I'm going to quit RIGHT NOW." Then he called two of the other employees who had already left and asked them if they took it, then called one of our bosses and said we were all thieves.

I told him to calm down and that it was probably in his car. When he went out there, he called us from his phone, all sheepish, saying "Yeah, it's in here". No apologies for accusing us of taking his ratty POS.

So yes, men can be total drama queens as well.

P.S.-Not all women are emotional, either. Some (like myself) can be "stoic, reserved, aloof, distant, unemotional, cold"...words normally used to describe men. And I've seen men cry.

Yes, but he sounds like he is a gay man and the effeminate one in any potential relationship. Having said that, one poster pointed out that you don't hear of too many women going into a workplace and shooting everyone up.

You really do not understand women, do you?

College doesn't teach you business skills. Only experience does.

BTW, I had a MALE boss once who used to cry regularly.

I've never worked with anyone who cried in the workplace and I've been working more years than you have been alive. Maybe it is something that you bring to the workplace that is causing the tears.

Not all women cry at work, jerkwad. Sweeping generalizations get you nowhere. Talk about living up to the stereotypical judgmental idiotic male.
