This is very dreamy. Though she participated in her lawyer-boss's (alleged!) hiding of fees, once he became a total schmuck, this secretary narced him out hard. The motivation?
[The secretary] said she started getting the cold shoulder in 1999 after she refused to take time from a busy schedule to do some work for Gross' wife, Heidi Gross, a lawyer in the firm. There were other incidents, one of which ended with Gross calling her a "fucking idiot," McCarthy told the disciplinarians.
In 2002, not long after Gross scrawled "no" across her vacation request and threw it into a wastebasket, McCarthy told members of the firm about the 1998 check.
She'll never get coffee in this town again.
Jeez, what was he thinking, not recycling that denied vacation request?
Please consider the environment before fruitlessly asking for vacation time.
"Once he became a total schmuck..."
Oh, because stealing from his partners wasn't enough to qualify him for schmuckdom. He had to deny a vacation request to achieve that rank. The theft was mere criminality.
I'm not feeling for either of them. They deserve each other.
The article itself is all "Ooh, you feisty minx, mmrow!" as opposed to "Wow, your boss is a dick."
Not to mention the comments! Oof.
Workin' 9 to 5. . .
"Ha ha! That's a good blonde joke boss! I haven't heard that one before, it's definitely going in my files!" Yeah, I do keep files on stuff like that, and they always think I'm just joking. They laugh nervously after telling me about "dinner" at the Hustler Club and I say, I could so own this company if I wanted to.... Secretary's Day is the last Wednesday of April y'all!
Also, I had a picture of my boss in a dress, so he never said a word to me about anything.
