I worked at a company which was having a district-wide holiday party at a fancy hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Our branch was located in North Orange County. The party's arrival time/cocktail hour was set for 6:30, with dinner being at 8pm.
Our location normally closes at 5pm on Fridays. Since that Friday was a special company occassion, and since people needed time to get changed and fancied up, AND everyone would have to drive 40-50 miles through rush-hour traffic to downtown L.A.....you'd think that our boss would let us out a little bit early, right?
Wrong.
The boss in the deaprtment next door let all of his staff go home at noon. What a guy!!
My boss? My coworkers asked if they could go early and she said no. Then, she came walking by our area at 3:30pm for no apparent reason. It seemed to me as if she was checking to make sure that no one had skipped out early.
About 4pm I had a question about something I was doing and I went by her office to ask for her advice. She wasn't there and the lights were off. I asked the lady who sits right outside her door where the boss was. Her reply?
"Oh, she left for home 15 minutes ago."
