When I protested her language as well as her attitude, I was told I could take it or get the hell out. I decided I had a third choice. I wrote a novel about dealing with ignorant managers and supervisors using verbatim quotes of every stupid thing they say, and there seems to be no limit.See More I was told the same thing about zero tolerance–I think I used the word ass, which is pretty doggone bad.
