@just_kitten @Seagoon_ Ugh! That's a massive red flag. You definitely did the right thing getting out of there!

I had a past boss who was constantly taking digs at people behind their backs. Usually past employees.

Somehow, all these ex-employees were grossly incompetent and useless. They stuffed things up.

Never did he acknowledge any blame on his part. Not even, at the very least, for repeatedly hiring the wrong people for the job.

Well.

Sure enough, soon after a major client left. It was largely, ultimately, his fault.

And he refused to take any responsibility, blaming everyone except for himself.

Another time, soon after, he gave one of my colleagues an explicit instruction. She carried it out as he instructed. Then he told her off, claiming that he never said that.

(There were multiple witnesses who heard him say it.)

This became a pattern.

It sounds like your boss might be similar. And you did the right thing by leaving.
