My boss is crazy. I asked her what her management philosophy is and she changed the subject to ice cream. In the middle of summer she wore a heavy winter coat and passed around plastic penny rings for each of us to take. She confronted me because staff bought me a bigger birthday cake than they gave her. One employee gave a suicidal client a cigarette lighter (after she said she intended to light herself on fire). The woman used the lighter on herself. Our CEO promptly promoted the lighter giver to manager.
