It is said that clothes do not make the man, yet many women in my department have a different opinion. They think my boss looks like a hunk right out of a steamy dream. He’s disturbingly handsome and infuriatingly intelligent, and he always shows up to the office in an impeccably tailored suit, tie, and million-dollar watch. The perfect boss, straight from the Businessman magazine cover.
Unfortunately, these are only appearances. On my first day on the job, I realized he was a cold jerk with a calculator in place of his heart. After a week, it turned out that he was also a ruthless boss-o-bot, demanding, pedantic, and stiff as a broomstick!
I can’t stand him! Or my job, for that matter! Every day, I grit my teeth and do what I’m paid to do – analyses, charts, and summaries. And what I’m not paid for: working overtime and cursing out my supervisor.
But I have a plan. I will hang around in this corporate business for just a few more months, put aside the money to start my own business, and then leave.
And I never want to see my boss again!
However, one icy cold and very unenchanting Christmas Eve, I discover a different side to him and must reevaluate everything I thought I knew. The only question is, did I do the right thing?
