, and the same cold hearted remark. "So...who gives a ****". Then he figured out it was his former buddies father, and he gave some hint of emotions about it. Actually gave a condolence to his friend. Further than that...nothing. No respect paid, no nothing.

Then two weeks ago. A very sad accident took place. A very good friend of ours...all of ours, died in a tragic accident. He left behind his wife, and adopted son and daughter. The whole town was shocked by his death. This man, had friends from all walks of life, and we all had memories of him from some of the former escapades that we lived through..to tell.

Moving on....

Today, this man's wife walked into the store, she's having a very hard time with his unfortunate death. And considering its only been two weeks, I feel its to be expected, ITS TOO BE EXPECTED AS LONG AS SHE FEELS THE NEED TO MOURN. This man was the love of her life...she was head over heels in love with him...no doubts!

Our BOSS......had the nerve to say...after she walked out of the store..."What? Is she still milking that?"

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I unfortunately wasn't there to hear it, I promise you, if I had of been, I would have flogged him again, and probably would have quite my job over it. This was one of his former best friends.....this is his wife standing there....this is someone...a person, who has feelings that are deeply injured, and may stay that way for a very long time...and he's making comments about her "milking it"?

What kind of person does that? I am so lost at his loss of feelings, emotions, compassion....sympathy, respect....

Its not just me, we are all looking at him like he's lost his mind, that he's this wicked human walking amongst us....Day of the living Dead....

Someone got a clue? Alcohol...I'm sure thats part of it, but this man...I believe the only thing that would upset him is loosing his money. Then I might see a tear.....
